headed to work yesterday...cager pulled out from a stop sign on my left and struck me. i saw her coming and tried to swerve around her, but there wasnt anywhere to go. hit hre front end on the drivers side...would have at the least taken out her headlight and indicator. got a massive scrape on my left leg, which is also in a cast due to unclear x rays. dont think its broken cos i walked off the road virtually unaided. right leg knee is sore as heck to walk on, so hard to get up to move around with the crutches. bike is totalled...from what i saw of her, the right hand bar is basically kissing the tank. dad said the pegs are bent, and one lovely gentleman who helped me off the road said the front brake is jammed on...they had a heck of a time getting her into neutral.
the cops and ambos arrived within minutes. ambulance staff were great, talking to me the whole time about tats and such.
i wish to extend thanks to all of the unknown people who helped myself and driver of the car and her kids, and also to the cops and ambulance people for doing such a good job. lawrence, thank you for waiting and flagging dad down to tell him, and to brian, thank you for covering for me! katrina, many thanks for sending sarah down and also for getting word to pascal that i was alive and trying to kick. i owe everyone who was there and assisted a beer. really reinforced that there are still good people around these parts!
