V-Max Vs. 18 wheeler

This was my 07 V-Max 1200 that I had hit an 18 wheeler pretty much head on at about 45mph. My bike was totaled. I lost a leg and had a broken pelvis and wrist and missing toe, I was pretty messed up but doing alright now. I actually ended up breaking his rear axle and bent his frame.

When I saw the description I thought it was going to be an onboard video of overtaking a truck.

How wrong could I be. Hope you recovered ok and that you did the right thing and got back in the saddle?

Safe riding.

I hear a smart bird in the background..i know you had fun, i hit an 18 wheeler myself on a 250 rebel at 40,,broke 5 ribs...Jesus helped me recover and back on bikes again with a little more wisdom,,it was trucks fault...glad you made it thru it..give thanks and praise God for another day and he will bless what days you have left...some get bitter about stuff and others wake up and come alive and wisely use the time they have left...God bless you and your family and your bird if that was a bird.

this poor guy has lost his ride and a couple of bits of his body and u put comments like this u prick. u aint got a clue wat bike he had b4, and he was doin 45mph, so could happen to anyone. as a biker/ vmax owner myself , i think we all know the dangers of riding a bike, i think u should keep ur snotty fuckin comments to urself. talk about rubbing salt in the wounds, there is a lesson here...... DICKHEAD.

Very sorry about the leg. As a Vmax rider with 35 years of dirt and street riding I got to say you probably were not ready to ride a rocket like a Vmax. Rear ending any vehicle is the fault of the rider. Likely before your Vmax, you had something tame like a Vulcan, for instance? To often people buy machines they just don't have the skill or experience to ride. -goes for any motorized vehicle. I sport a few pins and plates but never anything due to negligence on my part. There is a lesson here.

Looks like the helmet saved your life! Hope you're doing O.K.

I stopped driving my V-Max and then sold it about three years later. There comes a time when you have to stop. To play poker you have to fold some hands. I had some good mad times with a VMax but any more than 4 passengers is dangerous.

I'm glad you are a live. Sorry about the loss of a part of you. I hear these stories and see videos and sometimes question why I ride. I have a slow bike, a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 800, but 45MPH is 45MPH. I've wanted a VMAX ever since I saw one and heard about what it is capable of. Especially the new 2009 VMAX, it sends chills up my spine to hear that engine and the VBOOST to kick in. If you want to still ride, I hope you have figured out some options, as I they exist. Bless you.
