    Zx9 Gets taken out by a Minivan

    Left this morning on my zx9 for a nice cruise. As i was turning into MacDonalds Red minivan decided to turn also. He hit me and i smashed into the side of the van, skidded and hit the curt. Thank God for the Sliders and my right leg becuase if not for those the zx9 may have been killed. I got a few scrapes and minimal damage to the bike. The guy was high as a kite and kept saying "I ride a bike also." I asked what the hell he was thinking and he said look my directional is on now. This just goes to show how stupid people really are. Good luck to the rest out there and becareful of all those ignorant f@#ks outhere.

    Doesnt mean a whole lot, I live in Mass, and I myself have been hit by 2 uninsured drivers in my car by Mass drivers.

    Why would you not have a cop called out, ESPECIALLY if he is uninsured HIGH too

    He will get a ticket, and will have the thing towed. Maybe we would have been lucky enough for him to get a revoked liscense. DUI, etc...

    You had the chance to take another bad driver off the road, or at least start his cycle of driving anyway and warrants being issued, etc, etc.


    Not flaming, just can't see how you basically did nothing

    UNder Ma law NH drivers have to carry equal insurance if they drive more than 30 times in Ma. MY wifes car was hit by a guy who lived in Nh , but worked in Ma. The police cited the guy for not having insurance among other things.THe cops told me this law has been on the books for a long time .but alot of Police Depts dont use it. THe cops told me it came about from some of the coastal towns like amesbury etc constantly dealing with uninsured NH drivers that work in Ma and get into accidents.

    its a shame that with an exhaust and a Bright Lime green bike all cagers have to say is, Gee I didn't see or hear you . "BULLSHIT"
    Too many close calls due to ignorant drivers. In one sense the bike still looks and rides fine now i need to relax the rest of the body.
