Re: Got nailed by a jeep today

I'm sorry to hear about your crash. Hope you heal up completely and quickly. Dad always said, "If you fall off a horse you need to get back on as soon as possible". Hope you get your new horse soon and are back to riding.

Got nailed by a jeep today

Sucks. Glad you came out of it relatively unscathed. I was cruising around the web and came across a bike group called Wet Leather. They had a very sad page called "in memoriam". I hope GZ250bike.com never needs a page like that.

Glad your injuries were not too serious and hoping you have a speedy recovery. Also thanks for the reminder about ATGATT. Hopefully you will be riding soon.

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

I'm not really sure to be honest - she just came into my lane out of nowhere

when she hit me my shoulder put a huge dent in the side of her bonnet and it buckled my handle bars so the bike went down with me still on it

I didn't get my foot out in time to dump it and roll so it slid along the ground with my foot under it

I'm getting a mechanic to look at it today so i can get a estimate for the insurance company

The funny thing is that she was an accident and emergency doctor

Thanks for all the replies and i'll let you's know when i'm back on two wheels!

Vii

Re: Got nailed by a jeep today

At least someone was on the scene to tend to your issues. Hope you heal soon. I try to drive paranoid, like I'm in a figure 8 race and everyone is trying to hit me.
