Zoner1320 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 So i am getting gas in my bike at our local gas station today. Kinda mindin my own business when I notice this car out of the corner of my eye trying to manuver into position to get gas. I was looking at the car thinking to myself where the hell is the driver of the late 80's to early 90's crown vic. I see the car moving but no driver. Then I see the dents and scratches on the back bumper obviously a cleveland yellow pages would probably fix the old ladies issue. Then I see the rear bumper rapidly approaching me at a decent rate. Mind you the nozzel is still in my tank and I am sitting on the bike. Obviously there was not enough time for me to yank the nozzel out and begin to move my bike. The damn old lady is still backing not hearing me screaming to stop nor feeling me kicking the car. she backs right into me pinning my right leg between my bike and her car causing me to lose balance and knocking my bike and i right over the kickstand. The bike landed on my foot so now I have a car that is pinning my leg on my right and on the left my bike has my foot on the ground. She then stops gets out of the car looks to see what she hit cuz she felt a thump. in the meantime a state trooper just pulled into get gas as well and see this going on. Tells the lady to move her car. someone had called the Fire department (just so happened to be the one I work at) The lifted the bike off my leg. Broke some toes on my left foot and my bike has a few scratches, but for the most part just another statistic of the old cager not paying attention. Yeah I am pissed about the bike, but it could have been way worse than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey1 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Glad to hear it wasnt worse then what it was. I had a guy back into me once so I feel your pain. It is a helpless feeling when you are honking and walking backwards as fast as you can on a bike just to have them hit you. Same freaking deal with me. the old bastard gets out to come back. I started yelling pull forward damnit! As I tell my wife, I am very confident of my skills and abilities on a bike. The only thing that worries me is senior citizens!

NightRider Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I don't have issues with old people....but that would have really pissed me off. Getting your bike knocked over, plus some broken toes out of the deal....jc. Glad you made it out ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOW Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 glad you're OK for the most part.. Curious as to why anyone would fuel their bike while sitting on it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 IMO this is why you should get off the bike when you're filling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 glad you're OK for the most part.. Curious as to why anyone would fuel their bike while sitting on it though?Glad you're ok.In regards to the quote above, gotta wonder if there is a static discharge possibility like with cars, you never wanna get back into your car when fueling. But I guess if you were on the bike the whole time and never got off then there would be no possibility for static right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I think people should have to take a driving test every year after 70. There are too many old people on thee road that have no business being there.Glad you are OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoner1320 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I fuel my bike sitting on l because I can get more gas in it then you can when it on its kick stand. It will over flow faster when its on the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
