Looks like my riding season is over as of yesterday, I got cut off & bounced around like a pinball between 2 cars, I there was no time to avoid the the impact....well shit happens but I walked away with a small scratch on the back of my left leg, the bike didn't get so lucky...but at least this way I will rebuild with newer parts & a slightly different look, once it is finished I will unveil the new ride!
Here is the aftermath...thankfully it is only cosmetic!
Here is what happened...the car in front of me slammed on his brakes because there was a kid crossing at a crosswalk...we were doing about 40km & I was just over a car length away & there was a car to my left...the car I front of me managed to stop in time and not hit the kid, my brakes were locked & I was sliding trying to avoid the impact...but failed on that, my right mirror broke off while taking out the cars tail light, now the other car to my left kept going and also hit the crossing kid and stopped, after I bounced off the first car I wend straight away into the left car...that's where the most damage on the front fairing took....Ambulance, fire trucks & the cops showed up, the kid that got struck bounced off the windshield and land in front of me when I seen that I let go of the bike I put my body between the bike & kid...he walked away with a small bruise on his elbow...luck for him!
Here is the car that hit the kid...then I hit it...
Now when the dust settled...I ended up getting a careless driving charge, the Asian lady that struck the kid was let off! As you can see the rear tire of the car is on the cross walk where the pedestrian was crossing...I will go to court & fight this...this was total bullshit & not my fault at all!
Sorry to hear the shitty news sinz. I know it's hard to see the bright side but atleast you're in one piece.
I'd fight that ticket for sure, and would hire a paralegal to do it. Check out the guys at Hwy Law on Keele street. They've been saving my ass for a good 15 years +....
Just finished talking to Aviva today, they will be sending an adjuster up to the shop where the bike is currently...then it will be new parts time...some good news!
Ken at Gator looked at it thoroughly and it's only cosmetic so that's a relief!
You should see how some of the race bikes look after a crash and how they look back on the track. Don't need a mechanic to tell you it's mostly cosmetic. Keep riding, glad you're good otherwise.
