Did you miss the part where \\;she drove off after she almost killed him? I think I'd be pretty pissed!

Jeesh, I can't believe some of you people, I'm sure glad you all are perfect drivers and never made a mistake and never didn't see somebody and pull out in front of them. \\;\\\\\\; Some of you guys act like because you are on a bike he should have got up off the ground ran over to the car and shot the lady for making a mistake. \\;\\\\\\; Give me a break, just be thankful nobody was hurt any worse then they were and all walked away..

Wingit she drove off after looking!!!! That is a crime and yes he should be pissed. Maybe you havn"t had that experience yet but you can't always avoid those moves. BE SAFE they are all trying to kill us!!!

RE: Went down for the first time :(
Glad to hear your ok and thats all that happened. I went down cause a car popped out from behind a parked car and startled the crap outta me! Locked up the front brake on an old patch of road paint AND was on a downward slope. I tore up the paint on my fender, put a dent in my tank and scratched the Front master cylinder bad. Other stuff broke too, but those were easy to replace. Factory paint on the other hand...

No of course she should not have drove off after that, but maybe it was to late for me and I didn't see the part where she drove off after it happened.
Where did it say that.?
Well I guess it was bound to happen eventually (been riding about 6 years). Lady pulled in front of me and proceeded to slam on her brakes, causing me to lock up and go down. \\;\\\\\\;Sprained my right ankle and have a little road rash on my shoulder and knee (about 35mph). \\;\\\\\\;Bike is mostly ok, engine guard and saddlebag guard is scratched, as well as the lid (popped open when I hit I guess). \\;\\\\\\;Everybody be safe out there!

It doesn't say anywhere in the post that she "almost killed him". Actually go back to the first post. There is more talking about the damage on his bike then him being hurt. I agree, some of you guys need to relax a little. Think the screaming and yelling does any good? \\; Get a clue.

I went down the first day I rode my first bike...
 \\;
People always say that its a matter of when, not if....so I guess I got it out of the way right off the bat...bent my pipes at the tip end, leather burned my thighs pretty bad.
 \\;
Glad you are ok and the bike will make it through.
