I know this is almost preaching to the choir since we all love two wheels, but I'll say it anyway...

When you're driving in your cage/car/truck... stay aware, look for those two-wheelers.

I almost got toasted by two large construction trucks today only to get hit by a passenger car 10 minutes later. I was making a left turn, he was making a right, we were turning onto a four lane (two each way) road, there was no reason for him to coast over into my lane forcing me to dump my bike or get hit by on-coming traffic.

I do take full responsibility for my pain and financial loss cuz I KNOW people don't pay attention and simply don't care and I should *always* ride expecting a-holes. But I'll still ask y'all to pay attention and care

ouch. are you still in possession of all of your skin?

 

[5cents]

Damm Opie, are you okay?

Did the dill hole get a ticket or anything like that, did they even stop?

It seems people out here in good old Colorado, just don't give a rat's ass to look for the bikes. See the news last night about the guy who got killed.

Hope all is well. How is the bike?

I'm guessing you were wearing a helmet... cuz you seem *twitch* okay.

Just lost some on my knee, but my helmet's ruined, my leather jacket is scuffed up, my jeans are ruined, my boots are good. Sh:t can happen at any moment and while I respect people's rights to ride without a helmet, I just don't understand.

Got another concussion, he didn't stop... I almost think he was so unaware that he had no idea that it happened. I didn't see the news last night, probably would've been more cautious today if I had, but the news depresses and bores me. Tore the gear-shift pedal in half, so it's fun trying to shift with a little metal arm.

Damn dude. Glad you had a helmet.

 

[blue]

Wait wait you were turning left? On a green? Green arrow? Stoplight? What?

Even if it has two lanes, if you were turning left and he was going right on a green it was your fault. However, if it was on an arrow it was his fault and you should've gotten the license plate down...
