Lucky escape, chap taken from behind (cross post)!
From Advrider.
Guy involved, kdude, escaped relatively ok  "Last year while riding in the Florida Everglades I got hit by a car doing approx. 90 mph. I was puttering along Aligator Alley just touring looking at the gators on the side of the road and then all hell broke loose. I got off really lucky... after a trip to the hospital by helicoter and a round with the trauma center I walked out in one piece. Lots of road rash and a few staples here and there I did walk out of the hospital five hours later. I'm posting this so that you guys will keep your eyes wide open especially behind you. It happened so fast I never saw the car coming. The kid that hit me had no insurance and was high as a kite ! He was booked for dangerous driving"

Beemer looks better like that; a sort of "**** in the air" streetfightered scooter.
 Glad the chap was okay. Damned cagers. |

Is the car eating the bike, or the bike eating the car?
