This is my first time on since this happened so heres my story....
got out of work at 7 on sunday and im driving down a four laned road towards my house ( 2 lanes each way) with a posted speed of 40mph.... so im doing about 50 or so and in the left lane in my direction and waiting to turn into a shopping center is a buick in the left lane of the opposing lanes..... I see the lady start to turn and im thinking to myself...."she sees me....shes not going to turn..... oh **** shes turning"....
slammed on the brakes and had to be doing about 25-30mph when i hit into her passengers door..... i stood up for the impact so i went over the roof of her car and rolled down the street.... stood up screaming and cursing at her yet shes still driving into the lot..... people come running to me and stop her and all....
The old bitch who had to be about 80....ill know today when i get the police report.... says she didnt even see me and thought she hit a curb.....
anyway i got taken to the hospital and spent the rest of my night there until about 2am..... i had my jacket on and i was good up top but my jeans ripped open on my left knee and the whole thing is skinned as well as my left hip bruised and swollen and stiffer than stiff..... but nothing broken or anything....
The bike is done.... forks bent backwards and went straight through the radiator... plastics destroyed... triple tree bent... front rim bent...
anyway i made out amazingly good considering im walking away with just a couple scraps and bruises....
so with el insurance money.... i have a big debate..... new bike or go back to the dirt with a dirtbike and through a nice vortech on the stang ....
