motorcycle vs automobile

Get well soon.  glad to hear that you're not too banged up.

Sucks dude. Did this happen at an intersection or did the driver just change lanes into you?

it was at a stop light. i rolled up as the light changed to green, i was traveling about 20-25 when she made a left hand turn right into me. funny part was that she had a totally unobstructed view of me with my headlight on. i was concentrated on someone too the right that looked like they were going to make a right turn in front of me. by the time i realized she was turning, i was looking at the sky. weirdest thing i have ever felt. kinda like if you walked around a corner, and someone laid you out.

My dad's been in a few motorcycle accidents, and has some stories to tell.

One you might enjoy:  My dad had let his brother-in-law, who was a mechanic for our military at the time, take the bike out for a spin.  Let's just say, Chuck totaled it.  Thankfully, Chuck wasn't hurt.  Later, though, my dad gets a letter from the government for damaging government property.

I did that to a guy when I was 17.  *fudge*ed him up pretty good.  Totally my fault as far as I know but to this day I don't know where he came from. 

"Start seeing motorcycles" is a great bumper sticker but, you know what, they're smaller than a car.  Some times they're hard to see.  Not talking about AM's scenario here.  Just a general observation.

Get well and I hope it all works out medically, financially and so on.

automobile wins every time.

yes, some woman tried to run me over. made a left turn right in to me while yackking on the phone. i managed to escape with only a broken leg both bones at the ankle. have to have surgery to repair it on Monday, happened this passed Wednesday. currently have a cast up to my knee. other than that, just a couple of  scrapes and bruises, thank god for leather.

Yikes! I'm glad you're all right and the injuries weren't more severe. Get well soon.

Almost had my run in last week except it was a guy on a cell phone in a truck....  Good to know you are still around to tell about it, could have been much worse.   Now that we know how you are, how's the bike?
