As some of you may remember i bought Doc's bike from him. It is pretty awesome to ride and could not get enough of it. I ended up going for a ride this afternoon all around columbus. I ended up in Powell when i ran into an issue.
I came to a stop before Grace on 750. I am always pretty cautious at checking behind me to see what is going on. This time i wasnt able to react in time. As i was stopped a car came up behind me and nailed me. I am not sure of their speed but their reaction was none to zero. No screeching just a solid hit.
I flew off the bike and landed possibly on their hood and then onto the ground, i am unsure. I just remember two hits. I ended up with some decent back pain and sat down while some bystanders removed the bike from the ground and assisted me.
Police and EMT were fast on the scene and took me in. I ended up with some bruising, scratches and a very sore back and neck. thankfully i never leave without the proper gear.
My gear definitely saved me, and i am very happy to say it is still in almost new condition (no dents or scratches on the helmet) and padding from the jacket helped absorb the falls.
I am still a little shaken up but ready to get back out there. I havent seen the bike except little bits and pieces here and there. I am picking it up Monday when the lot opens up. I will get some pictures then.
Just remember to watch out for motorcycles and always be prepared for the unexpected.
