Left hand turn
« on: November 14, 2008, 10:38:44 AM »

My partner last night T-boned a car that decided that bikes going 50 mph were not worthy of being noticed or yielded too., he never had a chance, he is out of surgery, many injury's, (they hit him with morphine while laying on the pavement),  the bone sticking out of his lower leg is back where it belongs, fracture in his neck probably being the most serious (everything works stiill) but still, very lucky that he had no serious head injury's, Hit the passenger rear where the quarter panel starts, had he been a foot more or so to the front of the car, I don't think he would of faired so well, bike is wasted, took 6 of us to get it in the truck, with some help from the firemen. Quarter panel on the cage looked like  a car wacked it. The mother of the driver  is on her cellphone, she's telling someone on the other end, that some guy on a motorcycle just ran into my baby's car, like it was his fault, lol. No clue. I give the daughter a little credit, she was very upset, and remorsefull. She made a mistake and will pay for it obviously, I feel for the kid. Watch out for those cars sitting there getting ready to make that turn, they look right at you and go anyway.

My prayers go out for a speedy and full recovery...

 Over the last few months, I've had to jam on the brakes six or seven times due to the same clueless crap. One guy I actually made contact with his front wheel, very slow impact but I still had to pick the bike up. A-hole didn't have a license...

All my best to your friend...
