Default Just got into a accident...

Well I just got hit on the bike going 40 mph, I was side swipped pretty hard on the right side, but I managed to keep the bike up by throwing my body weight towards the side of impact to couter the hit. There is a lil damage to the fairings as far as scratches go but nothing major. Best part is that i didn't fall off or it would of been ugly.

Well the layout of the road is 2 lanes west bound and 3 lanes east bound, I was heading east bound in the middle lane and she was in the outside lane then turned into my lane and hit me.

+ 1 for riding that out. You saved a potentially much worse situation by thinking quick
