Got clobbered by an Acura tonight.
Was stopped at a red light. Waiting to turn right on red. Allowed at this intersection.
So I'm looking 90 degrees left for an opening in traffic and BAM!!!!! Me and my bike are in the intersection laying on our right sides sticky and confused. Gas is pouring out the bike and my whole right side hurts and I can't get up at first. Bystanders stand my bike up and roll it off to the side. Gas leak stops. I'm laying there in pain trying to remember what happened. All I can remember is a black car came in the corner of my periphepal vision and I only got the 'thought' of the statement "oh" in "Oh shit!" out. (I had rehearsed in my mind that if I saw a car bearing down on me that I would let out the clutch and tear out of there.... I couldn't have let the clutch half out in the time this happened. To fast) I don't remember my hands coming off the bars. I don't remember my ass coming off the seat. I don't remember the motor dying. I didn't even smell the gasoline coming out the tank till 30 minutes later. Minor concussion? Anywho. I'm in lotsa pain but I lived. Gonna miss work tomorrow but I gotta examine my wrecked bike and of course see the doc. So there is my heroing story. Nearly all the impact was absorbed by my brand new Shinko tire on the stock wheel. What should I inspect the bike for tomorrow morning? It's making noises from the rear and my mirrors are f'd and etc etc etc. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
