So there I was, making a left turn at a (green) light in Denver on my two-month old '06 TS, "T" intersection, no oncoming traffic, checked to make sure traffic was stopped at the light. It was, lanes stopped on both sides. I pull out in the intersection, WHAM! White Ford Explorer attacks my left leg. Passed the stopped cars in the other lanes.
The damage: Speedmaster totaled, both ankles broken (5 day hospital stay,) no walking for 2-3 months!! I am PISSED, mostly about the bike because I don't have it anymore. Just got my D&D's a few weeks ago and they sounded oh so nice!! Driver who ran the light had no insurance, and NO LICENSE!
Guess it coulda been worse, wasn't wearing a helmet, barely a scratch above my knees, save a couple of cigarette-pack sized patches of road rash. I just want to be riding RIGHT NOW!! I was having SO much fun on my first bike. Pretty embarrasing, buy my first bike and 2 months later in a wheelchair. Wasn't my fault, but I guess few motorcycle accidnents are. Oh well, just gotta wait til spring. I wanted a black one anyway!!
