Bought my 1986 K75C new and loved her for 29 years and 147,000 miles, but Saturday I rode off a mountain road into deep gravel @ about 45 MPH and crashed. Started riding in 1962 and this was my first accident in maybe 380,000 miles. I was knocked unconscious and suffered a subarachnoid brain bleed, shattered scapula, two shattered ribs and a collapsed lung.
I remember nothing of the wreck but I have not a scratch on me, so I figure I went vertical off the bike at rather low speed.
Wreck and the wrecker recovery guy damaged every bit of bodywork on the bike..I did have it insured for $4,000.00 so I will take that and ride my 2011 R1200R from now on.
Ride safe guys!!
