Default Got Hit yesterday

Got hit yesterday.....

I got Really lucky!

I'm going down the street, old man waiting to cross in his car,
he is Looking the OTHERWay...

He doesn't see me.

He moves out, then I start braking, I start sliding into him.

He brakes.

My front highway peg hits his front license plate.

pulls the metal end cap off the peg.

Bike stays up, I'm happy.

He offered to pay for damage, but I was just happy I didn't tip over.

You should have baught a lotto ticket cause you can't get much luckier than that, glad all is good. I would have taken him up on paying for damages sounds like he was at fault.

Its only wrong to kick *** because america became the land of the victim...

The guy that breaks into your house has more rights to harm you than you have to defend yourself against them. The more people we as a group let get away with this **** the more people won't think twice about it when it happens. Mess with my life, pay a price for it.

I live next to lawrence, Massachusetts. My tolerance for idiots and ******** is wearing thin. My Girl just had her car totalled by an 85 year old woman that has been ordered by a doctor to surrender her license. Yea Maybe i am a tad bit upset when I hear about inattentive old drivers almost killing a motorcyclist. Not to mention Matt Denice who was just killed by an illegal immigrant while driving drunk dragging him for over 1/4 of a mile, stopping backing up and running over him again.
