Well, my bike may be officially totalled. I crashed it last week hitting some gravel while leaning into a turn going about 40. I got some nice road rash on my left arm and knee, and some other minor cuts and scrapes.
I'm waiting for the insurance company to tell me whether or not they will declare it totalled or not. Honestly, it wouldn't really bother me that much if they did.
The experience was pretty scary and I'm not sure if I'm willing to get back on. It's only been a week, but I think I need to do some major re-thinking about this whole riding thing. If I ever do decide to get another bike, I will definitely make sure that I wear proper gear from head to toe (while I had a helmet on, I did not have on my jacket or proper pants - I was wearing jeans) That is the reason why I have the injuries that I do.
Anyway ladies...be safe..and always remember to wear proper gear. I wish I had.
