I was on the losing team in an ST vs. SUV wrestling match this =
morning. I was driving down highway 101 from San Francisco on my way to =
work when a woman in the lane to my right decided that she wanted to be =
in my lane. She also decided that she wanted to be right in the space =
that I was occupying. I hit the left side of her car, shearing off her =
mirror and throwing me off the bike into the lane. After some creative =
cartwheels and flips I found myself laying on my back in what would have =
been the fast lane of traffic if people hadn't all hit their brakes. =20
=20
I came out of the accident pretty healthy. My right shoulder and =
elbow are throbbing from where I hit her, and my left hip, knee and =
ankle are not being very cooperative about supporting weight; I think =
that's where I hit the ground first. But hey, the X-ray showed that I =
didn't break anything in my elbow and the real pain won't set in until =
tomorrow. =20
=20
The ST (Less than a month old. Very depressing) did not fare so =
well. Almost every piece of plastic is shattered, cracked or badly =
scuffed, the left side controls are all either still on the ground in =
San Mateo or mangled and hanging off the bike. The tow truck operator =
said the forks were bent too, and the tail looked like it was no longer =
parallel to the rear tire.
=20
*grumble* *wince*
=20
The police said that the woman admitted that she didn't see me and =
that unless the witness has a totally different story that she was =
probably at fault. I'll keep you all informed about what happens with =
insurance.
=20
Shoot me now.
