Long story short, cliffs at bottom fellas. Just cruising from my friends house, along with another buddy of mine on his BRAND NEW 5 HOURS OLD 03 R1. He is in front of me. We are going down a neighorhood street about 30mph, he is in front of me.

I notice a green pickup coming from the right and had to slam on her brakes, and I swerved out of the way, and I remember saying to myself "wtf", and as we were coming up to the stop sign I was going to tell my friend that the car almost hit me. Next thing I know, we are both flying off our bikes, and she plowed into us from behind. I land and my right leg is hurting right away, my friend is fine, even though he got hit worse, and his bike is inside this lady's truck.

People all rushed over, turned out she was DUI (yes, at 5pm) she got arrested, we are suing (sp). I was really lucky guys. Please be careful.

 

OUCH! good thing that both of you are still alive i hope your leg becomes better, and get that women to pay for both motorcycles.

 

Dude, glad to hear you're still in one piece. Hope you heal quickly. Good luck with the lawsuit.

 

damn! glad you're ok! heal up quick. time for some nice new bikes, courtesy of the lady in the green truck...

 

Damn, So sorry to hear that. My friend with his 2 day old 750 got hit from behind when he was sitting at a red light. The guy never got out to help or ask if he needed help. Then the guy that hit him trys to get my friend to take to "his friends shop" and fix it. So after my friend pulled the bike off his leg, The cops and tow truck showed up. The cop had no idea how bad the wreck was cause he estimated the damage at $100 (later a shop estimated at little over $3000). So, we conviced him to sue the guy that hit him.


EDIT: I hope that you get your bike back faster than my friend. He has been wanting for almost 3 weeks.

 

Man I'm sorry to hear about that and your friends brand spankin' new bike too, but glad that you two are ok and hopefully you guys will be fully reimbursed for the damages and I hope this doesn't keep you from getting back on a bike. to DRUNK WOMEN.

 

Damn bro glad to hear you're ok.

The bike can be replaced, but you and your friend surely cannot.

Word.

 

Thanks guys, ya we do consider ourselves lucky. Also, all gear was worn at the time. Helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots.

 

sucks....atleast your going to get alot of money providing she works

 

Told you 10seconds. hehe. dont matter how safe you ride, you can always crash or go down. mad stupid drivers everywhere!!!

glad you are ok though blue, i hate stupid cagers. almost got run over by 4 16 y/o girls in their moms camry last week. i was cursing them all to hell. make sure you add pain and suffering to your lawsuit against the insurance company. you can max out the ladys policy, which is usually 30k per person per accident. good luck in getting the old bat

 

good to hear you walked away... you get any road rash, or just bruised up?

 

When ya gonna get on a bike again?

Good luck with everything. Glad you're ok.

 

I have road rash on my leg only. My bike is home, I'm just waiting for her insurance to come write me a check. I'm only fixing what I have to, see sig

 

Glad you are ok. That's the one thing that makes me nervous about getting a bike, other drivers

Brian

 

Glad to hear you are both ok. Sue that b*tch for everything she has. Damn drunk drivers

 

holy ****. glad you are ok. this **** really upsets me.

 

I'm REALLY glad you got away with only some leg rash. I would have freaked on that women.. DUI at 5pm..

Good luck, and I hope you and your body have an easy time with insurance and get ridding again soon!

 

Thats crazy, thankfully you didnt get injured.

Good luck with everything, atleast you got a new "stunt bike" out of it

 

Glad to hear you walked away with minor injuries. It could have been alot worse, especially with a drunk driver behind the wheel.

 

 

That suck ***!! Glad to hear you are alright!! I hope you have an attorney involved.

 

get a very good lawyer and rip her a new one. You owe it to all of us who've been hit and left in a ditch

 

ya she will pay out

 

The bike looks to be in pretty good shape, looks like a new exhaust and blinker and it will be good to go, how much is left of your friends bike?

 

1/2 of it My bike looks ok, but I need new fairings, taillight, frame slider, windscreen, turn signals, clutch lever, right foot bracket, gas tank
