Twistedrx7 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 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. Cliffs got hit from a dead stop in the rear flew off bike Went to hospital everything looks good, no broken bones, just sore, buised and road rash bike didnt look good but will post pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Really glad that you're okay, obviously bikes can be fixed or replaced. This type of thing always worried me on a bike, you can react to a lot of things that happen in front of you but some idiot not paying attention is so shitty because there wasn't much you could've done. Get to feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I've had nightmares of getting hit while at a stop on my bike. If I had to name a #1 fear that would be it. The bike can be replaced, you're a very fortunate man to have walked away for the most part unscathed. Good to hear you had gear on as well, hopefully this is a lesson to other riders.

Versluis Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I hope you have a speedy recovery. I was in that traffic today and it was a matter of time before someone got hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fuck That's one thing I fear to no end on a bike, last summer someone 5 minutes from my place was killed like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Scratches or not on your helmet, replace it as its been in a wreck and is the only thing saving your noggin from becoming soup! Glad you are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Scratches or not on your helmet, replace it as its been in a wreck and is the only thing saving your noggin from becoming soup! Glad you are ok. I agree. I was always thought that if your helmet ever takes a bump equivalent to dropping it knee high that it's structural integrity is questionable from then on. Spend a couple hundred more of his insurance money to buy a very nice helmet. Great to hear that you walked away from this. I live in fear every day that my brother and my dad may experience this same type of accident. Unfortunately because they are your stereotypical Harley owners, they wear no gear and do not debate it. I no longer own a bike because of my accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Bikes don't scare me....it's what the other idiots on the road can do. Sad to hear about the wreck but GREAT to hear you'll be OK! If Thorne and anyone else gets better riding equipment as a result of this, be happy to know that your situation may save other people's lives one day...

TTQ B4U Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 get paid???? WTF dude, accidents happen! I'm glad Jake is ok but people that are sue happy just drive me crazy. perhaps, but long term injuries often pop up years later and honestly, being married to a lawyer, yes I'm biased, but people who cause accidents are liable. there's way more to such an incident than covering the costs of a bike and some medical bills. settlements on things like this are often pretty hefty.
