Justin,
I bought my motorcycle last Thurs... 2001 Kawasaki Ninja 250R (nothing too exciting)... so yeah, Sunday was beautiful, I take the bike out, and not even 2 blocks from my house at a major intersection in town, this van doesn't see me and sideswipes me. Bike slid out from under me, and I have major road rash all along the left side of my body... knee, stomach, shoulder, elbow, hand.
So, the bike has more scrapes now (I didn't buy it because it looked good, I bought it cause it was cheap lol), and an alignment problem. It's in the shop right now...
So yeah, I will heal eventually and I'll be back out riding once I'm better. But in the meantime, I'm limping like an old man.
