Damnit to hell THIS PISSES ME OFF! The scumbag bastard was thinking more
about not going to jail, than the person, or the family of the person he just took
out. I sure am glad you are Ok enough to post, do take care and get some healing
time in then worry about everything else later.

Glad you're up and about...but you shouldn't be surprised what low life goofballs will do now days. Be more surprised if the DONT hit and run. Maybe some saw who it was and got some information. Maybe.

Glad that you're the one telling the story. I hope this catches up with the guy who hit you.

I think people who flee the scene like that should, amongst other things, have their DLs taken away permanently. It's the ultimate display of irresponsibility and neglect.

Hope they find 'em, even if the chances might be slim.

Heal fast.
Very good chance the person that hit the motorcyclist doesn't have~

1. A license

2. Liability insurance

3. Citizenship

You can add DUI to that list of reasons to flee.

We have a whole generation of people who feel it is acceptable to avoid responsibility for your actions.

Collision happened in Ca, common for drivers to flee collisions.

I wear a sticker on the face of my helmet instructing anyone to NOT remove my helmet until the EM's get there. If you had a neck injury they could make it worse by trying to help you in removing your helmet.
