So I have been able to swerve, duck and dodge every retard, college student, and hick in a truck since I started riding a couple months ago. I was safe, bought good gear, and didn't speed. ...well only on long straightaways on the freeway a few times.
But seriously did my best to avoid an accident mostly to not look like the noob that I am but also cause I love my ninjette and all of it's highrevving coolness. Long story made kinda short...
I was on my way home from school Wensday night and came up on a deer in the middle of the lane. She came from the left and stopped on the line. I slowed down and she started back to the left then turned last second at me. I swerved right and didn't have enough room so locked the back up to dump speed and tried to ride it out but ended up getting highsided. The bike flipped hard I went airborne and Slid/flipped down into the ditch, breaking my left arm, cutting my right knee up down to the patella in a few places and pulling a lot of muscles and possibly breaking my thumb. I'm seeing Ortho on Monday about pins being put in or a plate and screws. They set it twice but think they can do better. Unfortunately my bike who sadly never got named was slammed harder than Pamela Anderson at a Viagra convention and declared a total loss. Now I have to find a new mistress and wife said it's ok as long I don't ride at night any more. haha
