... that I am easily able to lift my bike up on solid ground!
First, think of every single cuss word you can and put it right HERE.... that's how I feel!
While slowing down for a stoplight, this woman in an old Buick (or ford) sedan makes a right turn (into a right turn lane) and takes it wide..... pulling out in front of me in my lane! I had a split second to react and just jammed both brakes and did an endo! I didn't flip it, but it pulled the back tire off the ground and I did a stoppie for about 5 feet. As the back tire came down crooked, I ended up dropping the bike. I was able to save it from a complete hard drop but it still dropped it down on the left side. Needless to say I am fuming mad right now! Oh, of course... the woman didn't even stop! Nobody stopped to ask me anything! I was able to lift the bike back up very easily and quickly and rolled it into a gas station parking lot to look it over. On the street I noticed some green coolant fluid that leaked out (still unsure if it's mine or not). Anyway, I turned around and came back home instead of going to Burger King as planned.
All of this happened about 30 minutes ago!
The damage is very minor and I guess I'll be pulling out my color-rite paint pens to do some more re-touching... on my left side!
This has ruined my Sunday! I'm not even in the mood to examine the bike more right now... waiting for it (and me) to cool down a little.
Be careful out there, guys... cagers are evil!!!
FYI: I was wearing jeans, joe rocket jacket, helmet, no gloves. So I was partially geared, but not fully.
