    Me vs Car!

    I was hit by a car this morning on Piekok Hill!
    Going round a right. Car came wide. Thought to myself... "Whats this thing up to...? OH SHIT!!" Saw the driver close their eyes and brace for impact!
    Couldnt believe what was about to happen.
    I picked the bike up, but was too late. My forearm still hit the front piller.
    Made it past, then still had to make it round the bloody corner! Managed to get round and stop.
    Smashed my mirror, but other than that, not a scratch on the bike!
    Cant decribe how lucky I am. An inch to the right, and i would have been
    taken out.
    The force on my arm should have broken it, but somhow it didnt. God bless
    armour!
    Im ok, just a bit shaken. Will take it easy riding home tonight thats for
    sure!
    Im ok by the way. Stayed on the bike.
    So yeah, the bikes ok too.
    Deffinatley have someone watching over me!

    P.s. Women Driver... Silver car. (didnt even see what type it was!)
    She didnt stop, i didnt see the number plate.

    Stay awake out there people!
    Motorcycing is not a hobby, It is a way of life!

    Missed forever! NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
    LIVE ON MY FRIENDS!

    Thank god you are ok. I had a similar experience but ended up on the ground.

    Sucks that people will not stop for something they caused and must be aware of what happened.

    Cool

    Wow well done mate, I bet you are a bit shaken.

    Hard to understand why she didn't stop, really shocking to hear.

    Rest up.

    Cheers

    Jeez, a good advert for armour, glad you wern't hurt. However I guess if bus drivers in auckland, professional drivers I will add, can get away with driving off after killing a guy then your 'attacker' must have figured she didn't need to stop either.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Glad to hear you're OK. Gives you a hell of a scare - there isnt much time to react...

    Samething happended to me in Sept last year.
    Went around a 55k right hand sweeper and was confronted with half a Mazda 6 wagon on my side of the road. Stood the bike up and clipped his drivers side wing mirror with my right hand and had it run up the side of his car. Managed to control the bike and pulled over. Hand my sister in law on the back!

    Quasi Glove saved my hand. Glove armour was completley smashed. Would have broken every bone in there if I hadnt been wearing them. Little finger shredded but lucky we got it to A&E and surgery in time for them to fix it up. All good.

    Feck - glad you are OK and almost had that happen there a couple of times but i doubt I'd be a talented as you and avoided perm damage...

    Seriously - I'd report it to the POLICE asap before she does....
