I am very sorry this happend, i am glad that you are ok. Not everyone would make it alive from an accident like that, let this be a lesson to you for riding around in a coffin with 2 wheels (i call motorcycle coffins with 2 wheels, that's how life threatening they are).

Glad to know that you have survived the crash, b/c your bike did not!!!
I was told by the guy i hit i ran into him like he was standing still and he was doing 70+ so we figured I was doing just over 100. The road we were on is a sports bike haven long open straight aways and with long rolling turns 3 lanes wide we were running the turns at 150 and the straight aways i was maxing my speedo out at 186 so wrecking at 100 was a blessing. We were getting ready to take an exit and go back the other way the 3rd rider we were with couldn t keep up so i guess i turned to look for him before i jumped off on the exit and lost him, the dude in front of me let off the throttle by the time i turned around i guess i was plowing into the back of him

I truly wish you've learned a lesson from this accident. You won’t always be this lucky driving 100 mph plus and not expecting to kill other innocent people on the road.

Yeah something like that, I rode a sports bike to ride, not to look cute, or be cool. When your on a 375lbs bike with 170 hp 100 mph feels like 40 mph in a car.1st gear redlined at around 80 i was pulling wheelies in second at 80 mph and riding them to the rev limiter at 125! The only person i endangered was myself. There is nothing else like it on earth! If i could ride this season i would already have another bike. You aren t a rider until you ve been down in this case i graduated with honors! But hey not everyone is built like me, I
ve never been much on living inside the box or following rules! I m and adrenaline junky, im poppin wheelies in my wheel chair bustin 360s all day!!!

I was like that too before I got canned, I meant married!!! In a way the marriage saved my ***!!!

Before I got married I was riding and driving like I have stolen them, with ZX-7R, CBR-F3, ZX-7RR (modified, chicken out at 178), M3, and SupraTT (550WHP)!!! I almost killed myself several times, but I guessed my grandparents were watching me from above...

Seriously, you got very lucky this time... you need to take it easy from now on, we don't get lucky all the times!!!

consider this as your 2nd life....

ive had the chance to rehabilitate a Lockhart Phillips rider for several months after a freak racing accident...it was a journey...you guys have identical personality traits.

Stay safe....goodluck.

I'm somewhat in the same boat as you. I high sided on turn 6 at Infineon raceway 6 weeks ago and broke my arm, wrist, collar bone and ankle. I don't remember anything either, just exiting the turn and next thing I know I'm laying in the middle of the track with my entire left side numb. I have two nice titanium plates in my arm now. I was in full leathers so no abrasions. I couldn't wait to get back on, but now that is has been 6 weeks with all the pain and all the bills coming in, it might be time for me to hang up the helmet for good. I'm never taking having both hands and legs for granted now thats for sure. Thankfully, my casts are supposed to be off in two days. Glad you're alive bro.

Trust me dude I totally feel you about having my arms and legs in good working condition. On top of everything I box and lift weights, and work construction losing an appendage would be detremental to my life. However there is no feeling like riding though i absolutely love it!
