After many years of riding, I had my first accident.
Sitting at a stop sign waiting for traffic to pass so I could make my right-turn, a woman rear-ended me. Luckily for me, she only tapped me hard enough to hurl my bike to the ground, and launch me from the seat. Don't ask me how I didn't get hurt. I don't even know how I stayed on my feet the entire time. It happened so fast.
There was plenty of yelling, cursing, and waving of fists on my part. The woman asked me if I was hurt and all I could respond with was that I was TOO ANGRY to care if I was hurt.
Thankfully, damage was light... turn signal snapped, brake lever broken, original exhaust smashed.
They'll give any negligent brain dead herbert a license these days.
Be careful out there lads idiots are everywhere !!!

She is going to pay for the damage on your machine right? I got hit on my motorcycle head on about 8 yrs ago. Some dumb b#@$% turned left in front of me, and pow over the hood. She was kind enough to speed of and leave me, my bike and my passenger in the ditch. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. Luckily we were both OK. Bruised and scrapped and a beat up bike.

I got her insurance information and faxed an estimate of all the parts that were damaged.
How could any person live with themselves after hitting someone and just run off?

About a year ago,not far from I live. There's a signal light,both ways.
Guy sitting, waiting for the green, and bam from behind.Yep dead in the water,quess he did'nt see the red light?
Then before that a hilly road, kid in a pickup truck passed his buddy on the crest of a hill and,head on with a bike comeing the other way. This people must be flipping stupid.
