Sore, bruised and bummed!! Motorcycle gone!

Well folks I had a bad encounter with someones rocking chair yesterday.

I was on my motorcycle and I was behind a Dodge ram carrying a rocking chair. As I was on the on-ramp to I-15, accelerating to the merge lane I saw the chair fly out the back of the truck. I was going about 50 mph at that time and I was about 2 1/2 to 3 car lengths behind him.

It didn't matter, it happened so fast all I can do was try to swerve and hit the brakes, the chair ended up bouncing towards where I swerved and you guess it I slammed into it. After that the bike fishtailed to its side and I was catapulted off the bike 10 -15 feet and tumbled another 10 or so feet.

I can't stress enough how important it is for people to strap their loads down securely!

The whole left side of the bike is smashed up, brand new windscreen shattered, floor boards and shifters are all crumpled up on that side as well.
