FZ6 Fanatic
Hi Fellow Riders,
I has been a long time since I posted on the forum. Been busy with life, got married and you know how that goes.
But unfortunately I went for a nice ride yesterday and it turned out to be not so nice. Filled up some air in the tires and went out for a ride. Two miles away from my house some AHOLE decided to switch lanes in a SUV on the turn as I was going in the right lane. I already initiated my lead and with out notice I see the front of the SUV to my left and had to make a decision. While am thinking what to do Just felt my rear slip a bit and I am on the ground, sliding and praying that I will be OK. I see my beautiful FZ6 slide in front of me, hits a curb and stins around couple of times. And SUV just kept on going without stopping.
I can't stress enough that I was very lucky but what saved my skin was my gear. I always ride full gear no matter hot cold or hot it is cause you never know. And it paid off. Got a bruse on my hip from hitting the ground and thats it by gear suffered substantial damage all over. And this crash happend only going 26 miles an hour. Thank god for the gear, and my ability to ride as safe as possible. So fellow rides please wear gear all the time.
Now I have to go thru insurance claim and try to see what is going to happen. I have full coverage. Has anyone went thru the similar situation and what can I expect from this. Cops took the accident report, and I called insurance today. Will I get money for my bike, how can I handle this. Any help would be appreciative.
Thanks.
