Goddamn. Did they at least tag the dumbass with improper turning or something??

At least you should recover fully. Good luck.

Nah, but that was the point where I realized 'this guy whines that he got hurt while obviously he doesn't give a shit about safety'. Coz you don't, if you don't wanna wear helmet at all times. Hell, riding a motorcycle is generally saying that you don't really care, especially such big one. No, obviously I'm a car driver and I don't like motorcycle drivers on the roads. Oh, and I've been in 2 car-motorcycle crashes so far(their fault), the only thing that was damaged on my side was the car, they both winded up in hospital. Didn't really give a fuck about what happened to them anyway. I understand people riding small bikes to commute easilly, but riding such a beast and not even waring a helmet is just dumb. That's why people call you organ donors. You quit riding a bike, coz you're afraid that you might get hurt again? That's pretty much saying I'm right.

EDIT: Oh, it's not like I'm superevil carmageddon fella riding over every motorcycle driver and I'm happy you're hurt. I hope you make a full recovery, never ride a bike again;but seriously - you had it comming. Imagine what would happen if you were driving a car instead(well, too bad, the insurance is gonna cover a new bumper:<).

shit like this is why ill never ride a motorcycle ever and have a serious logical discussion with anyone i know who does. No amount of fun is worth risking your life everytime you're on the road. It has nothing to do with the skill of the rider, other drivers are retarded. Glad you're relatively okay dude

Do you wear a helmet when you drive a car? Why not? It's more safe. When people professionally race cars they wear helmets. Why shouldn't you?

Do you wear a helmet every time you ride a bicycle? Why not? Are you not worried about your safety? Do you ridicule every bicycle rider who does not wear a helmet?

It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp why one would not always value their complete safety with the upmost importance.
Also saying "you had it coming" is not chill.
Plenty of people die or get injured everyday for not taking taking all possible precautions. It is extremely ignorant to say "they had it coming". ):

Kawasaki Ninja Ex500, black and silver. dual exhaust. I just loved it. Even though she wasn't the fastest, I think topping out at 136 is pretty good for it. =)

I bolded that for a good reason....I feel that same way....The pure enjoyment of just being on one is ridiculous. Anyone that says anything else has probably not rode one, or has and has wrecked and never got over it....No body just stops riding one day like "eh...its just not fun anymore, I'd rather drive a car"

I know....I know...Its just I had just started this other job last month....and I was probably gonna wind up the store manager man...Fuck....that just eats me up....The other job can go fuck itself....

My gf's brother-in-law I think just got a YZF r750, and that thing screams....it has a few probs with it and I was gonna help him a lil in getting shit down, but idk....a ZX6R Ninja wouldn't do you bad, they are really pretty bikes in my opinion. I don't know much as to the performance. I'd go with the CBR though. I've had my problems with getting parts for my Ninja...But that's just probably my model too...so Idk...

And do you really need all the power that a 10X has to offer? I mean shit, only reason I'd ever try and push my bike that hard would be to outrun the cops, but thats dangerous as fuck. Lol...

I seen a minecraft tribute to him where they made a pic of him with blocks. Srsly tho, he needs to be the voice for books on tape or somethin lol.

Damn....XJR1300, and you just laid it out in a parking lot?!

Haha yeah I definitely don't need a 1000cc bike. I'm a pretty big dude (6'3" athletically fit) so I feel like I could handle the size of a 1000cc but I'll definitely do some test driving before getting one. But yeah, ideally I'll get a 2003 or 2005 CBRrr600:
+ Show Spoiler +
I was just so impressed by this.

However I'm a college student so one of my number one concerns is money. While I want to treat myself with this, I can't go too overboard with it.

Also definitely not planning on doing any outrunning of cops. lol.

Well FU, it wasn't really on purpose. I never dared speak to said secretary for the rest of my job, either. I had to go work with my bicycle. It was a 4am job, during winter.

Finally got the repair paid, this month. Now I can't pay the rent.

Riding it again since 2 or 3 weeks, still going strong, still sucking gasoline as if it was growing on trees.


Also, the girl was really hot, the road was really fucked (really stiff corner, tires gum and random oils on asphalit from ton of trucks manoeuvring there due to said corner being so stiff, and fucking old train rails encrusted INTO the road, being close to an old train-station - no escape when you're on a "look at me" manoeuvre).

I've been told, afterhand, that yes this corner is dangerous and I was not the first one to crash here, cars / trucks did too. "Thanks"

Hopefully I can provide you with some nostalgia with this anecdote:

Like I previously mentioned I got in a small crash before, This was maybe in Oct. last year. I got my bike all fixed up after the crash but one thing the mechanic did not replace was the glass cover of the light. The light still worked it just didn't have anything protecting it. I looked around a fair amount a new lens but had no luck so I just kinda gave up. Somehow this was not a problem for like 3 months of riding but finally I was riding one night to meet up with some friends and the bulb just randomly blows while going like 40mph so I just pull the bike over and leave it over night.
The next day I took it to a shop to order a new light. Cost me about $40 and they said about $80 to install. I'm a college student and while I do work I'm not exactly loaded with cash so I said fuck it I'll install it myself. The light that I bought was not the same type as the old one so it took me about two days of getting random nuts and bolts and some stuff for the electrical work but sure enough I eventually got it fully functional and looking great.
I was really proud of myself and finished relatively early (this was yesterday btw) so I called up my friend who has a pretty tricked out mini cooper (sadly I have no friends with bikes lol) to see if he wanted to go on a joyride in a pretty local highway. It was honestly one of the best rides I've been on even though I've rode that road plenty of times. Weather was so perfect, my bike was running great, there were no cars on the road besides us and the highway is sooooo fucking beautiful. It was one of those days were you realize how much you take natures beauty for granted. So anyways I was riding like a champ, I don't have a full track suit (they're too expensive lol) but I was to the best of my ability doing some decent knee down on a private road off the highway. I felt like it was the best riding that I had done yet. No sketchy corners but at the same time I felt like I was pushing myself. I even got my friend to ride my bike for a bit for his first time and he loved it. He wants to get a motorcycle now lol.
It was just such a great day. Got me so pumped on getting the new motorcycle and at the same time made me sad to sell my old one. I was even feeling so good that afterwards when we got some food afterwards I randomly asked out this really cute girl at cafe. She ended up having a boyfriend but it was the effort that counted. XD

Wow, you're really a fucking dipshit, huh?? How insensitive can you be to someone who was probably pretty seriously injured in a crash

Sounds like a great day....I'm not afraid to get back on. I mean shit fucking happens. What else can I really say....Lol....Just I don't know if I wanna drop a few grand into a new bike or just get a new car....Lol....That's what I'm not sure about. I originally got the Motorcycle so I could commute 45 miles to the main campus of my school every day and back....I might see if I can put some pics of my bike up later.

Well I'm guessing that her insurance will cover some new transportation for you quite elegantly?
