So, I flew off my bike today EDIT: PICS Page 1

This morning sucked!!!!!!

PICS BELOW

I highsided making a left at an intersection. I leaned in a little too much in uneven road and I tried to bring the bike back up too fast and boom!

Here's what it kind of looked like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzsScCnW9AA

Damage done to right frame slider, right mirror shattered, front fairing cracked, right fairing, and I have yet to get a good check on it. There may be some more damage. I was wearing full gear. Had the suit on, boots, gloves, helmet, and my backpack. I was coming home from school. My backpack sure did save my suit from being rashed though. My backpack took a beating.

No major injuries. I only have a big contusion on my right elbow. This sucks...it's going to cost me so much money that I don't have to fix it. I guess I'll make something work. Maybe I should just get those fairings from Hong Kong...haha.

ehh....watch the road people and ride safe. Gear up!!

Pics up later if I can get a chance to take it.

EDIT W/ PICS:

eeww...sucks man... glad to hear you were wearing all the right gear my friend.

Good luck getting the bike up and running soon.

Awwwww shit!  Hate to here it, bro. 

That truely sucks dude! Hope you get it sorted. I'm def getting fully comp insurance now.. I have life cover :-D
 

sucks man..is she still rideable??

Yeah, she's still rideable. After I flew off my bike and rolled around, I jumped right back up and ran to her. I picked her up and rolled her to safety. I looked at the damages and I cried on the inside. Then I started her back up and rode home slowly. My pride and confidence is taking a beating. 

Shitty.  Glad you suited up and you're doing good.

at least you can still ride it. if you need new plastics this place is about 500 bucks for everything. they have all the factory colors/schemes... everyting. you can sell what ever peices you dont need by themselves and prob fix yur bike for free.

sorry to hear about what happened.  got to love proper gear

aww fetch...and it was going so well, man I feel for you

Ahh Damn! .. sorry to hear this! ..Glad you were able to ride her home. I keep noticing a trend to these crash threads with people riding away unhurt....GEAR!! .. Congrats on wearing it.

What place??

Yea..what place? Mind elaborating? There are some fairings i wouldnt mind replacing on my bike

...in Hong Kong! Duh! 

nawwww....

Stupid question here-ive seen em a thousand times, but what exactly causes a highside wreck?  I understand lowsiding a bike.  Ive watched a ton of videos but cant seem to make the connection in my mind as to what happens when someone highsides their bike, I mean what are the physics involved?

Well in that video it looked like he hammered on the throttle the rear tire lost traction skid and then all of a sudden stuck to the ground. With the front and rear tire out of line both trying to go two seperate directions and WHAMMY!!!!

Glad your ok dude.

See ppl gear makes the difference between a stay in the hospital (or worse) or walking away. GEAR UP!!!

snowboarding-thanks homeboy, apreciate it...

Glad your alright man. Bike can always get fixed but the body, sometimes not so much.

dang FFCBRf4i, sorry to hear but kudos on the gear .. my biggest fear is those Progressive insurance gremlins coming out of nowhere to take me down .. glad they only got your bike and didn't get you.

420, in addition to what sb said, most common cause (there are others) is when locking the rear brake and letting go mid slid causing quick traction regain and bucking you off toward the moon.

Glad your ok man, as long as your in one piece the bike will take care of its self eventually.

Glad your ok man and sorry about the bike.  I had a deam last night that I crashed my bike, but I jumped off into the grass and was fine, but my sweet F4 was rashed up.  I woke up mad LOL! 
 
I have put 1K miles on my bike this spring and sometimes I wounder why I ride with all that can go wrong.  I guess it's the fact that I love to ride so much I take the risk like we all do.

atleast you were actually riding... this guy cracks me up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpoe7Fp9eO4&feature=related

That totally sucks balls man. I haven't high-sided before, did it hurt or was it like low siding, just on the opposite side of the bike?
