Hello, everyone, I want to share my recent crash story. I was riding in the Bay area for the last 4 years, commuting almost every day, plus occasional weekend trips.
It was Tuesday 4 pm, I was on my way home on my 600 miles FJ-09.
Traffic was slow, so I was lane splitting. My speed was around 35 mph, when big black Chevy Tahoe jump from the right lane into left. I hit the brakes...
I avoided all cars.... but despite ABS, I flew over my handlebars...
Tahoe changed lane without turning signals and from the far right side of its lane. It didn't see me, it didn't stop even after I was on the ground.
As damages, I fractured 2 bones in my forearm and now have 2 plates in it
Based on my helmet, I landed on side of my head. I was wearing an air-bag vest, and thank to that thing, I don't have any neck injuries.
I would say this is nothing new, standard story. But I just want to remind people, please be careful.
I always cover my brakes with 2 fingers while lane splitting. My motorcycle has abs and tc features. Did not matter, front wheel got locked
