Scruit Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Black 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa ridden by a 34yo male from Marysville.A black fullsize pickup hauling building matierials shed part of its load (described as "building materials ... the size of half a drywall sheet") in the lane in front of the rider. The debris bounced off the road, struck the headlight/windshield of the bike and then hit the rider square in the visor, causing a minor neck injury. The rider was able to get the bike stopped otherwise safely on the shoulder. Was transported to DMH by EMS for minor injuries. Expected to recover.The pickup did not stop. No suggestion was made that the driver was even aware of the accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedTriple44444 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Again^+1. He and that guy that kept it up when he got his leg broken after a deer ran into him up in Canada are hereby nominated for a Chuck Norris Badass award. I, however, will be nominated for the run-on sentence award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Not only did he keep it on its wheels while getting to the shoulder, he stated that the impact of the drywall made him black out. He took a half-sheet of drywall to the face at freeway speed which left him dazed enough to black out and not form memories after the impact, and STILL got it to the shoulder safely...Someone needs to reach out to him and give him the Badass OhioRiders Biker award. BOB for short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Wow...reason 101 to wear a helmet. No helmet and he's probably worm food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary#17 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Wow. Thank God. Too many sad stories lately. Nice to hear of a good outcome. Amazing save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have no doubt that a 4x4 sheet if ANYTHING smacking you in the face at freeway speed would probably be fatal to a helmetless rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I took a frog/toad to the shin one day. I was quite surprised that it hurt as much as it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Wow. Thanks for the followup Scruit.Another reason to NOT follow to closely in traffic on the highway!You need time to react to situations. I'm always afraid if I'm too close to traffic in front of me on the highway I won't be able to reactto road debris if the car swerves out of the way of a chunk of tireor something at the last second, or worse yet, kicks it up at me!Glad he is gonna be okay.

ReconRat Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Having had crap hit me and flat tires from unsecured loads on trucks...I don't follow too close at all. I really back off and change lanes when I see one.I had a rock about inch in diameter hit me square between the eyes on the sunglasses (polycarbonate), from a flatbed truck. Very close to knocking me out. So much fun. Yes, that gave me a headache. And we were both going the same direction, whodathunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
