Got nailed by a jeep today
 

it finally happened - i got hit by a jeep changing lanes on a roundabout today

fortunately i'm an ATGATT guy

the lesson well learned here is to just assume everyone on the road is an idiot

the bike is pretty messed up along with my foot and elbow but it could have been much worse

Look on the bright side if you can :tup: His insurance is going to get you a lot better bike than yesterday. Happened to me when a 4x4 I was overtaking turned left into me without checking his mirrors. Even the stuff with existing scratches got replaced. :2tup: .BTW hope your injuries aren't too bad. :2tup:

Wow thats scary, glad youre still around to post. Feel better !!

Re: Got nailed by a jeep today
 

Sorry to hear that and glad you're alright.

Did you low side and slide like the racers do or did you just dump it and roll?

I also agree with Alan... it might time to get something a little more fancy ;)

Riding bikes is not a contact sport. Jeeps maybe. Glad you did not get too badly injured. I have always wondered why most folks have no idea how a roundabout functions. It has no moving parts, stays where it is built and still is a mystery to some of the population. It is merely a round intersection.

That sucks but glad to hear you're OK. The bike can be replaced. Just think, after you heal up and get something new, you can start learning about it all over again. But there will be no forum to learn from or hang out at better than this one. Don't go away, let us know how you are doing.

I also want to chime in and wish you well. The bike can be replaced, ... body parts can't.

After you heal, ... if you get another bike , ... I would like to hear from you what you get.

I hear a GZ is a highly recommended bike. :lol:
