I just wanna say F**K YOU! who ever you were in the black SUV, you made me lowside and almost killed me. i could have been ran over by another car. my bike did 360's all the way to the intersection and thank god it's still in one piece and ride-able.

and to those people who didn't help me pick up and 300+ pound bike thanks for just going around me. geez people these days.

 

WOW >> are you serious?? im glad your ok.. yeah people dont like helping others to much these days..

 

Ouch that sucks, I was once hit and ran by a student driver while being instructed. I was on a 10 speed nonetheless I know how you are feeling. At least my people were caught 5 minutes after it happened. I hope you are alright and hopefully someone notices the paint missing on the black suv and reports it. Or they report it themselves,

Dam, where did this happen? did you sustain any serious injuries?

 

it happend when i was going home from school, on hesperian in hayward. i'm alright, my leather jacket saved my elbow. i'm just glad that my helmet didn't get messed up cuz i just cashed out for it! but the bikes down, my engine cover cracked and oil was leaking everywhere.

 

damn that ****ing sucks. i woulda helped if i saw that happen. were u able to get a good look at the plates?

 

Man, I naturally will stop and help by instinct, and if I don't, it will haunt me for a very long time.

What the hell is wrong with people? Why wouldn't they stop to help? I just don't understand how selfish and lame people can be. Makes me mad just thinking about it.


I hope the SUV that hit you rolls on an off ramp sometime soon. What a bastard.

Glad you're OK man, just be glad that you're alive and well enough to post about it here! This could have happened very differently.

Say a prayer tonight man.

 

it happened all so fast i didn't catch the plates. while i was sliding i saw the car break then just kept going.

 

Assuming your a woman, it can be pretty tough to pick up you bike, especially after a lay down. Good to hear your ok, Karma will deal with the people who wronged you.

What kind of bike is it? I lowsided my bike on the track and my cover took the slide without busting.

 

glad to hear youre ok. be careful out there. at least you made it out in one piece. you can fix or get another bike. your life is way more important than a few thousand dollars.

i was riding around story rd and 101. not only was traffic on the city streets, but there are some idiots on the road around there. two guys in a beat up early 90's accord was trying to match my start off from a light. at the next light, i lane split to the front while they had to wait in traffic.

RIDE SAFE. BE SAFE

 

Thats effed up. I always try to stop if there is an incident like that near me. ESPECIALLY if it's someone on a bike bc it's so easy to get messed up bad. Sorry to hear that man. Just be thankful ur ok and I hope karma catches up to that f@$kface that hit u.

 

when i took my helmet off that's when someone FINALLY stopped for me. "oh its a girl!" i have a r6 i dropped it once on the engine cover trying to move it. so i'm guessing that it was already scratched and the lowside made it worse.

 

sorry...

i know it wasnt you but i did see a biker dump it (he was being stupid) and i just drove on by as he was struggling to pick it up...

mainly cause i didnt want to cause more of a back up by adding my car to the problem

.......... BUT im not a total a** i once pushed an old lady's stalled car off to the side of the road during rush hour

 

There are ignorant people, and there are people who just plain didn't see you. Gotta ride defensively considering ANY car around you probably doesn't see you. There are others like I remember a post on BARF when a lady just plain told a motorcycle rider that while in her SUV, she isn't looking for bikers, or things that small. She's looking for other vehicles, and unfortunately she just doesn't pay attention to motorcyclists or consider them near her (ignorant, but truthful). Obviously people drive like asshats all the time and because you're on the bike, (even if it was their mistake) you are the one that will always be injured. Ride safe and defensively.

Your bike is easily picked up by the correct method. Even a small girl can do it.



If you're on BARF, I think you would have known how to pick it up as there are helpful newbie guides on there.

 

yea it was just kinda hard cuz oil was leaking and i stepped in it so my foot was slipping like crazy.
