To all who have replied, thank you so much. I'm just trying to focus on getting stuff done and getting a bike again as soon as possible. I have my life and my health, which is irreplaceable. One of the drivers who stopped to help was so relieved and happy I was ok, because there was a semi behind me when I went down, and he was worried it would hit me.

Fully armored, and out of production Scorpion leathers. I was wearing the pants as overpants, since I'm tiny, but it's all pretty thick leather, and I had armor on my knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, and back.
Boots were Dainese Torque RS Outs, and gloves were Held Phantoms. I'll try to post pictures later of the gear post-crash, when I have a chance. Helmet was untouched.

So when are you picking up the R6?

Hahaha, I was waiting for that. I may just get another little Ninja. EternalNewb--doing it wrong.

Is there anything that you'd have done differently? Sorry. Gotta ask...
Good luck with the insurance company!
Ride on,

No need to apologize. I've been over it again and again, and aside from roll my camera, I can't think of anything. I couldn't slow down more prior to making the lane change, due to a semi behind me, and had ample space ahead since there hadn't been any car in the way when I had initiated my lane change. My insurance company also told me in not so many words that I wasn't at fault, but will legally be held responsible as 100% at fault, since they probably won't be able to prove the cutting off/brake checking. I was already slowing down from 35-40 max, and when you see how little damage was on my gear, or me for that matter, it's pretty apparent I wasn't going very fast. Even the CHP officer seemed to be totally on my side, but again, without any proof, I'm screwed.

Sidenote: The R6 is an amazing bike  As are the N300/R3/RC390 |
Thanks for the input, haha. It all comes down to finances, really, as far as swapping up to a 300/390 goes.
