please look out for motorcycles

[longcast]

hey guys just a reminder to please take the time to look for motorcycles.i was heading south on common when i passed the intersection of common and prien lake.a group of young guys in a ford ranger were heading north and then turned left in front of me.i was on a yamaha r1 and hit them in the passenger door.i flew over the truck and slid about 15 yards on my arms and back.just for ****s and giiggles the driver of the truck has no insurence.i am just going to be out of a motorcycle.i have health insurance so my medical will be paid but i will prob lose out on the bike.once again take the time to look for motorcycles.MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE.

thats pretty much what I had in mind It seems after you have your insurance a little while,the ins. co. will send you your little card before you send in your payment. Therefore you have a card that makes you look legit,without even having the insurance. go figure.

Me too.......but as soon as we had our little boy, the bike did not matter anymore.....i was a changed man. I live for that boy, so I stay away from some of the more serious risks now-a-days!!

man i dont know.he had a insurence card but when i placed the claim they called back and said it was cancelled.he was able to drive away in the same vehicle.anyone could be his next victim.i bet he still does not have insurence and is still driving.

glad your ok...sucks that the guy didn't have insurance.....i sold my bike last year..i finally realized that no matter how good of a rider i am..it will never protect me from idiots..

[bay_slayer]

Dang..........my wife is just the opposite............she loves the boats but isnt into the bike thing so much. that must kill you not being able to hold your little girl. My little boy is 2 and loves to get in the boat......so i have no problem with having boats!

[longcast]

my boy loves the boat.just has no interest in fishing.he likes to go fast in the boat,one day i was wide open which is only 40mph but he wanted to go faster.he is just like my brother in law.a stunt man. my brother in law is a real good stunter on the bikes.he can do tricks that are totally awsome.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear about that.
People still driving around without insurance. (Unbelievable)

[bay_slayer]

Dude that sux........i wish you a speedy recovery

[Montauk17]

wow man that sucks...glad your ok. One of my best friends had the same thing happen to him but he wasnt so lucky. He was doing about 50mph when a old man pulled out right in front of him. His bike looked like it went into a crusher and he broke just about every bone on the right side of his body. He was very lucky to be alive,but his right arm is paralized because of nerve damage. It does not matter how good you can ride dude,there are WAY too many idiots on the road. Hope you feel better soon,and think twice about getting another bike dude. Give me a ring tomorrow....maybe we can hit some fall trout in big lake when you get better.

Dude, that sux. I actually saw you right after it happened, you were sitting on the side of the road with your arms out and a cop and an EMT were looking at your rash. Your bike looked pretty trashed. Glad that you are ok for the most part, sorry about the insurance biz, I have seen much worse results from bike on truck collisions.
