Go watch the Cubbies win the series, have a couple beers and think about putting that back up. You need that video so I hope you are not serious about wiping it off the camera. Back it up, name it 'five zero' for your grand kid when he wants a motorbike.
That's the kind of dent I want to leave in someone's door if I'm going down.
Chief say's... you are the man!

Unfortunately, I came back after the vid was deleted.
I am terribly sorry you've had such a difficult experience.
I would encourage you to repost the video and make it public. It could be a help to others and maybe serve to bring some good out of a bad situation.

Ditto. I typically don't watch crash videos, but knowing that it turned out relatively okay for you, I would like to learn from it. Any chance it could be posted again?

Ohhh....no, Sorry to read that this happened to you Drew (geez, I don't even want to say what it is). I hope you heal real fast and that you wake from this nightmare as quickly as it began.
(I missed seeing your video too...maybe that's a good thing?)

I will now see long shadows in front of me as absolute certainty i'm invisible to merging cross traffic. In Chicago streets run east and west from lake Michigan until you are in the boonies. In the early morning heading west and sunset heading east... long shadows. Thanks Drew for the post, every incident has a story and rarely caught on camera so clearly.

Once I've the replacement bike sorted, I will post a permanent public video. Events are still on-going so I am just being careful.

Exactly. I'm sure we all can wait (at least a little while

).
Get to feeling better, that's the main ingredient, what counts towards going forward

Sorry to hear about that. I missed seeing the video but it obviously wasn't any fault of yours. Hope you get things sorted quickly and are back out there soon.

You road your new PCX home from the dealer in the rain

what a man, what a man! I had mine delivered because traffic scares the crap out of me on a first run.
Yep Drew is like... Sergeant Major Plumley, ain't no pussy. Crash like a man and still be standing up. BOOM! five zero, respect it
