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
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
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.
*grumble* *wince*
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.
Shoot me now.
