Car decided he wanted my lane to turn right in while I was in it this morning.
Just got back from Hospital. Fortunately I walked out of there. Torn AC joint and grazes down my thigh, leg and knees.
Bikes a bit of a mess but might be fixable
The prick didn't STOP!

Sorry to hear about that Dan. All the best for a quick mend to both you and the bike.
Same thing almost happened to me coming back from the Frasers opening the other week. Thumb even missed the horn during evasive procedures .... he certainly heard me calling him a make the beast with two backsing idiot as I hit the anchors though .... luckily he pulled back after he heard me.
So when you say 'he didn't stop' was he completely oblivious or did he do a runner? Hope you got his details for a bit of follow-up.
Again, all the best with the recovery.

best I know is he didn't stop.
He couldn't miss me since I slambed into the driver door/front quarter an flew over the bonnet.
Apparentely no won got his details and I was on the ground a bit more worried about trying to breath at the time.
I don't know if the police turned up as after I left or not. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Glad you're ok Dannog and hope you feel better soon. And hope that pinhead's conscience gets to them and that their repair bill is huge.

Thanks Jukie, a bit of lov is want I want.
Family have gone and rented a bunch of movies for me for tomorrow.
The bruzzes are really coming up now so I'll find a few more drugs.
Watching topgear UK, its good to have the original back.
Had a look at an 2006 S4RS online which might be a nice replacement .... plus a heap of change.
Gona give the cops a call tomorrow so that I don't have any problems with the insurance claim.

That sucks Dan,
Am glad you are okay, did anyone else stop to help you or was it just you and asshole car driver who departed.
Hope you mend quickly and if there is bike shopping to be done good luck and enjoy, lots to be had out there.
We already know of one White S4Rs from this board that is up for sale as we type.
cheers
Matty...

Ditto on all of the above posts Dan - hope you're mending well, and sucks to be hit and run. Hopefully when you get to the cop station, a god citizen saw what happened and reported the offenders number plate.

+1 on all the sentiments expressed here.  And you get comments like a senior cop down here in the Herald Sun last week, according to him the statistics show that in crashes between cars and motorcycles, the motorcyclist is generally at fault the majority of the time!!! I kid you not, they actually printed this crap.  |

yeah hope you mend ok Dannog, I hate hearing of fellow bike riders hurt, esp monster riders. But unfortunately it seems to happen quite often, even after that ad campaign, people just don't look  . Anyway hope you get better quick and get back on a bike soon |

sucks to hear this. bad enough they run you off the road but to then to flee the scene is a low act.
I'm not sure about your local laws but I know there are generally short time limits to advise the personal injury insurer if the other vehicle is unidentified. I'm note sure how your state system works. It should at least cover your medicals and any time off work.
Reporting it to the cops is prob a good start.
I hope your back on 2 wheels soon enough.
