I got rear ended
For those of you that dont know, I have an 06GSXR750 thats only a month old.
So we were riding back to Dunkin Donuts in Spring Hill after doing a north run on Sunday and I got hit by one of my buddies. He was trying hit 1fstmaxima's kill switch and didnt notice I was slowing down for a red light. He panic braked, locked up the rear tire, and hit me doing about 45mph (I was going around 40mph). He went down pretty hard and tumbled against the curb, but he ok, just sore. Luckily his bike (06 GSXR1K) was naked cuz he's prepping it for paint so there wasnt any damage other than a rashed exhaust and a curbed wheel. My bike on the other hand has a damaged exhuast (BRAND NEW Akrapovic slip-on!) and the center piece of the tail could be replaced. Its not broken, just scratched.
I'm emailing Akrapovic in a few mins to see how much it will cost to repair it. I need a new carbon fiber sleeve, mid pipe, carbon tip, and carbon hanger.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

Man... as my good g33k friend brand0n w0uld say...
That suxx0rs!
Hey guys... later tonight I have to run into the office in Sabal Park to pickup a power supply. Don't know if anyone is up for a long ride, but I sure would appreciate some company, being dark & scary out @ night and all...
I'll be taking some backroads there & back, with a bit of I75 closer to the office...
I'll be out on the SV since that thing is cheaper on gas than a dollar crack patton hoe on chicken wing night...

I've seen that happen twice at the lot - being in a group takes just as much patience and concentration as riding solo.
Glad to hear everyone is intact. : )
