Lucky you didn't hit a tree.
Get the ins co to total it, buy it back at a cheapo price, get a new bike with the ins money and you come out ahead. Plus you get to build it bigger and better.
Get well soon.

It was my mistake for going too fast in a t-storm in a dark, rural neighborhood. But yes, ABS would have helped because I would have just stomped on the brakes
that's right
Yeah the bike is at a reputable indy in Chantilly, VA. The Progressive agent 3-wayed him into the convo. So far, I'm very happy with Progressive and the adjuster. Trust me when I say the list of upgrades just got longer 
Lol
Yeah i dont know why she tried to grow wings...
Thanks for all the good wishes fellas and for the laughs. I'm definitely blessed to be here and relatively healthy!
Especially because I'm due to deploy to douchebagistan in a few weeks!
ride safe homies!

that's rightReminds me that I really need to start wearing my brain bucket, glad you're ok (so to speak).
If the frame & drivetrain are good then I'd push to keep the bike from totaling.
You can do a lot with beat-up bike and 11k. I've done it three times now (for three different friends), every one of them had a color matched frame when I was done.

Been down a couple times before myself. Glad to hear you're OK as far as motorcycle injuries go. The bike can be fixed so just take care of yourself and look forward to planning out your next bike.
