Bike #11: 2007 Yamaha YZF-R6

On July 17, 2005, I was involved in what many are saying is the worst crash they've seen in the AFM in years. At the start of the race, one of the bikes on the front row had a mechanical failure before turn 1. He was rear ended and that caused a chain reaction crash that eventually took me out as well. Damage to me: severely fractured sacrum (attaches the spine to the pelvis) but there appears to be no serious nerve damage other than some lingering tingling in my right foot. Here's some pictures of my bike taken in my garage. I haven't seen it in person yet, these pictures were taken by my friend Gunnar, which he then emailed to me.
Damage that's not visible:

both front and rear tires are flat

both front and rear wheels are bent

left fork bottom is chewed up

forks are bent (I think)
