Sitting
in McDonalds waiting for my wife to pock me up now. I would be out on my bike but someone decided to hit me from behind at a light, I heard screeching and I looked in the mirror and I saw a car coming a little fast. Not enough time for me to dump the clutch, I had it in first. Pow she knocked the damn thing right from under me, I slid on my azz and left elbow. Paramedics came and checked me out, I'm walking away with scrapes and bruises.



Over all I'm. Pissed but its a good day. I'll live to ride another day!!!!!

Been in your shoes.

Glad you are ok.

I watch my mirrors now---

a couple of years ago we have a methed up truck driver roll over a group of riders here in PHX. 4 fatalities and others withcrippling injuries.

This is one reason to allow motorcycles to "filter" to the front of traffic stopped at a light, as is common outside of North America

That sucks but glad you are sitting in Mickey D's and not laying strapped to a backboard in a trauma center. Hope you are on the road again soon.

Lemme guess, she was probably texting or using her cell phone in some capacity?

Make sure your bike is fixed up better than new...

You want fries with that? j/k

Glad you are ok. My eyes are always glued to the rear view mirror when at a stop. Not looking for the day when something like that happens.
My best to you.
