Crash Report - 2012 S ZF6
« on: October 20, 2015, 08:03:07 PM »

Bad news -- a car made a left turn right in front of me, I was going about 30 mph, and I hit their right rear fender and went flying over the trunk.   :o

I am (extremely luckily) mostly OK (hand and wrist sprains, I think from being torn from my grip on the handlebars, and some shoulder pain where I probably hit the pavement).

But I am not sure what will become of my beloved Zero -- the front forks were bent so that the front wheel was locked against the frame.  We'll see, maybe it is time to upgrade to a newer model, or see if I can still get the trade in deal for a 2014 (I cant believe I am saying this after almost dying on my bike yesterday  . . .)

Any crash you can walk away from is a good'un.

Glad you are mostly ok.

Yikes!   Good news you have just minor injuries.   That event (car turning in front of you) is my worst fear.

That sucks, at leat you got only minor injuries. I wonder if you can still use the 3,5k trade in?
