    Crashed

    Yup crashed the other day, I was on my way to work and the traffic was bad so I decided to take the back roads into town to work. The road I take is basically a straight-away, so i was about to turn down a road that I take to get into town and around the bend were 2 cars (mishubishi eclispe + ford F-150) racing doing about 90 mph and the truck was in my lane (on coming traffic) and basically playing chicken with me as he was racing the eclipse. I was doing about 45 mph so he came close to me pretty quick and he wasn't gonna move so I had to dump my bike. I wasn't wearing a jacket so I got 2nd degree road rash on my arm to the point where my skin is black from the heat of the tar. I ended up letting go of my bike because it was going into the woods and i ended up rolling on the pavement. Both cars saw me crash about 45 yrds in front of them. they didn't stop they just slowed doen to the speed limit and got back into the right lane. I filed a police report and got all bandaged up but still kids on Cape Cod have nothin else better to do I guess....fucking idiots.

    Hope you feel better soon. Are you going to have to get skin grafts? If it's small patches try the 2nd skin stuff. It worked for me last summer, I don't have any scars. (And I scar really bad)

    Can't believe they didn't stop. Friggin dumb asses.

    Holy shit, You choose the best "out" of that situation, really sucks that you had to put the bike down, but If you didn't? That could have been a killing situation. Glad you didn't get any more injured.
    I hope some how they can catch those fuckers, they are completely at fault and should be arrested and fined for leaving the scene of an acident they caused...

    Speady recovery Spence. Get back on the saddle soon!

    WTF......sorry Spence. Glad to see your sitting typing though. Rash is painful but the skin will heal. Goes to show how little people respect others safety. Heal quick bro. As an aside.....how'd the bike fair?

    Well to answer a few questions about what happened.....
    No i didn't get the plate #s but I gave the police a really good decription of the 2 cars about every detail, i was more worried about how i was going to lay my bike down on purpose (i have never done it) then stare at their plates but I believe i have seen the cars before and they are local. I talked with my friends parents who are both EMTs and they told me that I had 2nd degree road rash burns and tar in my arm which they ended up removing for me, they said it should heal within a couple weeks. As for my bike I thank god that i was on the team this year and fixed all those crashed bikes (thanks Gary) because i ended up fixing my bike myself so that its street legal enough....broke off a mirror completely, lost left side peg, both blinkers (fixed), decent amount of cosmetic damage, bent handle bars(fixed), knocked the rear wheel out of alinement (fixed), wind sheild half off(fixed).
    My bike ended up hitting the pavement then sliding into the woods, i just kinda hit the pavement and almost rolled out in front of the truck. "what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" i believe i handled the situation correctly in my opinion see how its never happeded to me and the only other option was getting hit my a truck head on. The police are gonna call me down to identify when they believe they have found it and i will recongize it. I found out though that i wont get any $$ from the insurance company because i intentionally crashed but im just lucky to be alive, the bike can be rebuilt.....but i would like to buy a new one.

    Oh my god guy... man that sucks that this happened. As far as that whole insurance deal, thats such a crock of shit. I cant belive that. People have insurance to cover there asses to help protect everyone involved (not just self) and they still get screwed. Of course you had to "intentionally" crash or like you said, you might of ended up dead...and they arent gonna compensate you for it??? Either get another insurance company, or try to take then to court maybe???
    Heal quick man cause we gotta endurance race to pit for!
    Hope you can make it up for it guy...

    You can go after them in civil court, and go after any assets they or whom ever the vehicles are registered to.. Call a good laywer.. That's my opinion, some might not like it but these asses should pay

    You didn't intentionally crash did you? You just tried to take evasive action and couldn't keep it upright, right?

    How the hell can the insurance company not help you? If you were on that road all by yourself and crashed they'd be writing you a check.
