It seems like an unfortunte year for a lot of people, seeing how many guys went down...including myself.
I posted up a crash report here,
http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=119.msg515559#msg515559
Remember guys to be aware of your surroundings.
Thanks to CDawg, Evil Steve, and Bones for a great ride. Especially to Evil Steve for setting my head straight riding on the streets, something I really need to work on. Chosing a SAFER line, a SADER distance to the rider ahead of you, and lane dicipline. All things that I've neglected.
ride safer guys.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The tank isnt scratched at all. How that happened? Im not sure. I havent heard back from the dealer either.
That shit they use for road patching is complete bull shit. The local guys said the same thing. A crew came on friday and laid gravel everywhere. No one held up signs or posted anything. A few of them barely escaped crashing.
I wonder if PA has something like NYC where you can file a claim with them and get them to pay for your damages. WHo the hell uses loose gravel to fill potholes anyway?

The last 2 times i crashed the bike was out for 2 months, then the other crash, i couldn't walk for 3 months because of a very very bad exhaust burn right where the ankle pivots.
I forgot who said this, but someone posted that maybe Karma is taking a HUGE shit on me for something good in the long run... god damn it. I hope your right. But i rather not since my jaw, head,neck and hip is too sore to deal with Karma's BS.

you would be SHOCKED how many places do this. usually it is loose gravel and then they come by with a little asphalt to cover it and pound it down. near me they do the same thing and forgot to do the asphalt and the county got tons of calls after ppl had windshields broken from it flying up.. whoops..

Around here, those are referred to as 'Chip and Tar' roads... Which are fine after a couple months - but yeah, when they have been freshly done they are real problems. I was on a freshy re-chipped road last year and got the rear end shimmy goning - not fun.
Contact PennDOT see if you can make a claim. Won't cost you anything to call

Ill write them an email. I'm probably not the friendliest person to talk to right now if I don't know you. lol
Wish i had my go pro mounted and recording.
I dont have any evidence of the crash, other then the damage to the bike and myself. And since I only have liability, my insurance doesnt cover any of this stuff. Added ontop that theres no phone service up there, Its not like i could of dialed 911 and filed a police report. still doable?

That makes sense. Ill give it a try. I'll just call them. I forgot that most people are nice outside of NYC. But...i have to go to school first.
So ill ring them up when i get home.
Thanks for the advice ductiz. Ill update this thread if anything happens.
On another note...since i crashed out 3 times, does that mean i wont crash again? 3rd times a charm! lol
