First crash on a motorcycle, wear your gear everyone :)

Hey guys, I made a post about a month ago showing off my 2023 ninja 400 with less than 3000 miles on it, and it’s totaled now.
I was going through an intersection and this chick pulled out from a parking spot on the side of the street and punched it to the left turn lane to try to make it on a yellow light. I grabbed a handful of front brake and it actually ended up saving me. When I grabbed the front brake I was also trying to get out of the way of the car, but I ended up low siding and my bike hit the side of the car while I slid past it a few feet. I have a feeling if I didn’t try to get out of the way I would’ve hit the car head on and been launched from my bike into the air.
All this to say that I’m very glad I’m okay (and extremely sad about my brand new bike being totaled) and I’m so glad I always wear all my gear. I got off with 3 staples on my knee and a tiny bit of road rash in 2 places. If I wasn’t wearing all my gear I would’ve been much worse off for sure, so please wear your gear everyone.
P.S thank you to the fellow biker that stopped to check if I was okay, it means a lot
