Well, I got knocked down this am going to work in Harvey La. Was driving about 45mph with a truck dead on my a$$ with his high beams on. No other traffic and four lanes. I slowed to 40 to let him pull around but no go, 30mph,,nope,,25mph,,nope. Finally I pulled onto the shoulder and he decided to accelerate. The boat he was pulling was very large(heavy aluminum) and I think the trailer fender hit my left saddlebag sending me to the ground. He must have been late for a fish so guess what. My injuries are minor(thankfully I was going slow) but the custom paint on the batwing and the left bag are toast. Oh well, at least I am still around to fix it.

 

Did he just keep on going?

 

FWIW I tend to use my throttle to solve traffic interaction issues. Separation from idiots makes me feel better.

 

Man, that sucks. I wonder why the hell the truck didn't just pass like anyone normal would have. Good to hear you are OK. Have to admit, I've never heard of a "bike vs boat" before.

 

sorry i would have twisted that throttle and jammed out of his way

 

Did you call the law?

It isn't too hard to find a truck with a boat attatched. Hit and run tends to get the man out and looking.

 

Post a picture of the damage.

 

There are some real BAS---DS out there, I swear they are jealous. I just dont get it.

 

That fuc$er. I am glad to hear you are ok bro. Most people that tow crap have no idea what they are doing and cause alot of traffic collisions.

 

Sucks. Glad you're OK. Was that on the West Bank Expressway??
