Cagers

[Alberta Beagle]

Sorry about the accident but glad to hear that everyone is going to be alright.
It really is amazing some of the stupid things cagers do that put others in danger. Drove past a guy on the freeway here the other day with a phone being held to his ear on one side, sandwich in the other hand and a newspaper draped over the steering wheel!!!
Dialed the police non emergency line from my Sena headset and provided his location to the police. Less than 5 minutes later he was being pulled over as I watched from about 6 car lengths behind him. Really don't know what he was thinking but he must be one busy guy!!!!

Had my second accident ever on a motorcycle yesterday. Cager changed three lanes of traffic to hit me and I thought the Deer were bad. I was not injured at all but my poor girlfriend took the cagers bumper to her leg and I'm more upset about that than anything.
The cager and I were traveling in the same direction on the same street, he was three lanes from me in the curb lane and I was traveling the inside lane. He deciced he needed to make a left turn (from the outside curb lane) so he did and we met in the way you don't want to meet other people on the road. His car clipped my girlfriends leg and the right rear bag. I was able to keep it up on the rubber side and pulled it over. It was a hard hit and the bike faired quite well. The F6B is a strong machine and I'm positive I would have gone down on a different bike.

Here is the damage.

WOW ! You're very fortunate that you did not lose the bike after a hit like that. I'm guessing that you saw him coming and not going to fast. Hopefully your GF is not banged up to bad.
