Default So there I was...

Have had two bikes. Nothing fancy.
Had a old Suzuki SP-125 that I used to get around on when I was in college.
One day I was coming around a corner (at the speed limit) and a car coming the other way turned in front of me.
Bike ended up on his hood, I smashed the windshield with my helmet, and broke my wrist. My groinal area hurt pretty good too, but superficial damage luckily.
Bike was totalled, his car might have been too, never found out. It was a little car and got banged up pretty good, and his insurance company covered my injuries, my bike, and gave me an extra $4k (which I did not ask for). Used the extra money to get my instrument rating and for some food.
Worked out well strangely enough.
Had a KLR-650 too a few years ago. That was fun and I managed to avoid hitting anything.
Big on helmets.
