damn 740iL

[2FAST4ME1K]

Last night was my first real motorcycle accident....it fucking sucked....I'm too sore still to keep typing much but I really wish people in cars would pay more attention.....I'm so lucky to be alive and lucky I didn't lose my foot last night. The people at the hospital said they get soooo many motorcycle accident cases.....so please people pay fucking attention...we're out there and don't like hitting the ground :mad:

[Txstang1]

Glad you're ok dude.

[GREENMAN]

glad you're ok. story?

glad you're ok. story?


what he said

[2FAST4ME1K]

Here's the story...

I was riding home from starbucks about 10:15 last night, wife was a few minutes behind me picking up some mcdonalds for dinner. Cruising west down western center in the right lane and went under 35....spot a silver BMW pulling up the the right-turn yield to get onto western center. He slows, he stops, then whenever I'm about 25 feet away...he pulls out. I make an emergency lane-change, but then I see him actually cutting into that lane. By this time it was too late to do much of anything. I grabbed both brakes pretty hard, felt the tail start to come up and let off the front brake slightly, but at this point I was turned slightly...back brake locked, bike slammed down on my hip and my helmet hit the ground. I don't remember anything else for the next second or so, but the next thing I knew I had rolled a few times and saw my bike still sliding down western center, and the BMW driving off. Nothing even hurt at first....I was just happy I was still alive. I tossed my backpack into the median and ran to pick up my bike. I got it up and it wouldn't start at first so I pushed it next to the curb. A bunch of people stopped to help me, one of which asked if i wanted them to go get his tag. They came back and told me he was in the whataburger parking lot. I picked up my shit and got back on my bike...luckily it started this time, so i rode into the whataburger lot and stopped the guy. He said he never even saw me. We settled everything and I thought I was okay...the wife got there and helped me....then I called my buddy and my boss and both of them helped me get my bike and tattered ass home. As the adrenaline started to wear off....EVERYTHING started to hurt. I didn't realize how hard my hip and knee had gotten smashed. Ended up at the hospital for 5 hours...X-rays, CT scans, etc. Thank God nothing broken, no internal bleeding, just a bit of rash and bruising. Scary thing was that my set got me in the foot, i'm lucky it didn't puncture it. I'm just happy to be in one piece. It was one of the few times I've ever not worn my jacket...and I paid for it. Next time I ride i'm wearing boots and jacket every time. And that helmet saved my life...a 40 mph head slam could have sucked. Today I'm just sooo sore. And the rash bites.

Motorcycle accidents...definitely not high on my list of things to do more than once. The people at the hospital said I was very lucky....that I didn't fracture my pelvis...they also said I should have come in an ambulance based on the severity of the impact on my hip. Anyway I'm still sore as a mofo, i'm going to eat dinner and take some more medicine.

well dont get your dumbass on a bike, simple as that. bikes are dangerous! but if you dont mind getting almost or killed on a bike, then it's your own fault!

Why kick him while he's down?

The next time you feel like posting mindless bullshit and think adding the "just my .02" caveat justifies the bullshit proclamation, think again.

[gonzo]

damn dude im sorry to hear that... glad you are ok though

Wow, like you cant be hurt in a car wreck. So remember you above statement when someone pulls out in front of you and you hit them in your car. Be sure to post up on here so everyone can say well dont get your dumbass in a car, simple as that, cars are dangerous. It sounds like the guy on the bike was wearing gear and not acting a fool.

Sorry to hear you wrecked your bike man, glad you are ok.

WTF kind of statement is this? It's dumbass drivers that don't pay attention to what the fuck is going on around them that is biggest threat to motorcyclist. Now get the fuck out of this forum and go talk your trash somewhere else.

Glad to hear you are OK bro. Be safe out there guys and always keep an eye out way ahead of you.

Stupid Ass Newbie...go play and traffic.

Good to hear your just a little banged up.

I was tired of shit like that happening on a dialy basis thats why I sold my bike. I had already been layed up in ICU for a week 2.5 years ago because of some jack ass. I got to much to live for, about to get married and soon after that I hope to be having a child....Be safe out there yall.

[2FAST4ME1K]

Yeah i appreciate the thought everyone...except notchedstang....I'm sure u'll never ever get hurt in a car...it would have sucked in my stang too though. Again, I feel like I made out like a bandit with nothing broken. I wish I woulda been wearing my jacket to save myself from 50% of the road rash, not that it would have saved my hip from some bruising majoro. This just proved to me....it doesn't matter how careful you are...shit happens. I did everything I was taught and still got a bit hurt...but at least I'm still here. And I can't help but think how bad it would have sucked if I had hammered it under the bridge...coulda been going 90 instead of 50...stupid prolly woulda killed me. Everything happens for a reason...I learned a lot from this, so maybe it was meant to be. And hell yeah i'll be back up on 2 wheels whenever I get un-sore and un-rashed, just need a new helmet and want to pick up some Sidi boots so I can protect my feet and ankles a little more. Thanks for the thought everyone just pay attention and be safe out there! Hospital bills are a biznatch and you only have one body!

<----- Slaps forehead

So you were wearing a helmet but no jacket? Hope you are in a habit of wearing gloves along with the helmet.

<----- Always geared up as much as possible. Rather sweat than bleed.

[notchedstang]

well alteast i'll have metal surrounding me in a car instead of nothing on a bike, i think the kill ratio on a bike is alittle higher then inside of a car. :rolleyes:

I think its pointless to cry about being hurt on a motorcyle, well wtf do you think is gonna happen you live in dallas and riding a bike. i mean c'mon doesnt take a genius to figure that one out.

Look asshat. I know we are supposed to be nice to punk ass newbies but don't expect to come in here with your anti-motorcycle rhetoric and not expect to people to agree with you.... or like you. Your in a motorcycle forum talking smack about people who ride motorcycles. I don't care for that. Get the fuck out or I'll give you a hand in doing so http://www.dfwstangs.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/10134/bigfinger.gif

Well I had one friend die in a car accident and one friend quadraplegic from the same one, cock clown. And I'm not crying, I'm telling my story and stating that I learned from it and dumbfuck cagers like yourself don't pay any attention when you're driving. Thats all I'm saying. If you are just trying to sound smarter than me or something then you're just coming off as an asshole. You don't ride, good for you. And by the way, I don't live in dallas. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out that you're just some small-dick stuck-in-high-school moron that likes to trash talk other people over the internet. Go you. You're cool now. But unless you have something constructive or supportive to say about my scary experience, FUCK OFF. You're not wanted here....go be a bitch somewhere else. :rolleyes:

Yeah it was one of the 2 days I have ever not worn my jacket. I WAS wearing gloves though....thank goodness....gloves got torn up...

How did the gloves hold up? What brand and style were they?

[notchedstang]

hell for example i was going down preston today and had a fuckin crotchrocket cut right in front of me to goto the damn mall. i had to slam on my breaks or i woulda hit the cocksucker, then he would have gotten on the internet and cried that someone ass ended him and it's my fault!

That's why i have no respect for anybody on a sports bike they are idiots.

Your a fuckin FAG
Its people like you on this site that piss me off,grow up man. :mad:


BTW glad 2 hear your alright man....

[Whitesmoke]

glad to hear your OK man. a jacket probably would have helped, but you know that. i know ive gone with out mine once or twice and even wore shots once when i was a newbie rider. get yourself healed up and back on the road.

and notchedstang go spew your uneducated rhetoric somewhere else. I drive a semi and i cant count how many people just pull right out in front of me like im not there. cagers just don't fucking look most of the time. they are too caught up in their own lives to care about anyone else on the road. and just as an example if my truck was to hit your car doing 50 that metal your in wont do shit for you except make it harder for the fire crew to get to your body. the streets are not safe regardless of what your in or on. you might as well get some enjoyment of being on the road while your out there.

and thats not even how i really feel, if i said what i wanted to you id get a 5-7 day vacation and your not worth it

or maybe he just would have beat you afterwards....we can always hope..

[Neiladin]

man, people hardly ever look right there at that intersection. i cant count on both hands and feet how many times ive gone to visit Craizie and Ktulu's house and almost got hit by some dumbass not yielding at that sign. they just dont look, ever. and im pretty sure ive almost been hit by a silver 740, too. maybe now he will actually start looking having seen what actions like his own will do to someone.

[kc50lx]

Motorcycle accidents...definitely not high on my list of things to do more than once.
that's what i said after my first wreck.

i too wasn't wearing a jacket (helmet saved my life though) during my first wreck, it always seems to work out that way. at least you learned to always wear your gear no matter how close or far you are going. my gear saved me from a lot of painful road rash after my second accident. just be careful out there and get to feeling better.

ohh and to add one last thing. i never ride in the right lane if i can avoid it. a friend's dad had a pretty nasty accident from your same scenario. the lesson i learned from him is to never ride in right lane. they always seem to say "I have never him coming" and get away with little or no damage or consequences. so maybe everyone will learn from your post to not ride in the right lane if you can avoid it.

you mean this guy still hasnt got banned yet? :confused:


glad to hear youre okay and learned from your mistake. i didnt see anything about what happened with the bimmer? did you get all his info, call the police, anything?

[2FAST4ME1K]

The guy in the bimmer is a business type, paying for everything. I'm tired of responding to notchedstang's stupidity so enough of that---somebody pulled out in front of MMMEEEE, not the other way. Try some reading rainbow or something dumbass, you obviously lack any comprehension skills. And i personally believe that anyone who can't spell "BRAKES" is an idiot....not anyone on a sportbike....dipshit.

Eviljose---the gloves are the Joe Rocket ones with the GSXR logo on the wrist and the plastic knuckle protectors. They held up great, as did my helmet. My hands definitely woulda been thrashed if I wasn't wearing gloves. All the reinforced parts of the gloves were what hit...guess they're designed that way, lol. And my helmet lost a few chunks where my head hit the ground but it definitely saved me. Bike got more fucked up than I thought though :( My buddy told me last night that it didn't feel right at all on the way home, he just didn't wanna upset me more right after the wreck. After my hip heals up I'll take it for a test ride and see what I feel...that won't be for a couple of weeks though, at least.

[ScottJ]

Best luck on a speedy recovery bud!

I had a similar deal, back in 02 on my then 2 week old 02 R1. They 'just didn't see you' because they didn't take the time to CONFIRM it was safe to make a traffic decision. This is always the case, same thing I got.

Funny, since then, I slow at intersections were other vehicles are able to make traffic decisions, and watch. Not fool proof, alas...

[2FAST4ME1K]

lol. I'm glad there are plenty of supportive people on here, and the dumbass to intelligent person ratio is just right for a little entertainment. I'm doing a lot better now...exercising my hip helps a lot. Stay safe out there everyone!

[cbrjames]

Riders stick together bro. Glad your doing better.

[Dragonfly]

You have now experienced the most common motorcycle accident, the one caused by a car turning in front of a motorcycle that has the right of way. I hope you get healed up soon.
