Superhawk down.. AGAIN (graphic pics within)
well my bike got away from me, fingers slipped on the clutch while shifting and went straight up. Broken ankle and some NASTY road rash going about 50 =/ I'll post pics later..
Might be parting out, if anyone needs anything let me know
Things that are broke.
Tail light
handle bar
plastics
crank case
front rim
have yet to see it for my self, that's what I have been told by my father.

How long have you been riding? or how long have you had your driver's license?
VTR was your first motorcycle?
I drove around in cars for 10 years before I got my motorcycle license, not because I couldn't ride on the road; heck, I rode my bicycle everywhere as a bike messenger before I got my driver's license. Just the close calls I've seen on bicycles makes me realize there are more danger on public roads than riding anywhere else.
If you have not learned how to respond to stupid drivers on the road, likely that you would loose control of the bike to avoid accidents.

It's good to try and figure out what went wrong and learn what to do the next time similar situation occurs.
I hope you heal quickly. If you enjoy riding more than crashing; get a smaller (less torquey) bike next and just ride.

Sadly they were just plain denim =/ I did have a alpinestars jacket and a icon helmet, I recommend both if you are looking to buy gear!

Think I'm going to get some riding denim/kevlar for work now. I am embarrassed to admit I skip out on that one when I commute. Boots/gloves/helmet/jacket/state of mind- got all of that. 40mph really isn't that fast...
Glad you're on the road to recovery, hope that ankle heals up! Thanks for posting.

Time to shave those legs and scrub out the gravel in the wounds.
It may sound painful.. and probably will be, but it will make wounds heal faster.
It's why those hardcore cyclists have smooth shaved legs, chics dig it, too.

Going down sucks, but at least you're alive to talk about it. I totaled my F3 two summers ago and bounced my head/helmet off a steel guardrail, actually cracking the the thing in the process! I also had some nasty road rash up both sides of my body (legs, hips, sides, arms and shoulders). If chicks really dig scars, you and I will be SET!
Get well soon, bro and get back on that horse!

Yo bro, glad you made it out "okay." Hey MSF tought me...and based on what you said. 2 finger breaking, 2 finger clutching No, No, No...Use all 4 and un-learn those bad habits. Maybe in a "racing" scenario things are different. But I ride on the streets and it's been tought..."we are our own worst enemy."
