A soccer mom in a suburban "didn't see me" and tried to pull into a subway parking lot right as I was riding by. The officer cited her but that didn't fix my bike or keep me from getting hauled to the ER in an ambulance. Thank god I wear all my gear all the time, I got out of the situation pretty well overall.
Now for my poor baby. I am hoping it doesn't get totaled but I know how much I have spent on it, and how much parts are for the most part, if you can even find them.
I'm stuck in a recliner now per Dr's orders but before the adrenaline wore off I snapped a few photos. All carbon fiber on the bike is MS production or Ducati Performance. Rear tail piece flew off the bike but other than scratches I didn't see any major damage. Exhaust is smashed in from the rear set, carbon fiber headlight bucket broken, front break lever broke off on my leg, most of the plastic is scuffed up but I didn't see any actual fractures. Not sure if the forks are bent, I hit her at a 90 degree angle at first.
I spent all winter long building this bike and it breaks my heart. It has more aftermarket upgrades than I could list. I kept receipts for whatever good it will do me when I fight the insurance companies.
