As I slid about 45 feet at 30 miles per hour into the guardrail, I knew it was going to be a tow truck out of there. After the slide, I got up, dusted myself off, picked up the bike and it started. The crash bars were seriously scraped up, but they didn&#8217;t move. The formerly round tubes were flat on the outside, but still whole without any holes in the construction. They stayed in place like the crash never happened. How did a 600-pound bike slide sideways for 45 feet and this was all the damage? Had the peg mount not been bent to the point of breaking, I&#8217;d still be riding my Triple Black GSA today.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope to do more of these over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BMWMOA.org: Last year, I had a crash on pavement that totaled my bike simply because the slide into&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2019-04-25T14:25:21Z","apple_news_api_id":"6bc1c800-96c9-4b63-8a0e-dd84145d03dd","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2019-04-25T14:25:23Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Aa8HIAJbJS2OKDt2EFF0D3Q","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","category-my-bike","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-24S","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7891,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/12\/26\/my-bike-my-insurance-experience-with-a-totaled-write-off-r1200gs\/","url_meta":{"origin":7990,"position":0},"title":"My Bike: My Insurance Experience with a Totaled (Write-Off) R1200GS","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"December 26, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Housekeeping: This post is going to be missing some specific financial figures and mostly work in round numbers adjusted to the nearest hundred dollars.
