Just to start off, this is my first post on here. I have been lurking for awhile but I just picked up a 05 Midnight Warrior on 01/02/07.
Well I my girlfriend drives me to the Harley dealer in Fort Lauderdale, FL to pick up my warrior. Luckily I decided to bring all my sport bike gear to ride my bike home with! (I also have a 06 Kawai Z1000)
Well she is following behind me in her 2002 Mustang on 95 heading north to West Palm Beach, and I'm just enjoying my new Warrior. I'm in the second to the right most lane, when all of a sudden (this is from my girlfriends account)This large Black dual cab Pick-up truck comes from my left blindside and just takes me out!! I was just cruising at about 75mph then BAM!! The next thing I know I'm on my back looking up at some stranger, asking me if I know what my name is!!
I'm laying in the middle of 95 north and the paramedics are assessing what's wrong with me. There was a million witnesses but no one got the License plate # of the truck. I had no idea what happened to my new bike!? and I had no idea what was wrong with me?
Everyone at the seen couldn't beleive what had happend and couldn't beleive that i was alive! The paramedics just kept telling me that it was a good thing that I was wearing my gear!
The damage to me is: Broken spatula, two cracked ribs, and some very minor road rash. The gear I was wearing: Shoei RF-1000 full face helmet, Textile mesh jacket with CE certified race armor, full fingered leather gloves, jeans, and Doc Martin Boots.
The damage to my bike is only cosmetic/emoticons/emotion-1.gif It went down on it's left side and just needs things like the handle bars, seat, ect replaced! I talked to the insurance adjuster and I asked him if I could replace those parts that needed to be replaced with after market ones and he had no problem with that[/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]
Well I only got to ride the bike for about 20 minutes, I can't wait to ride more! But I have to heal up first myself and I will probably spending alot of time on here the next month or so, until my bones heal, I just wanted to say HELLO and I love the Warrior.
Thanks,
Mike
