I apologize for bumping this old thread. But I decided on bumping it instead of creating a new one.
I got hit by a car today while out riding my motorcycle. She came out of a parking lot and didn't see me. I managed to avoid hitting her head on, but the front end of her SUV clipped the rear end of my bike, sending my onto the side of the road where I was forced to eat dirt rather than hit a car parked on the side of the road. I'm pretty much ok, except for my ankle which was pinned under roughly 400 pounds of metal. I didn't break it but it's pretty swollen now and there's a nice big red mark right where the ankle bone is.
I just figured I'd let you guys know even though you probably couldn't care less.

Waitaminute. Are you trying to tell me that someone in an SUV wasn't paying attention to other drivers and others were made to pay a painful price?... Outrageous, sir.
No, but was she at least ridiculously apologetic and traumatized by it? Couple feet back and it might've been a one way trip. Glad to hear you're OK. Ice that ankle, take it easy on it too.

Glad you're okay! Fuck, you lucked out- go to a doctor (if you have not already) and have him check you out- a lot of serious injuries done become apparant (or painful) untill later.
Did she get a ticket? If so, your medical and any repair costs should be completely covered.
Was she talking on a cell phone? Seems a cell is surgically attached to all SUV drivers here.

The scrurge of riding a motorcycle, I have been cut off, hit, had people look right at me and then pull in front of me, it drives you crazy. People please watch for motorcycles, especially this time of year. Hope the ankle heals, sue the bitch's ass.

My bike's ok, just the turn signal indicators are bent. No, I didn't report it, nor did she get a ticket. My injuries aren't serious, in fact other than some stiffness and tenderness everythings good.
She was very sorry, She wasn't on a cell phone, she just didn't see me because it was something of a blind spot for her due to the way the road and parking lot are positioned. No harm no foul.
When I look back at it I had to laugh. because when she came up to me I politely asked her to lift my bike so I could pull my foot out from underneath. Then she gave me a smoke. She was a nurse at the correctional center I was riding past so she knew nothing was broken, plus about 3 other corrections officers were there.
I've seen a lot of dumbass drivers on the roads lately. People who run yellow/red lights just because they're in too much of a rush to get where they're going. I've seen people get cut off because the other guy was in a lane that was too slow. I've been stuck behind people who purposely drive in the 30's just so they or thier little rugrats can stare at me through thier rearview. People hav ehonked and sworn at me because I didn't run through the yellow light, forcing them to stop. Everywhere I go I see cars with smashed head/tail lights or huge dents in the doors because they or someone else was driving like a moron. Let's not forget that about 90 percent of the drivers here drive at least 10 kilometers faster than the posted speed limit. People ignore school zones, and cut pedestrians off. All this I've seen since I took my bike out earlier in April. It's scary. Especially for someone whose not safely tucked away behind 2 tons of metal.
I feel really lucky that I came out of that with only a bruised ankle and a couple hours worth of work on my bike. It's a 1981 Yamaha XS400 if you're wondering. And I am glad that you guys do care.

I've got a friend who's working in the US at the moment on hybrid cars. He rides a bicycle to work. Apparently the local squirrels are freaked out by this and sit by the side of the road and watch him ride past...
