PATRIOT

coming home from work today I introduced myself and my bike to a new ladie, we not so much her but the side of her car.
I was going down the right side of all the banked up traffic when when i was level with the back of her car she decided that she wasnt happy sitting in traffic and decided to pull out and use the side street over unbroken lines.
( we were both in th wrong ) anyway I hit her or she hit me and stop me from a grind 60kph to zero in about 1 second .
I managed to get the bike sideway and my left side from my shoulder , back , hip and knee took the full brunt only to be followed up by the weight of the hayabusa .
I smashed her mirror off with my index finger which isnt broken but slightly dinted and tendon damage and a real lot of soreness down my left side .
She and i went around the corner together as i had no choice and she was panicing and kept her foot on the throttle , we stopped and i hopped of she was worried about me , i said i am sore but ok .
a few bystanders came over to see if i was ok , which i was as i stayed on the bike , and one bloke a rider who saw it said he thought i was going to go right through it i hit her that hard .
anyway my yoshis copped the brunt of it as well running down her car ( cosmetic damage to it ) and my body saved the rest of my bike,
She doesnt want to go through insurance and just wanted to let it go , i exchanged details with her anyway just incase because it seemed fishy and left .
I got up around the corner feeling pretty shaken and sore , and i went around at the lights to find all the traffic banked up , so i rode around it and infront was a girl under her bike , so i stopped and helped her , we got her bike off the road with the help of a car driver and saw that she was ok , and when she left ( worked around the corner ) i rode home and too the medical centre to get my finger looked at as i could pull the clutch properly .
Paying for it now , was glad that the bike was relativaley unscathed , but 15 hours later the body doesnt think so .
2 down in 2 blocked and to top it off someone nearly hit me in the medical cebtre carpark .
Bikes in the garage and i will stay off it for a day or two until saturday when i have to go to work , only because th eleft side is to sore to get on the peg and the shoulder and back leaning over.
stay safe out there everyone .
