Sounds like the drivers in South Africa are just like the drivers the USA where 20% of crashes are hit and run.

4-way stop. I stopped and the bmw approached the stop from my right. I assumed he would stop and pulled off. He skipped the stop street and hit me on the right. Fortunately he hit me behind the floorboards missing my leg. Close call

Couldn't be bothered: the insurance's problem. No just waiting for the quote from the dealership. And shipping parts takes two to three weeks if HD has stock��

That reminds me. Some pregnant chick almost stepped out in front of me while riding by her. I hollered,"You can get knocked DOWN too!"

They should be looking for a guy with a BMW bumper sticking out of his ***.
Of course, if you did that, he couldn't have left the scene.
Wishful thinking.

You do know that you are supposed to throw your body under the tanks.

That's funny. Sad thing is my 2018 slim was a bit unique: HD replaced the fuel tank under warranty (it had a slight dent). They shipped the 2018 sportglide fuel tank in error. I decided to keep it...
