Well I've had my F3s for about a month and a half to two months now. I have almost 2100 miles that have all been great. After riding for 30 yrs on the rode I just had my first accident. A woman turned right into my path and hit me. She crushed my ankle with her car between my bike. Aside from that I am ok. I feel this would have neen much worse if I was on 2 wheels. I have a long rode ahead of me. I don't know what the shape of my F3s is but I will worry about that at another time.

[Buggy]

Sorry to hear this but glad you are ok enough to be able to tell us. I too was taken out by a improper turning cager. Wishing you a speedy and full-recovery.

[cuznjohn]

best of luck to you, and i hope you heal fast

[ARtraveler]

Glad to hear the outcome was not a total disaster. Hope you and the get healed well.

[CanAmMick]

Wow, you very lucky. We all know it could have been a lot worst. Good luck on your recovery!

[GOZFST]

Bummer, glad you're relatively OK. Don't settle with the insurance co until after you have consulted with some very good orthopedic specialists. I had my right ankle broken in 1970 when a drunk ran a red light and hit me on my bike. My ankle bent the frame and tank. The doctor that worked on me said "you're gonna have trouble with that when you get old. Boy was he right, I had to have my ankle fused about 20 years ago and need a total replacement now. Hurts with every step. I don't say this to bum you out, but rather don't settle for cheap like I did.

[Cruzr Joe]

Bikes can be fixed, us .......... not so much.

Glad to hear that you are safe now.

I am also glad you were able to walk away from this. Don't worry about the spyder the insurance folks will handle that but work on healing and healing well.. all the best.....

[Tango]

[Deanna777]

My best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!!!

[Bob Denman]

Well; you're good enough to report it to us, so that's a start!
Did she turn left in front of you, or did she pull out of a side street, or parked position?
Was it at an intersection?
Left, or right ankle?
Where was your bike taken? A Dealership, or a storage lot?

Sorry... The insurance agent in me got to asking the questions!
If your bike is at a lot: get it to a dealership immediately! They can at least provide a semblance of secure storage for it. If the bike took a serious shot to the middle; it's probably toast...
The other person's insurance company will be calling you. They want your version of what happened.
(There'll be TONS of paperwork over the next several Months)
Give me a holler, if I can help at all!

[Pampurrs]

I hate to hear of such things, but I'm glad you are ok. I hope the cage driver was cited.

[Habib]

[Sam Mac]

I'm glad you survived, even if you didn't exactly "walk away" from the incident. Hope you'll have a speedy recovery.

I'd also be interested in the details. But, Bob, will those details affect how the accident is evaluated?

I would also advise that if the other insurance company calls you to just refer them to your insurance company. Get a copy of the police report and always make sure to tell the story exactly the same.

Don't sign any release of liability until you've completely recovered from any and all medical issues. This may not be until next year.

[spyderCodes]

If you're basically OK then that's all that counts.

[SpyderAnn01]

So sorry to hear about your accident but I'm glad that you are well enough to tell us about it yourself. I hope your recovery is quick.

[Mike,P]

Sounds like you have a great attitude!!! Best of luck for a quick recovery!!😎

[SpyderHands]

Ugh! Sorry to hear about this, but your being able to share about it here is a positive sign.

Glad you're OK!

[Dan McNally]

I'm glad you survived this potentially deadly event. I lost a friend in 2012 when someone turned left in front of him in the middle of the block. "I didn't see the motorcycle" was the driver's defense. He was in a 35 MPH zone, doing the speed limit, when it happened.

[Bob Denman]
