Got Hit by a car on my way to work this morning

[Dockstrada]

Dannong this i one of the main reasons i have stopped riding on the road so much, not only do you need to trust your own ability , but you need to also trust the ability of others around you,

Glad your ok 

I hit a moth doing 250k/h yesterday didnt stop either,arsehole just wouldnt get out of the way,I  think it maybe the HID light  his guts are splatered  all over my jacket and tank

[Dannog]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I can't believe that it hurts more the day after the accident.

That was until my daughter took this photo this morning, it feels and looks like its twice the size of the other one



Called the insurance company today to lodge the claim and I've been chasing the police to call me with the details from the accident. By the time they got there I'd gone on the special bus trip to RPAH.

I saw this bike online, does anyone know it?

Don't know about the nurse but the woman who was producing the TV show RPA was unbelievably stunning! I now know why people agree to be interviewed when they're in so much pain.

+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. 

Why dont we all get issued with a sawn off shotgun, put that in the media, were all packin', if you make the beast with two backs with us, we gunna make the beast with two backs with you.
I bet we get a bit of respect then.....

Get well soon mate

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!

Good to hear you are OK.

Hate people not stopping... a woman hit a friend of mine while we were riding together and was trying to make it away with it. I chased her and then she told me that she didn't hear anything happening even though her car was all messed up. Now we found out that in the police report that she wrote she says that she came back herself!!! Wtf is wrong with people?
