Well the title says it all. I don't even remember the crash or the events right before or after it. All I remember is waking up in the hospital in recovery after getting a pin and stitches put in my left hand.
I was taking by ambulance from the scene of the crash to the closest freeway where I was then transferred to a helicopter and lifted to Atlanta Medical Center. This happened Sunday on my way to work around 1:35pm EST and was release last night around 10pm. I hope to get the bike tomorrow. Didn't get her today as it rained pretty heavy in GA today. Other than my left hand and some rash on my lower left back, I'm doing OK. My body is soar primarily in the back with little pain around my hand. I was wearing a full leather ICON jacket and gloves, corduroy jeans, Icon high heel riding boots, and a full faced ICON Tyranny helmet.
Not really looking for grief or get well soons but simply wanting to update everyone on my status and seek some helpful tips on how to deal with the painful moments away from my beloved FZ6. I put a lot of time into that bike purchasing it brand new in 2007 from Riverside, California and then relocating myself and the bike to Georgia in February 2008. Took it to Road Atlanta couple times for some track days. I've commuted back and forth to and from work (70+ round trip) countless times throughout the year rain or shine. Went from one extreme of all the hard Givi luggage bags and the CalSci huge wind shield to the stealth bomber look of the StreetFight. Even broke 11,000 miles just last week. All these are first for me as I only started riding in Spring 2007.
So please pardon me as I'm a bit frazzled about the crash yes but also the possibility of losing my motorcycle.
Thanks for listening,
Jeremy
