Bike Totaled !!!

[wantone]

Was on my way to sturgis on 07/22. 80 miles away from home and some idiot in pick up truck cut me off. I was doing 70 mph on I-64 W, when I went airborne and fell on the asphalt my back first and back of head on the concrete Bamm!! My helmet on the back took all the brunt. I went down like a tumble weed for close to 20-30 yards and got thrown in the median. Luckily only 2 minor scratches on my back and palm. And they are already healing up. That stretch of highway has wire in the middle all the way and some concrete divider, lucky for me where this happend it was a clear median and i rolled onto the grass clean. I have no idea how I not only survived but also have no injuries. I went home and drove my car to louisville where my friends were waiting. Rented the car next day and drove to sturgis. Missed my bike but still had ton of FUN:) When in sturgis I rented 2015 Street Glide for couple days. I was really impressed with that bike. My friend who rides street glide rode the rental and was impressed too. He thought that rentals are tuned to give good impression to potential customers. Who knows. But I loved that bike, but not the heat coming off the bike.

The bike is paid off by my insurance as of today. $19800.00 total and $3000.00 in accessories. I had just put help bars, electronic cruise ctrl on it :(

Wow... at that speed to walk away is really lucky. Sorry to hear about the bike, but it sounds like you've come away relatively unscathed, good to see!
Seeing the bike makes me though.

On a lighter note, you could change user name to "wantanother"?

[JackB]

WOW I'm glad your not only ok but alive. Your are very lucky.

[ChubbyDodds]

Really happy to hear you made it out basically uninjured. I'm sorry about your bike. As everyone says, the bike can be replaced.

[ths61]

Glad to read that you are OK.

Was the guy in the pickup truck sited, or did he just drive off ?

[Willl]

Scary, glad to hear you are generally ok :icon_biggrin:, very lucky indeed

[flat6bagger]

GOD intervened.
end of story.
Glad you made it brother.
Did you keep the Beadrider as a souvenir?:icon_biggrin:

Hug the kids again. Tell everyone how much you love them, including me. Glad you are AOK.

[Jimmytee]

Glad you're ok. A 2015 in your immediate future.

[Greg O]

Amen brother, glad you are ok. Now you can buy brand new Blue 2015 Deluxe.

[hgslayr]

Holy crap dude...glad you were able to walk away with minor injuries..At least the bike can be replaced and you can get a 2015 with cruise control...jk

[baiao]

Glad you survived and did not sustain any head trauma.
Did you have a full face helmet?
I noticed your bike has the ultimate seat and .. what are those black beads?
Hope you can get another F6B and smile again!:clap2:

[53driver]

Glad you are alright mate. Not supposed to have "E" ticket rides off the bike!

Launching at 70, tuck and rolling so well you were damn near unscathed, I have to ask: were you ever a martial arts student? You clearly know how to take a fall!

God bless you and yours. And please give Stro a hug.....

[Ericb445]

Damn man.
I'm glad your OK.

[wjduke]

After my accident, I thanked full gear. Without the helmet, who knows.....glad you're ok and looking t ride again!

[seadog]

After that and to be up and moving is a miracle in itself, Thank the Lord for looking after you, like the pilots say," Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing".

So glad you had good protective gear on and could walk away with minor injuries. I just got my F6b because I totaled out my second Valk.

Bikes don't often get fixed and it doesn't take much to total them. You can always replace them and it's you being ok that counts! :yes:

[flat6bagger]

Those black beads are the Beadrider seat cushion.

Glad you're OK and able to tell us about it! :clap2:

[RickW]

Thankfully you are OK. Most people that hit like that are not quite that lucky, helmets do save your head.

Hopefully you can get back on quickly with another bike. Good luck.

[bobbyf6b]

Good to hear you came out unscathed. Did the driver get sited? What happened afterward?

Thanks for sharing and I thank God he spared you from injury.

Glad your OK and without serious injuries.......someone was definitely watching over you.

[Cool Hand Luke]

I am happy you made it with minor injury. I had a bad wreck years ago and walked away with just the scratches, too. Hopefully you are good to go now.

Now go get another bike!

Thank you. Here is the picture of my helmet.

I am glad you are ok! That is scary though. I hope the truck guy at least stopped to help, and was sited.

[Paul B Blues]

Man that is just awful news. Looking at those pictures of your bike and helmet make me feel sick! Glad to hear you are OK, and still riding. All the very best.

[Fla_rider]

Wow, good to hear your ok. Look at the bright side a new F6B has crusie control!
