A guy in a SUV cut off the car 2 cars ahead of me. He about took out me and 2 cars. He pulls in front of the car ahead and slams on his brakes because of traffic. The car in front of me hits the car in front of him then I hit the car in front of me. I almost missed him. We were just picking up speed when it happened. There was a cop on the side of the road with someone else and saw the whole thing.I hit the car doing about 30 to 35, the suv guy took off. I landed in the other lane. Lucky nobody was there or I would have been ran over.
The bike might be totaled. It broke off the right peg and tore a hole in the cam cover. It was weird because both cars ahead of me were covered with the oil from my bike.
As far as I go I'm banged up. I thought I broke my right wrist but it's just swollen. I broke my left arm. Lots of scrapes and bruises this morning.I landed on my left hip and elbow. All in all I'm very lucky. I got up and walked away.

At least you walked away from it. Hopefully, you'll get a new bike out of it.

Did they ever catch the goofball in the SUV?

Very sore this morning. Funny thing is I feel more embarassed and mad more than hurt. I considered myself a good driver/rider for something like this to happen.

Damn! That's sucks about you and the bike brother. I'm just glad your alright. Bikes are replaceable. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
