    I hit a pedestrian

    This was a first for me.

    Was heading towards a red light in town when a young lady runs full speed in front of a stopped car, straight into the front left side of my bike. Her handbag swings around whacking me in the leg.

    I managed to stay upright and stop saying the 'S' word (Shit) while she bounced off the bike saying another 'S' word (sorry) and running away. Bit of a shock to the system, it all happened so fast. Didn't even get a chance to see if she was hot or not.

    Got home and looked for damage, fortunately there was none.

    What have I learned from this experience?
    I need a louder exhaust!

    Mrs Cajun

    Pedestrians miss everything. I once had a daft *itch run into the side of my bright green starlet and I was travelling around 50kph. Hate to think what would've happened if she had been a few seconds earlier

    nice aim for not seeing her running between those cars ... riding in Welly gives me the shits the way they behave on the footpaths.
