I've only been riding 2 years and I watch countless videos online and read numerous articles of motorcycle accidents. Accidents will happen and the best I can do is be an attentive and safe rider to prevent the accidents from happening to myself. If anyone knows the rider, wish him a speedy recovery. | |

Not to be confused for the shift/fox rep Cody Smith that a lot of spokane riders know from the track/race circle. He will need surgery but i havnt gotten all the details yet on the extent of his injurys. His bike was a CBR954rr. |

| Newbie Joined: Oct 2012 From: spokane, wa I Ride: Titanium CBR 954RR | That was me. Yep, omw to work in the morning. I was looking over my right shoulder to make sure nobody was going to merge into my lane while I was still in it. I then looked forward and saw the GMC Yukon in front of me had rear-ended the car infront of him. I hammered my brakes and did a stoppie into the back of the Yukon at 60+ mph. Fractured both wrists and my jaw. Also knocked unconcious. Thank god I was wearing a quality helmet (Shoei RF-1000) and thick leathers. Saved my life. Here I am over two months later with titanium in my wrists and jaw. My CBR 954 is actually in okay shape. Because I jammed on the brakes so hard, the bike took all the damage to the gas tank. I've got all the parts to fix it now and just need the time to do the repairs. Thank you all for caring. As small of traffic there is in Spokane, it is saturated with crazy drivers. Ride safe. |

| Endorsed  Joined: Nov 2007 From: Sumner, WA I Ride: V star 950 | Sucks for the biker, but yes he was following to close. Car 1 cut off car 2 that's on car 1. But the space from car 2 and the bike was to small. And where was his way out?? Be safe out there. |
