have I understood correctly... the driver of the dumptruck that cut the bike off never stopped?

@tamaimpa there was no dumptruck at the scene and Police were going to Higgins Road to look for the truck.

Just would like to add that both people involved ended up ok, as well as the precious dog involved, a beautiful female boxer named Britt. Thanks to some very thoughtful people who witnessed the accident and came to our aide. Over 1 year later and a few surgeries later, we are all healthy and still riding because that's what we do! Look out for bikes, share the road...peace...

@poultefas Personally I would blame whoever cut somebody off. Seems pretty obvious.

@Hepatica85 Scooters have to let people pass, as they are too slow for the road. That only goes for 50cc scooters. 50 cc mopeds can't hit 40mph which a lot of British roads are. That means people get irritatedand make stupid takeovers. It's not right but it happens.

That's why i question weather or not 50cc mopeds should be on British roads. Atleast bicycles keep to the side.

That was a longer comment that i intended to type. And a bit boring

hop the guy or gal is ok

If I had a motorcycle it would have to loudest, most obnoxious exhaust money can buy. Because if you can't see me, dammit you're going hear me.

i saw them at the dollar store parkin lot and the dogs in a cage being pulled behind. Hope there feelin better. I never seen that before.

[youstupidman]

actually it was not a harley it was a kawasaki vulcan i saw him going twice on the day of the accident

[poultefas]

Well people I drive a dump truck and a 4 banger but people get in such a hurry it's hard to blame just one group of people. Everyone should slow down and enjoy the drive no matter what you are in or on.

To early in the season for bikes to on the road, too much dirt and people aren't looking for bikes on the road yet. Some of these big trucks cut people off all the time. I ride and am am getting cut off all the time.
