so yesterday it was really nice out so after work i decided to go on one of my favorite rides up this highway in the outskirts of RI. this road has a speed limit of between 40 and 45 and is just nice twisties and good staight aways with little traffic threw the woods and lakes. i was going around 40 enjoying the ride. coming the other way was a white volvo with a car load of 18 year old kids heading home. as we were about to cross paths they decided to take a left across my lane to side road. i instantly got on the breaks. both wheels locked up and i proceded to slide tward them. now instead of gunning it to get out of my way the kid paniced and stopped right infront of me. at this point i had a choice of hit him head on or go another way. i decided to lay the bike down as my best bet. i pulled the bike back and started to bring it down 
i was sidways and almost on the ground when the bike just stopped. i went over the side of the and face first into the pavement. my face hit so hard that the first hit ripped the front visor off. the helmet cracked and busted apart but completly saved my head. my gloves were destroyed and actually almost entirly ripped off my right hand. my jacket saved my arms but was also destroyed. outside of afew bumps and bruses im completly fine (even went to work today) all the gear is destroyed and the bike is in very bad shape. when i talked to the kids and asked why they said they "didnt see me" the only two vehicles on the road and "didnt see me" and ontop of that stopped infront of me. if they had kept going across the road i probably would have been alright but now im out a bike and gear. the cops and ambulance came and checked me out. they said my gear saved my life and from what i felt i can completly agree. thank god for my gear i will NEVER go without it even once again. now i have big plans for the bike. its going to be awhile unfortunatly but the kat will be back and better then ever 
. and to anyone out there that thinks there to cool for a helmet when i hit i tried as hard as i could to keep control of my body but my head whipped into the ground so hard there is nothing i could have done to stop it and without a helmet my head would have split open all over the road. oh and if anyone has an extra slip on, helmet, or right foot peg please let me know i dont have enough posts to post in the wanted thread and other then that stuff ive got my own plans lol 
the kat will be back and i will be back on the bike hopfully sooner then later. thanks again guys for everything to this point. ill be back hahahaha
