oops... verslagy down
09/17/11 at 10:20:13

think i dropped a valve going to work yesterday morn.
it lost power and as usual I grabbed for the petcock and waited for it to pick back up. No go, even worse it started to clatter. Ok, over to the side I go, only I can't get thru traffic quick enough. Just as I get to the right lane... oh forgot to say I'm on the superslab in the carpool lane, 4 lanes of fun... she locks up, so here I am flat trackin' the last lane and it's a wonder I didn't drop it right there. So anywho I make it to the emergency lane upright and coming to an abrupt stop when howdy doody a F250 says hello and launches me 20 feet. Out pops 4 guys eyes big as saucers pouring out concern, just what you'd want to be met with while down on the asfault. So here I am still clutching the handlebars and crouching over a smoking mess. I crawl off it and sit on the curb. Hey fella's pick it up will ya? it's leaking gas cause I just filled up and I don't want the hazmat team to declare a disaster.

Hey I'm ok, wrenched shoulder from the truck breakin' my death grip on the handlebars. Musta pancaked on the grill of the truck, there's a little mark on the back of the helmet, which saved me from any back trauma.

The bike on the other hand is a mess.

Well, CRAP! Hate to hear this but Tickled in ways you cant imagine that youre telling us about it.& NOt from a hospital.,

Pullin the clutch is a good idea. I see old riders & sometimes I notice a guy with a couple fingers across the clutch lever, I figure he used to ride dirt bikes. At the first sign of trouble, they pull in, if it locks up, they arent in a Big Slide..

Good job on not getting hurt too much, better the bike take the brunt of an impact than you. If you choose to rebuild that bike, I bet a lot of people on here will be happy to donate their spare parts.

The guys in the F150 that smacked into you when you were in the emergency lane doing an emergency stop -- they carrying enough insurance to pay for the damage they have done to your bike?

Why the heck were they there in the emergency lane, anyway?

Man, I am glad you are not hurt very much -- take it easy and do get checked out by the Dr. as any non-obvious or concealed injury needs to be documented as soon as possible to cut down on the massive BS from the Insurance Companies.

Dude just about got splatted like a bug on a windshield, on an LA freeway and the report is "oops! .. versy's down." I'd a freaked out. The word verslagen should be coined as "Adj. Manly and serene. Absolute opposite of a drama queen."

A pickup tried to take him out too. They had to get a tow truck to lift the pickup off of the bike. Have no idea how Serowbot didn't end up under the pickup with the bike. I guess it is a little of that "any crash that you can walk away from is a good landing."
