IDK what I did, just lost concentration or something. Was coming of 495, on an off ramp and just took it way too wide. Like my mind must of been elsewhere b/c I wasn’t turning or something, all I know I was like #!@# guardrail, went into the grass starting putting my foot down to hopefully keep it up and BAM, I open my eyes bike is behind me. I must of had like a mini high side

Luckily I didn’t hit the guardrail, there was no other traffic coming and the bike and I landed in the grass by the rail out the way of traffic. Picked the bike up. Front crowling is smashed, exhaust pretty banged up. Somehow managed to scratch every fairing and broke one right off (see pic). Bike is rideable but the steering I think is F up cause when straight up the wheel is cocked slightly to the right. As far as me, I got a lil rash by my wrist and I believe my thumb is broke. Went to the campus health center and they said I cracked it and strained some tendon. Gotta go to another doctor tomorrow.

Im pretty pissed, I know everyone has their 1st crashed but idk where I went wrong. The turn wasn’t that tight I just...idk...my mind wasn’t right. Hopefully you guys got some words of encouragement (been riding like 2 months, about 1k miles). Hopefully my thumb and bike will be healed w/in a month.

O one last thing, Thank God I had all my gear on, boots, motorcycle jeans, helmet and jacket, everything worked real good. You guys think my helmet is still good? I know one hit and your suppose to toss them but it looks like its only a lil scrape.




Fairing totaly ripped off^^
