While driving on my way to visit the woman. I'm driving down the street and this person in the oncoming traffic lane is driving (according to people this person was driving like an ass prior to the incident) and they suddenly without a blinker just cut left and cut me off trying to make a turn. Person sees me through the turn, and i noticed to try to get around the rear of the person's car but they decidecd to stop dead in my lane. i was already trying to brake hard hoping they would accelerate and leave me room to go around the rear but they didnt.
so i was probably like 15 ft away from the intersection before they just sped up and turned without stopping or signaling. ended up hitting the back end of the car and going over the handlebars, over the length of the car and the bike followed. shoulder took initial impact, then back and legs and hands. then bike lands on my legs. 30 or so people stopped to help. 10 witnessed the person not stop. worst of all person fled the scene. no plate number, no partial plate number. i went to get checked out, just bumps bruises, tiny rash, right hand is killin, and a lot of soreness.
helmet didnt touch the ground, jacket not a scratch on it. gloves ripped in the palm. bike damaged. i'll get pictures later.
just lets everyone thank the asshole that fled the scene. obviously his insurance rates are more important than my well being.
Now that was from monday night. Little update is that the police found the cars that chased the person but they couldn't get any of the information of the vehicle.
Appraiser came by and checked out the bike, he tried to say it was mostly cosmetic even though the bike won't start and they are cutting me a check for 4400, and now I'm bringing it to my mechanic to see if that will be enough.
Lesson for everyone, don't even bother riding near the city of chelsea.
