Default RIDER DOWN.... ME

I hate reading these posts, I damn sure don't like writing one.

I crashed my ZRX this past Monday. Don't remember anything. Just remember leaving work. I crashed about 6 miles from work. Next thing I know I'm talking to a woman looking down at me saying I crashed. Scary huh.

Police report says I turned right heading east, hit an oil slick, and lost control. I landed on my left side. The best I can figure out is while leaned right I hit the oil and slid, rear wheel then caught and I hi sided and threw me off the left side. Report says I was doing about 30mph.

I have a separated left shoulder, slight concussion, bruised left hip, banged up left knee, and slight sprained right wrist.

The tow guy said D.O.T. had a 100 foot section coned off where I crashed from where some truck was leaking a lot of oil. They were pouring sand all over to dry it up. I didn't see it untill it was too late I guess.

Bike is not too banged up. I can fix it.

I was wearing my gear. Please wear yours. 30mph get off WITH a helmet and still had a concussion. Imagine what would've been without one. I didn't slide much. Jacket shoulder is scuffed a little. EMT's had to cut off me though. It was my favorite.


Bottom line is always gear up no matter how far you are riding.

OMG! I'm so glad to hear that you are relatively okay Kevin. I hope you heal up soon and are able to get the ZRX going again. Take it easy for a bit, I know you'll be back on two soon!
