another one down - Chris - 02-16-2006
many of you know my old roommate Sameer. he caught some gravel around a turn last night and was thrown off his brand new CBR 600RR. hes ok, but both ankles are sprained and he thinks his wrist is broken... the bike didn't fare well either. just thought I'd share and wish him the best recovery. stay safe out there!

Shitlox
Hope his recovery doesn't take too long!

I debated taking the new bike out but the roads are covered in so much crap it just wasnt worth it.
- ScottyB - 02-17-2006

i think baggio can explain further since he actually rode it back to his apartment that night, but i think it's substantial
i met up at the ER with him that night. I know he's at home right now relaxing, but he's not feeling too well.
I hope for a quick recovery time for him. If any of you know him he lost most of his feeling to his left forearm to his hand from a prior car accident, but he can actually feel some of the pain from his wrist from this.

Where was this turn?
I've been riding the past few days around town at it doesn't seem too bad. Theres some salt residue but that doesn't seem enough to really cause an accident unless you're knee-dragging.
Hope he feels better though.

He went down in front of rockbottom. I think it was right at the entrance to the garage.
The damage to the bike is pretty bad. Every plastic on the left side is broken or scrached. From what i can tell i figure we was making a sharp right hand turn and hit some gravel. the rear tire slid. then got traction again and high sided him over to the left.
The bike was ok for the ride back to his house ( I took it for him.) It felt solid still. foot peg and shifter were gone. that made it a bit tricky.

in front of rock bottom? shit, i went by there like 10 times around 7pm and then one final time around 10... what time did it happen?

Man, this whole falling off of bikes thing is getting to be an epidimic. Too bad I'm addicted to riding; it's worse than when I was hooked on crack.
- mrbaggio - 02-20-2006
about 8ish Wed

I hope the recovery is speedy!
If you own a bike you will go down. At that point to decide if you get back on or retire. Down in the woodbridge area... i wouldnt ride until we get a nice heavy rain, there is a ton of salt and sand down still.

It's Sameer. I don't know why JayRay would be stupid enough to save his password on my computer - but whatever.
So i am almost healed. Still got a good bit of swelling around one ankle, and my wrist still hurts bad, but whatever. Jay and I have been working on my bike for a couple weeks now and the only thing that needs to be fixed now is the left mid-fairing and a scratch on the tank. Other than that, its good to go.
We changed the Tail section on the bike a couple nights ago, it was hard as shit, but we got it. I have the old tail hanging up on my wall now (of course its all scratched and cracked up).
Thanks for all the support and get-well-soons from you guys. I'll be out on the road in no time.
