So.. It Finally Happened. RIP R6

Well, we can add another “drop” to the R6. Hmm, I would actually call it more of a crash since it was considered totaled. But, I was going my usual speed, hah, on the Huntington Ctr Rd, right at the intersection of Van Dine and Main Linky.  Now from the picture is doesn’t look that sharp, but it is up and over a hill and it is quite sharp and rather dangerous.  But basically I had to pick it up and locked the front brakes up; causing the front tire to skid and basically drop the bike.  I fell on my right side on the tar, skid across the road and then flipped onto my left side when I hit the gravel.  Flew across the gravel into the grass/bushes.  It was quite the harrowing experience.  But the bike is totaled, 6000 dollars worth of damage, so the insurance company is giving me $4320 - 500 deductible.  Not a bad deal.

There is PLENTY more to add, but Heather and I have to go move into me into my apartment.  I’ll add the pictures of my scars and the bike in a few.  I am fine, only bumps and bruises, but my parents don’t know yet, and that is the way it is going to stay for awhile.
