Glad you are still with us.I crashed my Strom 1000 in November of 2011 ended up with fractured right tib, fib and ankle ,Just started walking with a crutch.My windshield .and right turn signal and the front brake lever broke.Stay safe.

Sorry for this...but glad you were OK...not that it would make you feel better, but in my 30 years of riding, I've averaged a crash every 5 or 6 years...

Oooo look- I see turn signal bits!
Hang in there- You can't say you own a Vstrom until you have replaced the turn signals!

dude how many bikes do you own? Just an R6, Strom, Ninja 250r AND GS500?

I hit what I believe to be transmission fluid on an extrance to the interstate in knoxville. It was pouring down rain and I was lost. The rain probably diluted the oil and I was going slow because I couldn't see. This probably saved me from going down.

0:06. Oil on the road. Bummer
"There goes my goal of no crashing in 2012". In 0:35 it's obvious that you have crashed again...on the other side, but it doesn't look bad. :-( Sorry for you, it looks like it wasn't your fault, except...tires maybe? Are they old?

@NatK1981 Those scratches were from the previous owner. I'm pretty sure the outcome would have been the same if it was a hot day and I was on my sportbike with stickier tires..... but who knows. I'm don't care to test out that theory.
