MK, glad you're OK and it wasn't worse. That's a shame after all the work you did on the bike to get it where you wanted it. Heal fast and ride soon, and beat her *** in your dreams.

Glad you’re reasonably OK.
Sucks to have that happen.

Glad hear you are mostly unscathed.

Wishing you a quick recovery and hope you get those knees back in the breeze soon!

Glad that you are okay. I hate to hear about this stuff. I live in SoCal and it is a real sh*t show out there. I hope the idiot’s insurance gives you money and her premiums go up.

There was no contact, the cops would claim multiple falt. Already talked with them.
I'd have to press hit and run charges. No video, no proof. It is what it is, will have to brush up on my threshold braking....WAY TO MUCH front brake.

Hurt my pride more than my body and the bike just needed new handlebars...cars don't need to have people in them to be dangerous lol!
You couldn't plan that one. That funny **** right there. But sorry to hear..
I think they called them "Bell Bottoms" I had a few pairs...

I went down once with the OL Lady on the back in a parking lot where while front braking only while turning, shifted all the weight to the left front and we went down.. She hurt her knee but that was all that happened.. no real other damage..
You learn quickly to use the rear and not the front in those situations..
