Just a little banged up

Was making a left turn on my motorcycle, just after pulling out from a red light, and something experienced catastrophic failure in the front end.  According to the guy behind me, whom he and another gentleman graciously stopped to help get my 900 pound motorcycle off of me, I was making the turn, suddenly I wasn't turning, then the bike and I were going everywhere.

I'm alright, just some road rash and a few bruises.  The only thing I'm worried about is a pain in my foot, but it's the one on the upper side of the fall, so it's probably just a good bruise that'll show up in the morning, maybe something out of place that I'll suddenly feel a pop that will make my piss myself and fall over and will be okay afterward

Just really sucks, I spent too much money as it is, now I'm (hopefully) going to have to fix a bike

It sucks about the bike, but I'm glad you weren't hurt any worse than you were. And here's hoping the pain in your foot is just a bruise! Though I think you'd probably know by now if it were fractured just because I don't think you could stand on it. So fingers crossed, and I hope the bike won't cost too much to fix, either.

Yeah, that's what I told the paramedics.  They were amazed enough that I was actually standing and holding my bike, apparently it looked pretty bad to the lady that called 911 and they and the police were expecting to see me in pieces.

Also, shout out to her, and I hope she receives thrice the blessings she hopes her prayers will bring me!

I was (literally) a mile and a half away from home after a 100 mile ride along both twisty and high speed roads, so yes, I'm pretty sure Mom's prayers for me are still working!

My cousin just got in a Motorcycle accident and sliced his face up. Some asshole cop tried to tailgate him thats why he crashed. He went to the hospital and is doing fine as for charges and/or arrests there are none... At least for now

That sucks!  I'm glad I had a witness that ssid the way the bike reacted, it had to be a mechanical issue.  With things like that, police around here are going to do as little paperwork as possible, so when I refused ambulance service, they just wrote out a "non-reportable accident" catd.

And I'm really glad I fell at the angle I did, my helmet took the brunt of the head shot

That sucks, but at least you weren't seriously injured.
Good thing you were wearing a helmet, I lose a piece of brain in 1997 for not wearing one.

What happened to the bike?

Just went and picked it up from the tow company this morning, and it's totaled.  I'm guessing something in the neck failed, because it's really loose, and that causes the lower fork bridge to fail, or the lower bridge got broken in the crash, because the frame is bent also.

I go without a helmet sometimes when I'm riding in a group, but I always wear it when riding alone
