I used to wonder what would happen in such a situation. Well, today I had a chance to find out on my own: Not very nice experience. Hayabusa hitting pickup – hm… we all know which one is going to win – or do we???
Here it is – I am cruising at 35mph and there is a guy in silver truck joining the road from gas station. He was maybe 70m ahead of me, so I stayed on my lane. This idiot decides to swing into my lane at maybe 15mph and then starts to move to the other side. Bright spark like me is watching him like a hawk you never know, in case he gonna change his mind. So, guess what – he decided to make a U-turn (no indicators, no mirrors, nothing) at that time I was 5m behind him on the parallel lane. He cuts in front of me and I am facing middle of his damn car. I smacked those brakes, looking for escape route in the same time: Too late, no space. The only choice was to slide…lease: and pray. After I stopped I got up running to see my baby on the side. I have 2 words for all of you – CRASH BOBBINS!!!! I didn’t have those Thanks to all gear, I am ok – some scratches, cracked rib, fxxx leg, but other than that – gear did what suppose to do. Damages are purely cosmetic (I will need new side plastics and new paint job). Ladies and gents please ride safe.
