I was out today running errands and had to do a turn around because I missed what I was looking for. turned into E-one in Ocala, turned around, and while waiting for traffic to subside Bamm!! I didn't even know what happened till I looked up and saw the front end of a pickup truck pinning my leg. had to tell the guy to back up so I could get my leg free. once to my feet I looked around to see a sheriff comming to the rescue (who says they are never around when you need them). so while the adrenaline was still kicking I was ok. as I started to relax my legs, knees, and right hip hurt like a bitch. (going to the hosp after talking to a lawyer tomorrow) I can walk but its more like a hobble. I can't believe my luck these days. anyway the bike has a bit of damage the r clip on has to be replaced lost some radiator fluid not sure if any damage to the radiator or if its over flow from being on its side. the whole R side fairings are thrashed, exhaust can has a dent so on, so on..... missed work today and more than likely tomorrow (sucks to loose all that overtime). got home and took the trousers off to see my banged up knees.. the left one looks 2 times wider than the right one does. this sucks.... getting a rental car tomorrow so I will go take some pics of the damage when I get out there. the good thing is I was doing all the right things I had my gear on, wasn't doing anything squidly, had blinker on... he got a ticket for not yielding.

That's cool to that the polce were a help and not a pain in the ass. Like you needed another.

But for the most part your o.k.? That's cool. What else can you ask for besides not getting into the shit. It could have been better but at least it wasn't worse.

Man, oh man! My friend got hit in the leg, and was barely able to keep it. He had to wear a halo on it for a year and a half. He's never walked the same again. I am glad you are okay. I hope you get feeling better soon, and sue the SHIT out of that a-hole that hit you. Maybe, it wil help his eyesight to lose a lump of cash! Good luck to you.
