mmm, interesting about the yellow kennedy.
i was riding along a well lit street.
my bike only had one headlight. (of course the bike is dead now)
i did however have a yellow dainese all weather jacket on.
ho hum........... just my turn i guess.
by the way, glad none of you have come off , but civics bf's experience sounded like my first one.
guy pulled out from a parking space over double lines (supposedly no crossing of the double lines is allowed) and saw me half way through his hook/ u turn.
of course he stopped in the middle of the road as i came down on him doing 80 kph (i think about 50 mph??)
so similar to this latest one i realised i had no options but to stand up on the pegs and jump when i hit the car.
luckily, i missed the a pillar of his car and went over the bonnet on to the road and had a roll around.
i got up and this time everything worked.
that was about 8 years ago now, when i was a courier in melbourne.
i think the difference between my two was that once i was hitting the car (no injuries) and this time the car hit me (loads more damage)
if people want to visit my site youre more than welcome.
it has lots of xray pics, pics of me and pics of the bike
