How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 05-17-2010
So on my way to work this morning (on Stuart Mill Road in Oakton), Bambi and her friend jumped over a fence and landed about 10 feet infront of me. One was in my lane, one was on the the double yellows. Needless to say i hit the one in my lane. I kept on the throttle, kept the bike straight, and threw Bambi to the side of the road. I am fine... the bike needs a couple parts... and i never hit the ground.
is this a wreck?
ps- anyone got 99-02 R6 parts laying around? i didnt think so.

i feel like it's an accident, but very minor. thankfully this was all that happened with a deer encounter while on your moto
hock:good job keeping it on two wheels

im freaking impressed you stayed on the bike despite hitting a freaking deer. Most people dont even make it in a car wihtout swerving off road.

also quite impressed that you kept it upright. I prob wouldn't bother reporting it to insurance, unless it's some serious damage and you're not worried about premiums going up. Sounds more like a flesh wound than anything...

PM me with a list of what parts you need.

Did you get an accident report to claim for insurance? You are always supposed to call it in after you hit a deer. Also, did you keep the deer - the bike probably tenderized it quite a bit, and jerky is tasty. :twisted:
Sorry to hear it though, really glad you are OK - it's amazing you stayed on the bike. :bow:

I"m more pissed at the parts i have to replace... and that fact that i've been using it as my main form of transportation.
i'll miss my $18/week for gas and HOV ride every day... hopefully steve has some of the parts, because it will be at least a week with shipping that i'll be trapped in a car!
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 05-17-2010
i just have liability on the bike... Headlights are going for about $250, fairing stay is $80, clip ons and levers are cheap... at least i didnt break the $50 light bulbs in the headlights
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Mike - 05-17-2010
oof. sorry to hear, but +1 to impressed you stayed up considering the conditions today. bike outside right now?
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 05-17-2010

"Accident: A collision involving an automobile and anything that causes damage to the automobile"
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Mike - 05-17-2010
so what's the reason for asking the question if you only have liability? just curious if you WOULD have been covered if you had accident? yes.
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 05-17-2010
since i didnt hit the ground, i chalk it up to something like dropping the bike... Sylvia on the other hand... said i had "another" wreck.

I don't really understand the options, unless we're debating the semantics of it.
IMO, all those options place fault on you and that's not really what happened.

It's all about asking the right questions...
Did Bambi have a fender?
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 05-18-2010
Ironically, last night a guy said he would be interested in swapping semi straight up... my R6 reapaired in "track bike" condition for a 2000 Honda 929. we are going to tire kick over the next couple of days... I'll let oyu know what happens
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Mike - 06-02-2010
Kaan, your bike looks like shit.
Re: How do you classify this incident? - Kaan - 06-02-2010
looks like shit... but it works... how is your bike running these days?
the more it looks like shit... the less people want to steal it.
