Front End Mods done in seconds..................... As I fly and flip in the air

[KaliDuke1]

 Going east on Sherman way (L.A. Valley), It's a major street, 3 to 4 lanes each way w/ middle divider/lane for both ways to turn left. There's a lady in a lexus facing east in the middle divider waiting to turn left, and a IDIOT in an old BRONCO facing west waiting to turn left (they're head to head). The BRONCO IDIOT wants to make his left a lil further ahead but can't go into his westbound traffic to get around her because it's a lil to backed up for him.

So this make the beast with two backsING IDIOT gets the bright idea to go head-on into eastbound traffic to get around... guess who's in the lane. Yep. I get on the brakes hard, but within seconds I was on ice skates. I managed to steer in between the IDIOT's truck and the lady's car, hit the side of his truck it knocks me into the Lexus, I come to a much quicker and painful stop then I planned... and so my flying lesson begins.

I land exactly on the top of my head, roll over, jump up from shock and adrenaline and precede to ask not so nicely WHY HIS make the beast with two backsING TRUCK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, DRIVING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. This clown jumps out the truck and runs up on me and screams. NO REALLY... HE SCREAMS... AT ME.

Oh Really. Now I'm about to KNOCK HIM THE make the beast with two backs OUT. But my right arm (Whole right side to be exact) wasn't going with the plan. I couldn't lift it to hit him.

By this time people in westbound traffic (remember it was backed up which is why the IDIOT made his genius move) are getting out and trying to calm me down. NOW THE PAIN HITS. Cops and ambulance called I go to the hospital. I'm lucky. I should be much worse for what happened.

For anyone questioning full face helmet...... Don't. There is no question.
I have the Shark RSR2 and it took all the force of me coming down on top of my head, and honestly all I felt was a lil bump. I remember the impact vividly. I would even go so far to say invest in a top of the line helmet 500+.
they're worth it. All that engineering that goes into what's inside isn't just a bunch of fancy words and BS.

Pics aren't very good but you get the idea.

Sorry to hear that man. Glad you are ok. What's the damage to you?

[Popeye the Sailor]

They er, make yer right side work at the doctors?


Please tell me they have the info on this asshat.

[Buckethead]

GAH! SUCK! 

Glad to hear you're at least okay enough to give us a recap!

How are you doing? You said your right side was non-compliant, which is a shame, because that guy truly deserved to have the everlovin' piss slapped out of him. Any broken bones? You gonna be able to hop back on when the IDIOT's insurance buys you a shiny new bike? 

Oh, and +1 on the helmets.

[707soldier]

Good to hear you're alright.

[KaliDuke1]

Thankfully no broken bones. I was truly fortunate.
Right side beat up, knees make the beast with two backsed up, but i'm movin around.
It's bruised, swollen with some road rash. I was wearing a baseball t-shirt. DUH!! Never again Folks.
At the least I'm wearing one of those armored shirt thingy's they have.

All info on THE IDIOT was recieved by the

Be xtra cafreful out there family. Expect the un-expected, because that sure was un-expected

[techno]

Your a walking ad for helmets. Can't understand why some people don't wanna wear them.

Glad to hear your generally OK if a bit bruised. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

Time for a new bike then?

[KaliDuke1]

Oh..... motorcycle boots are good too. I was wearing mine and they saved me from having really make the beast with two backsed up ankles and shins.
Could have been MUCH MUCH worse.

It doesn't get more "at fault" than what that jerko did.
Hope the healing goes well.

I can't believe the guy had the audacity to yell at you, what a total ASS!     It's a shame you didn't have a spoon handy.  Glad to hear you are alive.  +1 on the helmet, and +1 on the body armor for future purchase.
