Default Thankful to be alive

God is definitely watching over me, very strange sensation sliding across pavement at 40mph. Old man in his Lexus decided stop signs are optional I couldn't quite avoid him so I wound sliding across his front bumper and getting tossed off the bike. I walked away with a fractured big toe from the shifter peg catching the back of my steel toe boot, and a cracked rib. I am more pissed that all of my anniversary tins are toast and the guy ran off with out saying a word.

You mean stop signs are mandatory?

Glad to hear you're OK, and too bad you didn't catch the guy.
But don't worry, karma's a bitch and he'll get his...

glad you are basically OK. Scariest things on the roads are old people, kids (and others) texting, and drunks. anyone get a license number?

out in Sashe huh? well that pretty much includes all of north texas. cagers with their heads in their *** is pretty much the norm. probably why I'm not bald but have only 5 strands of dark hair. "Expect the expected" is the rule.

Damn dude. I'm furious for you that the scum bag didn't stop!

Hope karma catches up to him in a big way.

Get healed up and that insurance dough will take care of the sled.

Good to hear your injuries are relatively minor. It could have been so much worse. As they say, your bike can be fixed and you can count your blessings that you can ride another day. People's lack of attention really sucks on the open rode.
