Need to vent
Sitting
in McDonalds waiting for my wife to pock me up now. I would be out on my bike but someone decided to hit me from behind at a light, I heard screeching and I looked in the mirror and I saw a car coming a little fast. Not enough time for me to dump the clutch, I had it in first. Pow she knocked the damn thing right from under me, I slid on my azz and left elbow. Paramedics came and checked me out, I'm walking away with scrapes and bruises.
Over all I'm. Pissed but its a good day. I'll live to ride another day!!!!!

Been in your shoes.
Glad you are ok.
I watch my mirrors now---
a couple of years ago we have a methed up truck driver roll over a group of riders here in PHX. 4 fatalities and others withcrippling injuries.

This is one reason to allow motorcycles to "filter" to the front of traffic stopped at a light, as is common outside of North America

Glad you are ok. My eyes are always glued to the rear view mirror when at a stop. Not looking for the day when something like that happens.
My best to you.
