I was going down a busy road today, and as I was passing a bar a drunk driver pulls in front of the jeep in front of me who slams on there brakes followed by me slamming on my brakes causing my front fairing to smash into the rear bumper and spin around and throwing me over the handlebars. in the end the drunk driver drove off but the blame wasn't put on me thankfully. my front fairing broke in half and the frame around the headlight bent up into the handlebars, but other than that the damage on me and the bike were minimal. it just sucks because i just spent 9 months repainting the bike.

Wow, that's terrible man, glad you're good and the bike is repairable... The new paint? Ahhh, you didn't realy like that color anyway!
