****, glad you are okay thats one hell of a pic it almost looks staged.
First time crash
So I got up in the morning, ate only a muffin to hold me over for most the day. Contemplated selling my bike in about a month to pay off debt. Then went to class, turned in a paper that was sure to get a bad grade, thought to myself, "Man, today can't get any worse..." then right after class--

My first accident in my 2 years of riding.
Happened yesterday around 2pm.
I was going between 25-30mph, splitting lanes in dead-stop traffic to get through the intersection and on the freeway before it rained. The guy that hit me was making a left turn, which he had to yield at. I had the right of way [but that intersection has no lights for the way I was going], but didn't see him before it was too late to swerve or brake because a jeep was blocking my view and figured everyone was stopped because there was no more room to go onto the other side without blocking the intersection.
I got up right after I was hit with just a bruise on my right leg. My helmet didn't even have any marks on it.
I am officially a lucky ******* and am forever grateful to the Great Motorcycle Gods.
Be safe out there.

Thanks 
I'm glad I'm okay too. Couldn't believe I was standing right after it, I thought, "Oh, must be the adrenaline. I'll fall down in a moment or two."
I have another picture of two cops smiling at it, they couldn't believe it stayed like that too.
I'm pretty sore today, but nothing horrible.
I'll be getting a copy of the police report in a couple days our so.

Here's some more.
They were taken by a fellow biker who happened to be nearby with his camera working on some project. He sent me them through email yesterday.

Tell me about it. I try to make a good first impression
And thank you to everyone. I appreciate it.
The front is completely shot. So it'll take a while.
I didn't feel so bad when I went to go pick my bike up at the warehouse they towed it (and a $30 gate fee, what the f is that?!). The guy there showed me a Ducati 1098s, brand new but completely totaled, the rider didn't even put on a plate yet. Hope he's doing okay :/

Great to be here.
Yeah, my mom called the doctor. Got a 9:15am appointment waiting for me.
