Well...almost a year from my last crash...another stupid F#*$ decides to not watch what they are doing and [email protected]#$ my S#$T up. Was about to buy a cowl for my 600RR from a member here but no... im doing 60 in a 55 *traffic was going that fast* and this chick that i went to highschool with is jabbering away on her cell phone in her daddy's bmw and boom. Amazingly enough...thats a 600RR. Im doing alright, bumped my head a bit, wearing a scorpion EXO helmet, full AGV suit, joe rocket gloves, and sidi boots. Yeah i dont match **** off. Gimped away from this one because i bailed off right before i hit and it clipped my leg, broke tib/fib which sent me flying into...a patch of wonderfully high grass that didnt give me more than 2 bruises and a broken right leg. *yay*. I'm nervous about how my leg will recover because in my last accident i tore tendons in my right ankle. Not to mention i stretched every tendon and ligament in my right knee. It feels fine, i guess, considering it was last december that i got hit...2 months after buying my first motorcycle right off the showroom floor. That was...*shakes head* the guy is 5 foot nothing and is 70 years old driving a 2003 monte carlo ss and decides to lane change hard enough to where i go flying over his car, and of course my bike and his car just fucked my leg up that was in between. And now im stuck, definately bikeless for a while.

Id have been giving that bitch sh!t for using her phone as soon as i clocked her. Guess dad's going to have a smashed up RR to go with his smashed up BMW. Id take her to court, isn't driving whilst on the phone illegal where you are? certainly is here. Couldn't that come under wreckless andangerment or something. I clean her the [email protected] out.

Sorry bout your bike tho, hope your ok

crazy people w/ their damn cell phones. Whenever I see someone jabbering away on their cell, I always put more distance in between us if possible... i don't trust ANYONE.

Hope everything heals quickly

How did you get hit? were you two going the same direction? did she pull out in front of you? from the look of your bike, looks like quite an accident
i hit the trunk when she pulled out infront of me...like i said went like halfway through the trunk basically, and started flipping and it ended up in a pole

i went OH SH$T and jumped off the bike, hitting my leg on the top of her car and landed in grass and slid probably 40-50 feet on my back

Already in the process, and yeah they're rich. Illegal for talking on the cell phone while driving...i think it is, not really sure My lawyer will figure it out. He did good with the last case LOL.

Well if he hit her trunk then I dont see how she could be found at fault. Here in Tennessee if you hit someone from behind its your fault regardless of conditions at the time of accident. Sorry to hear about the accident be glad your still breathin.

unless your vehicle is stopped... you get rear ended causing you to rear end the vehicle infront of you... then it remains the fault of the person that started the chain reaction.... now if you are rear ended while you are still rolling and then rear end the next vehicle the fault continues down the chain.... the guy that you is responcible for the damages to your vehicle and you of the damages to the one you hit.

yeah, thats how it is in OH, but in MI the law protects the ppl at fault. Yeah seriously. They are a "no-fault" state (i think the only no fault state...) and that basically means, that no matter who caused the accident, your responsible for your vehicle.

Oh yeah, and theres a limit on personal injury law suits. Like my buddy, who was t-boned when a drunk driver blew threw a red light and had to get tons of surgery, was on disability for a while, and basically almost lost his right arm, well he got f*cked cause you can only be awarded a certain amount, and what he was awarded barely covered his medical costs.

Be thankful you dont live in MI.

Glad to hear you made it out alive, I feel you with stupid drivers. The looks of your bike, it could've been a lot worse. It doesn't matter if you hit her rear, as far as I know in California the law is that you CANNOT make a lane change unless you can safely make one with 100ft of signaling. Don't worry about the lawsuit, she was on a cellphone which should constitute as reckless driving and making unsafe lane changes. Take care bro.
