I had the side of my '98 VFR taken off and my foot smashed with a stress fracture (wasn't even lane splitting) by some (insert expletive here) that decided he should be in the lane I was in. I kept the bike upright, but it made me mad. I would have pounded the guy but he was literally full on balling on the side of the road saying how bad it scared him. $2000 worth of damage and a sore foot for a few weeks and all is well.
I feel your pain. Brice <<Ugh! I agree... Last summer I was in Boston and got hit by a minivan..... The guy was backing out of a street and didn't even look. It was a very low speed accident but my forks got bent, the clutch cable got snaped and I dumped my honda shadow on its side which skraped the whole thing up. 100% his fault Not to bad though -I was fine and I got a nice check to put towards the bike I really want, BWM F650 which I will be picking up shortly ;) -Kris "Osborne, Brice D, GRWMK" wrote: > OK, > > Here is why I am a militant biker.
