First off, I am fine. No injuries save being sore and a bruise on my knee.

To keep it short, it is a two lane road with a turning lane in the middle. Semi pulled straight into the turning lane, no right signal.
I pulled to the far right of the lane near. Speed limit is 35mph, i was doing between 35 and 40. As I got closer to the semi, he started to turn right. I put on the breaks but could not stop in time. He was using both the middle and my lane. ???
I tried making the right hand turn hoping he would be a bit wide or that I could get down the road a bit, but neither happened. :truce:
Cops came and cited the driver for no turn signal and no proof of insurance.
The adjuster came this morning and said that he does not think the bike will be a total loss, but wants my shop to pull off the plastics so he can take a closer look. :motonoises:
Hopefully it will be up and running soon.
