That sucks man, used to work with a guy that was a hardcore biker, rode everywhere. Got T-boned by some asshole that wasn't paying attention and lost a leg. Just means time to get a trike. Cellphone asshole should be buying you one.
i agree with you dude but i think if you couse a crash you should be held accountable no matter what ..cell phone ..lighting a smoke ..drinkin a coffee ..or anything ..i ride also dude and i know all about close calls ..i hope you get to ride once again ..please take care ok ..i have a softail standard wide glide and have some extra parts ..you are welcome to them ok .keep in touch ok ..
Right on I agree completely with stricter laws. My accident happened on june 6 2009 the guy wasnt on a cell phone but was backed out of his drive way and didnt look for traffic on the road. End result my leg hitting his bumper and breaking my tibia and fibula. Earlier that year tho i was rear ended by a guy talking on a cell phone hit me goin about 15 mph, Luckily I healed up quickly from the serious one and was able to get into the army.
I agree laws need to be changed for stupid shit people do like this and come close to killing a man that was minding his own business riding his bike or driving his car w/e
I RIDE (15yrs. now) I AM A SINGLE MOM W/3 GREAT KIDS! THEY ARE 24, 17 & 13. I LOVE TO RIDE & I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE ON THEIR CELLS DAILY, NOT PAYING ATTENTION! ALMOST WAS REAR-ENDED BY SOME IDIOT IN AN AUDI. GET THIS...HE HAD A WINDOW CLING OF HIS FAMILY ON HIS WINDOW, HE & HIS WIFE& 3 KIDS. DIDN'T HESITATE TO REMIND HIM THAT HIS CALL ON THAT CELL ALMOST CAUSED HIM TO HIT ME & I HAVE NOBODY TO TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS BUT ME! I AM BEHIND YOU 100% LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. NO CELL USE IN A VEHICLE!
Thanks for sharing the vid. I bet that asshole doesn't even think about what he has done to you anymore. I get so mad when I see people on their phones in the car - over here in Oz it's the poofy little penpushers or mum's with a carload of kids. I say (or rather yell) something just about everytime. My man is a biker and we have been almost hit so many times because people don't take notice.
CAGER FUCK! Man, i'm sorry to hear about that man. People stereotype bikers and therefore dont respect us, cagers should start thinking about other peoples road safety. That man should have been shot who did that to you..
Maybe someday people will respect each other but I am not going to turn blue holding my breath. I will continue to walk the talk and take action not just sit by the side and do nothing. Thank you for your service and GOD Bless you and yours for a speedy recovery and a happy life!
I will share this video with family and friends to help put the word out. Hopefully this will save someone else the pain and something good will come from it. I am so sorry for your pain and loss. May God bless you.
My late Father was a Vet and a Biker , my Brother was a Marine for a short while a Biker, he was knocked off his pride and joy by a Pick Up in N.Y, he still has not fully recovered, does ride again. I became a retired USAF 20 yr. Vet, 13 years ago now living in the UK there are assholes on the phone while driving continuously...there is also a fine if they get caught, go figure! Your Not Alone, recover and be stay healthy, have faith in our God, Trust your Instincts you will Ride-Again! ; )
I would LOVE to look for motorcycles. I would LOVE to respect them. unfortunately there are some states like California where it's impossible. those assholes drive BETWEEN cars, BETWEEN lanes at 80mph. if they only obey the same rules I would respect them. I do not.
@vivid1234 what difference does it make to you some bike lane splitting, it annoys you because they are getting there quicker than you, drivers like you shouldnt even be allowed on the roads
@vivid1234 What is the problem with a motorcycle nipping through gaps in the traffic, you in your car dressed casually smoking a cigarette listening to the radio, us out there cold, wet, loads of safety gear on because every little spill or lump on the road could kill us, we put up with that so we can get through traffic and you want to block our way, whats wrong with you, try see it through our eyes.
@2wheelsteve I never said I wanted to block you, I just do not respect you. Don't put words in my mouth. The problem with a motorcycle 'nipping through gaps in traffic' is that it is very dangerous for others. And don't care if a spill can kill you. Drive a car. Is this really your excuse? Really? And by the way, I do not smoke.
@vivid1234 Oh dear, the smoking wasnt aimed at anyone in particular, I do drive a car, I have two of them, I do lots of things but riding a motorcycle is also something I do, yes it is very dangerous but experience over years of riding improves my odds of survival, what I cant account for is driver not looking out for all traffic on the roads equally, nipping through gaps in traffic is only dangerous to the rider not you sitting in a metal box, you seem to have tunnel vision regarding this
@2wheelsteve I am wrong because... I do not like something. a good one, dude! I love your logic. do you like spinach? no? you are WRONG! you DO LIKE it!
Thank you for serving our country and I am so sorry this happened to you. I've had many friends and family members die in car/bike accidents.. things need to change.

well, cali is one of the only states where it's still legal (I think) to lane split (leftover from the days when all bikes were air-cooled)
