ATGATT. Be prepared for what you won't expect.

And since you were speeding why didn't you just roll off the throttle? You would have slowed down quick enough and not had your brake light on... unless of course the speed limit was slow like 35, 45 or something.

Good to see that the bike isn't totally destroyed. Plastic repair and paint can be done for a fraction of the cost of an OEM side fairing. All the little bits can be replaced for cheap from Ebay of course.

Next time be safer out there. We like the stories of gear holding up (or breaking down) better than the damn fool mistakes we all know how to prevent.

Well hindsight is 20/20 and the speeding ticket would have been cheaper and a lot less painful. Glad you are OK. And remember chicks dig scars.

yeah the speed limit was 30mph....like I said the funny thing about it is the cop said even if i would of zoomed by him he would of just thrown me a peace sign and kept doing what he was doing.....only if I had known! Apparently the police where I live have a "no chase" deal with motorcycles.
