Hey KR,
Got in an accident today. Unlike my first accident this one really messed up the bike. I was trying to merge into another lane where there was slowing traffic and it the cars all stopped, I tried to stop fast and locked up the front and rear and going down. I slide into the side of his car and my bike hit the curb right into the gutter, which I got some dark comedy out of because I was leaking engine oil so I was like great at least the oil isn't out in the road and a hazard. Physically I am fine, my knee hurts a little bit, but the EMT gave me the option of going to the hospital or not and I was standing and feeling alright, if I do notice that I am hurting I will go to the hospital though. Anyways so this is pretty much conceivably my fault as I failed to maintain speed and attempted an aggressive merge. Any advice yall can give for insurance and getting me back and going, the bike will most likely be written as a total loss and it most likely could be repaired, but if I am honest I don't have the mechanical knowledge/skill, money, time, or the will to try to repair it. Thanks.
