Foot will now be a pin cushion

I had someone pull out on me today and pull in to the left lane, then as I went to go around they pulled in to the right getting out of my way only to put themselves in it, then as I went back they went back.  I ended up avoiding them and going on the sidewalk and bailing just before the bike put itself under a parked truck.  Son of a pregnant dog.  I got up and fell right back down, since I broke 4 bones in my foot.  Gear held up great though and I probably would have mangled slop for a foot if it hadn't been for the Oxtars.  I would be pretty banged up if I didn't have my stuff.  No other part of me was hurt, just some little bones in my feet and a nice down to the bone gash in my shin, but I didn't cut my pants so I don't know what that is from.  I also don't know what or when in the accident I hit my foot.  and I had just changed the back tire.

SH1T man bad luck, hope you heal up soon, what about the bike? [bang]
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I couldn't tell whether it was make the beast with two backsed or not.  The triple clamp came off and the stock mufflers are toast.  The tank looked fine though.  It may not be too bad and at the very worst if there is a low buy back I should be able to part it out and do pretty well.

Glad to see that you are ok. Did the goon that pulled out in front of u stop?

Damn, sorry about your luck.  Keep us posted.

That really blows.  It worries me that the cager could drive away because, even though he caused the crash, he didn't actually contact you.  Hopefully he stopped, but it doesn't sound like it from your original post.  Heal up well.

fwtcc

No, he stopped and was cited for the accident.  So I have that going for me.  He tried to say I was flying @ 80 down a city road, so he is fighting the citation.  I had an eyewitness and common sense on my side.  I stopped rolling only a car length from where I jumped off, and had just passed a cop citing someone.  Oh and I barely have any other scratches on me.  That and I mostly ride like a sissy.  So I don't really see it being an issue.

Sissiness is your defense??? ;D


Seriously,  glad you survuved - and with so few things wrong.  Broken bones take a while to heal.  Hope the process is fast with few complications.  Good thing the guy stopped.  Citation helps your case. 

Keep us posted.  Sounds like time for mods 8)

Frickin' snow!
