Motorcyclist n/b on 110 sideswiped by truck Wednesday afternoon, 2:30pm. Truck did not stop. Five cars stopped to assist fallen rider until Fire, Police, and Ambulance units arrived. No one was able to identify the truck.

Motocyclist suffered scratches and a broken clavicle. Motorcycle itself suffered scratches.

Thank God for gear and for the five people who stopped for me.

 

woah woah you got sideswiped? damn dude... hope you get better and catch that ****** ******

 

Damn Herb, I'm sorry man.

I'm glad you're relatively alright. Back on it soon?

 

Doubt the truck driver will ever show. They probably didn't even know they bumped me.

Right now I'm not sure about riding on the streets in the future. We'll see. This one shook me up good, and SuMo is just tons more fun lately.

 

heal up quick herb! I wish my buddy would have taken the chicken off your hands so you wouldn't have been hurt.

 

Damn dude, that sucks. Any description of the truck? It was a minor bump from the truck, so not too much damage?

Glad you're okay. I know how a broken clavical feels like. Not too much fun.

 

Sorry to hear man, get better soon!

That truck driver will get what's coming to him one way or another.

 

oh **** herb.

glad to hear you're ok, esp the way people drive on the 110--i don't know what's worse: being injured, or that someone didn't even realize that they almost killed you.

 

how bad is the damage on the bike? is it only scratches?

and did he bump you or did he hit a big part of your bike?

anyways, glad to hear ur doing well, stay up buddy

do you remember what kind of truck it was or anything? maybe some of us socal-ers can keep a look out.

 

oh man glad you're ok! were u riding in his blind spot, or in the middle of passing or something? sorry i don't have a bike and am just trying to learn of dangerous situations to avoid. that's really shitty the truck drove off.

 

damn. Glad you're alright.

 

That's crazy mang. Good to hear you survived with relatively minor injuries. Wish you a quick recovery.

 

Thanks guys!

The bike is scratched on the right side, where it already had some character marks. I had a few friction burns, but the clavicle is what really hurts.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the plate of the truck. All I noticed was that it was a gray Tacoma crew cab.

As for details, here is what I remeber...I was in the #3 lane, heading towards the 101/10 interchange from the 110. When I merged into the #2 lane (the one to my right), I sped up. The lane was clear and I wasn't lane-sharing anymore at this point. The truck had been in front of me before I changed lanes, then when I moved forward, it moved into my lane, knocking me down. All of this was about 25-30 mph.

 

Glad you're ok Herb . I had a car try to change lanes into mine as I was passing last night, ugh.

 

we almost lost the best moderator /26 never had. glad you're alright herb

 

thats no good, bad things always seem to happen to good people(This is why I am never in trouble). Sorry about that Herb, if you need any help... I will try where ever I can. take care and post pic's
peace

AWWW SHITTT!!!! broken clavicle? (googling it right now).. collar bone? Damnnn that freaking sucks! And your bike? Was it the Soopamoto? Get well soon and I hope all the bitches give you sympathy love!

 

Sucks. Hope you get better soon.

 

Awe man! I'm glad to hear that you're OK. expletive the 110/710, and the 91.

 

That's almost the same thing that happened to me a couple of Fridays ago when I too was nearly side swiped.

 

dang good to hear youre ok bro.

 

Thank the powers that be you were ot hurt more seriously. Heal up soon Marmalade!

 

Thanks everyone!

No pics this time...except for when it's time to part out the Superhawk (still on the fence about that). Besides, I'm sure you don't want to look at my x-rays.

except for that one pic that Ick has of me...

 

damn sux man. Ever since I've been thinking about getting a bike, I've been more careful for Bikes. Wish the government can make drivers more aware of these problems.

 

Good thing you.re ok. Damn, the 110 is always trouble. Definitely stay away if it gets moist out at all.
