Well it finaly happenned. some dude going too fast out of a yeld sign then slams on the brakes!
Good thing I was not going too fast, but fast enough to realize the only way to stop was to lay her down on the left side .the left foot got tangled one more time but nothing broken.
I was too shook up to get the guy s plates #. he says "well I was in front of you so its not my fault "and takes off while I m .the hyway peg took most of the scraping but is still intact .
can t ride or work for a while ,darn can hardly walk!

If he did not give you his name address and insurance card #, that is called, leaving the scene of an accident.
Sounded like he was a jerk off in the deal.

Any chance a business or city video cam caught the incident?
Sorry for your troubles.

Fault really does not matter much when a car and bike tango. It is best not to play the game.
Has anyone seen or used one of those on board vedio cameras that stay on when the vehicle is powered up like they use in europe? Would be a good deal on a bike.

I have a Go-Pro camera and seems to me it can be set so that the video loops over and erases the old video. Have to change the battery the battery though.
Glad you're OK and feel like riding again.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Dam Fred. Sorry to hear this. I almost had the same problem the other day, but was able to avoid going down and missed the back of the pickup by about 6 inches. Glad it wasn't worse. Can't believe he didn't stop to make sure you were ok! Hay  Jimmyt |
