I spent a year and countless $$$ getting my R1 back into street mode. Rode it every day for a little over a week, then disaster. Riding home from work in rush hour traffic on the 101, I came up on some huge pieces of sheet plastic floating all around me. I'm dodging them successfully when one floating down low suddenly shoots up into my face - totally covering my helmet. I couldn't see anything. I'm cruising at 65 mph in the fast lane with no shoulder on my left and cars everywhere. I was on the 101 at the Shoup exit where the freeway veers left. While trying to scrub-off speed, my bike went straight and didn't follow the freeway's curve. I drifted slightly into the next lane and got rearended by a Ford Ranger pickup. I first hit the front of the hood, then fell forward to the left. My bike got stuck under the left, front wheel of the truck. That and the driver slamming on the brakes saved my ass because I was under the front of the truck (between my beloved R1 and the trucks wheels) sliding down the road. I got pretty messed up as you can imagine. Sold the R1 to a friend to be parted out. Very sad. I loved that bike. Still got the big Gixxer for the track. No more street riding for me. | |
