Hit 'n run...

in the HOV this morning.  Going slow, so just cracked the fender, broke off the passenger peg, scraped the barend and tweaked the right controls (on the DR).  Slow enough that I kept my feet, unhurt.  Hit and run during the commute time on 520 is smart as hell - er, no witnesses there at that time of day!  Two stopped, and the cop has the guy's plate and address and will pay him a little visit.

Glad you're alright.  He is going to suffer as a result of his actions.  
"Leaving the scene" is a b*tch.  

Now we must wonder about the status of his insurance. . .

He lives in Redmond, and the car was newish.  I'll bet a good chunk of moola he's insured.  I think he's just a twat.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Where are those bike-mounted sidewinder missles when you need them? :guns:

RG....good to hear your ok. I mean dam....you'd think these idiots would look before they jump into the HOV lanes. My car was hit about two months ago by some idiot not looking first. I'm happy I was not riding that day. It was on 167 at the Valley Med off ramp area. Not much damage to my car but I was lucky. I'm just happy you did not get hurt......

Glad you're alright RG! Of course, you all realize that any money she gets will be spent on ANOTHER bike.. :lol: hope they really run him through the ringer.. I had a dream last night about a hit n run... weird..

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Glad to see you're unhurt. Know what kind of car it was?

I got the plate and the color, and the cop now knows what kind of car it was, the name of the guy, and his address, and will shortly know his insurance provider, I hope.

Sounds like a standard "Redmondite" late for work...   :roll:  Here's to him losing his license. :cheers:

Glad to hear you're OK and the DR is still rideable.  He should buy you a new bike and a whole new set of gear...  That f%$king @sshole.

Let's not forget a mandatory MSF class with a minimum of 20 hours riding on the street after the class. That should be followed by vehicle suspension for 6 month with only mcycle use allowed.

That'll give the driver a new prespective.

Jerk probably had the stereo cranking, watching a DVD, and talking on wireless while sipping his grande' latte' with cinnamon.

I am gratifed you got his data; very gratified.

I am even more gratified you are well RG. :thumb:

The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.

In Cricket the testicular guard, or Box, was introduced in 1874. The helmet was introduced in 1974. Is there a message??

The number the cop gave me goes to a place that keeps weekday hours, so I'll have to wait until Monday to find out what's up.
