Default Bike Wrecks - photos and stories

Hey I wanted to start a topic where people posted pics of there wrecked bikes and. Ill start with a pic of my first bike, a cb550 So anyways the story behind it is im goin to school in the morning, gettin on the 125, and some bitch blows a red doin at least 45, dont brake or swerve or anything, i lay my bike down just feet of hitting her, and she just keeps going. Anyways, somehow it caught on fire with my leg stuck under it, im still in the middle of the intersection, and so I freaked out and threw my bike off. The bike blew up and shot my front fork spring at me and barely missed taking my head off. But I was wearing all my safety gear and so I didnt get to badly banged up. Anyways, heres the pics

I'll dig up pictures, but they don't look nearly as bad as it really was.

Had an old man in a station wagon that left a stop sign to cross a road with no stop sign (which I was on) and I t-boned him. Limped away with a spraigned ankle and $7600 damage to a $5600 Kawasaki (01) zr7. The forks looked like a cork screw of a roller coaster. Bent front rim, busted head light, broken console, bent handlebars, bent frame, busted rear plastics (only has a plastic tail) and I think the rear rim was bent too. I did a 12 o'clock stoppie upon impact and the bike fortunately didn't have enough momentum to go over and came back down, right side up. Think the shock even blew, because it came down -hard-
