The driver went a little farther and he also caught his foot on the truck, fucked it up pretty bad.
I rebroke my ankle, had road rash over 30% of my body (leather coat unzipped, t-shirt, jeans, boots, no gloves, helmet) that took weeks of burn therapy to heal. What really sucked is that is happened in Florida, in July and to top it off, the bike caught fire.
I still can't watch other people bite it. Needless to say, I couldn't bring myself to click the link.
I do still ride but never bitch. My jacket is always zipped. I always wear a helmet and gloves. Now if I can get you car driving fuckers to stop pulling out in front of me or cutting me off or forcing me off the the highway I'll be fine.

Yep I learned a good lesson when I had my bike accident I had a Lid on but I had no gloves or no leather and the crash was only a 35mph accident when a woman reversed out of her drive and Did not see me coming down the road(or did not bother to look) but I hit the back end of the car and apart from braking my leg all my hands and finger nails were bleeding from road burn as well as my legs Now I always wear leather and gloves even if I go a short distance, but the amount of people I see over here wearing only shorts and a shirt and trainers makes me cringe. If only they knew how quick an accident can happen on a bike, and it dosent matter whether you are doing 90mph or 30mph. I also think that most bike riders are more aware of what is going on around them than car drivers as I tend to find when Im driving my car with the cd on and all tucked up in my little safe warm box I am not concetrating on the road as when I am riding my bike.
