R1 go bye bye....hellloooooo G *pixs* (56k Z_Z )

Happened almost 2 months ago. Lady on a cell phone ran a red , nuff said . Luckily, I'm a relatively cautious rider and was going average speed and saw it coming, layed her down, and ended up under her wheel well. Damage was mostly cosmetic but the frame cracked in several spots so it might but a bye bye R1. This incident led me to pick up the G I've been wanting









The new whip

dang, i guess you hung on for the ride. hopefully, none of that will affect you permanently. that's the thing about bikes...when you don't have one, you want one that much more. what's the next bike?
