It was raining out, but not hard, enough to make the roads wet. Well I was turing left onto a side street and was in the turning lane. I had my signal light on, even my high beam. I start to slow down, just start to lean the bike into the turn and she starts to go. She get half way out into the lane and slams on the brakes, by this time I have tried to turn away and just hit the front brake just enough on the wet pavement to cause the front end to wash out. Needless to say me and my bike go spining and sliding down the turning lane thank god. I wasnt going that fast at all so that help too, but being wet I slide a little ways. I had on most of my gear. I had on my jacket w/ liner, jeans w/ a pair of sweat pants under them, boots, gloves and my helmet. I also had on all my rain gear as well, with my book bag on my back. I have no road rash whats so ever, just a sore shoulder and a pretty good bruise on my left calf. The bike has some minor damage. The bottom plastic cracked at the screw, there is some pretty good road rash on the side plastic and just a tiny scratch on the front plastic just under the signal light that should buff out. just barly touched the handlebar so there not scratch at all. I think its the clutch cover on the left side? Correct me if I'm wrong but thats scratched pretty good. I will post pictures of the bike once I ride it back home the 112 miles. I've road it the 15 miles after it happened w/ out a prob. but I'm hoping it will make it back to my house ok so i can take a better look at it. This just gives me a reason to get Black bottom plastic for it w/ the Red Honda decal on it. All silver w/ black bottom I think might look good. Well stay tune for all the pictures.
