stupid kid on a crotch rocket who had never rode before and didn't take classes.
lasted a month.
the bike was a 2002 r6 race ready track bike converted back fro street use. i pulled over to zip up my jacket, left the kickstand down and took off. this is where the track bike part and no lessons experience played important part. the saftey switch was disconnected which allowed me to ride off let alone start the bike with kickstand down.
i clicked into 2nd, doinng about 55 and started to lean for a nice left curve in the back roads. kickstand caught pavement. i stood the bike up, tried to kick it with my heel. looked at the gaurd rail and thought "im not hitting that". target fixation. average time to correct a mistake is 2seconds max. if i would have taken classes i would have stopped instead of try to ride and fix my mistake. but no...i hit the gaurd rail wearing high top sneakers and jeans and my mc jacket and wieght ligting gloves. leg went under. sliced the skin to the bone. tore gloves off and dislocated the shoulder.
33 staples to get the new flap of meet to close back to my leg.i had severed my tendon in my ankle. they f"ixed" it, still only have 75-80% movement. no limp though. anyway, got infected, got skin graft, didn't take. ended up getting a muscle graft. sucked.
anyway. now i am an avid advocate of ATGATT. every squid i see i preach too. i have convinced several people to hang their keys up before riding until they get proper gear, not just building their gear up. that to me is worth it. if i can keep others from making my same mistakes and turning into a statistic and permanently changing their lives then that is the reason i am alive and walking today. no i am not religous nor believe in god, but damn, something had my back that day and i wake up every morning thankful for the life i continue to live, and can look down and see how close i came to ending it.

Holy crap man. Glad you're still with us.
We share the same name, and I had a 2003 R6 but luckily my only "crash" wasn't anywhere near as bad as yours a few months ago. I had been riding bikes for 3 years before the one and only crash that totaled my bike.
I got double what I bought the bike for thanks to not settling for what the idiot driver's insurance company wanted to give me at first, but they were a great company to deal with. I said, that's not really what I want since I have a low mile bike with brand new tires and maintenance just done to it. The claims specialist said, "Ok, could you find me some ads on comparable bikes? I'll see what I can get approved." Was painless. I was leaving an apartment complex and a car came in quickly into the exit only side and I didn't want to hope they'd stop in time. I thought if I make contact with that car... it won't be pretty. Fuck this. So I got hard on my brakes, they locked up on the slick surface and started to endo so I jumped off to the side instead of at the car. Bike came withing a foot of the car, and I landed off to the side about the same distance.
I was a little shooken up and thank god I was wearing jacket/gloves/helmet. My head didn't hit the surface that hard but if I wasn't wearing a helmet it would have been much worse. I pretty much jumped up seconds after laying on the ground realizing I'm ok and got in the womans face. Felt a smidge bad right after that I got in her face but my adrenaline was flowing and she was an idiot. I also will be even more geared up when I get another bike.

I don't see how gear would have helped out much in that situation; classes and riding experience for sure though. Congrats for making it out ok.
Some guy flying down the central expressway (75) here slammed into the back of an ambulance and died on impact.
Huge group of guys shut down (blocked off traffic) the highway to spray paint RIP on the highway!!! as well as having a "DFW Memorial Day Street Stunt Session"
two of them have been arrested now and charged with felonies.
