dropped the bike.

[agfish18]

So I was riding home from a doctors appointment on the 1125R last night, when about 3 blocks from my house I am about to turn left at an intersection and a car blows through a stop sign. I couldnt see it coming because the sides of the streets were lined with work trucks as there was a bunch of construction going on nearby. Right as I was about to turn I noticed the car going way too fast to stop before the intersection. I locked up the front brakes and the rear of the bike came up, but as I was already leaning for the turn, the bike came down on it's side and landed on my leg. I avoided the car, and neither the bike or I took too much damage (broken mirror and snapped airbox cover and a couple scratches on the fairing). The car kept going and didn't stop, didnt get a plate number either. I laid on the ground pinned under my bike while a guy accross the street sat and watched me. He didnt offer to help, just watched. I finally pushed the bike off of my leg and picked the bike up. I didnt see much damage and I wasnt hurt, just a bit pissed. I actually have another airbox at home, and a set of bar end mirrors I can use until my stock ones are replaced, but still pisses me off. That kinda crap makes me want to hunt the bastard down and beat him with a blunt object.

thats really ****** up. especially for someone to stand there and watch you lay under your bike and not help you up. my brother has a similar incident a few weeks ago except the car hit him and took off. people need to learn how to drive and be aware of bikers. [mad]

 

[sk8ace]

bastard just sat there and watched... grrr some people...

Hope you can get everything fixed up!

 

[Midnight82]

Sorry to hear about your downing.

Praise baby Jesus in his little diaper that you didn't get hurt.

tiny 8lb 6oz baby jesus. Sorry man, what a bunch of a$$holes

 

[Paniller]

I'm tempted to get a helmet cam, just for this kind of thing

 

[Bolt]

Helmet cams might b a good idea, it seems some drivers don't want to take responsibility for their actions[mad]
Sorry agfish ,that sucks &whoever they are-karma may follow...

 

[flyeboy]

People who hit and run are loosely packed turds. Glad your alright. I say hunt em down, beat thier ass. Better yet, beat thier ass with the cell phone they were probably on.

Better yet, beat thier ass with the cell phone they were probably on.

[FOURTYGRIT]

The bike is still up and running, threw my stock airbox cover back on, and a pair of bar ends. Waiting on word of whether or not I can even get another translucent airbox cover. local dealer has none in stock (duh) and they say the Blue and Black Translucent covers are obsolete! (which I thought were stock on 08 XB9SX models??) Buellparts.net isnt sure IF they are getting any more, but I have an order in if they do. kinda ******. but oh well. such is life.

Glad you and the bike are fairly ok... ****** up how ignorant people are in this world... the guy that watched should be slapped as well
