Haunted!
After riding with my church group to the airport Monday, to see McCain. We rode to get some barbecue, and then split and went our ways. It was a beautiful day to ride. Me and another friend from church decided to ride to Black Wolf HD. In Britol,VA. We left Johnson City TN. on 11E 4 lane, heading towards the Bristol Motor Speedway. We were east bound, I look to the left up ahead and a newer VW turns right off of a side road, on to 11E going west bound. The old woman driving the VW pulled all the way to the fast lane to avoid a car coming in the right lane (slowlane). Which the other lane(fastlane),Had a older fellow riding what looked like a vulcan, and she didnt see. I horrified watched the vulcan slam the right rear of the VW, launching the rider over the VW into the middle of the fast lane not moving. I was the first to reach him, to find him breathing (abnormal) 911 was called and they arrived in what seemed like 60 secs. Alot of bikers stopped to see if they could help. My friend and I said a prayer for him, before help arrived. I wish I knew how he is. On the way back to my Bike the old woman was crying about what he did to her car. And I sternly told her dont worry about your car lady, you need to worry about the man that might die, at your hand. Talk about audacity. I hope I can shake this soon. I've not had any luck so far.

Are you a witness? Seems like you had a birdseye view of the accident & you would be a key witness for the rider or his family if needed. If the lady had to pull into the fast lane to avoid a car in the slow lane & she pulled in front of the bike, what the hell was she thinking? Prayers for the rider.

That sux.
Better write up a statement as I'm sure you'll be contacted by both parties ins.companies.
I got rear ended stopping at a light that was goin' red once and the other party tried to say it was my fault for stopping, even though there was another vehicle turning right on the same light that was changnin' for them, that was going red on me.
Makes me wanna have a cigarette just thinkin' and writin' bout it...
