Today I went to get lunch. I usually turn left at this intercetion, however, I went straight. Just after the light I needed to turn right to get my Chinese. I am in turn lane to my left there are 2 lanes and a turn lane.. traffic is still... I decide to go for it, however, dummy forgets the turn lane... I am going maby 20 and from my right comes a Pontiac vibe.. There is zero reaction time all I saw was white and the realazation that I had made a terible mistake! So front tire makes contact about 1 foot from the side of the car on the front bumper. ( I saw a perfect tread pattern on the bumper) Next the forks hit corner of bumper. then back of front tire, then tank left indent about 1 foot from drivers door. foot peg and handlebar hits driver door. elbow hits and slids across rear passenger window. my back came incontact with rear door handle causing a indent about 1.5 inches deep. luggage rack and muffler hit rear quarter pannel. (somehow my leg was not between bike and car)bike lands on left side facing opposite of the line of travel. followed by me landing almostperfectly face down in middle of the lane. Silence followed by Are you ok? I respond.. NO! I just fought a 3000 lb car what do you think? mental check of body while thinking "something must be broken" people saying Don't get up. I respond.. does it look like I am trying to? minuite goes by siren.. I think that was quick was it more than a min? no 2 at the most no loss of consiousness. Firemarshal just happend by. I remove my gloves helmet elbow pads he helps me roll over on my back. I decide I am ok I get up pick up the bike. Handle bars are twisted like a pretzle. front wheel is at a 45% angle. so any way I think forks are destroyed but no also rim is still straight? how car must have been doing 30-40mph subframe looks bent but I remember that the right bolt is broken so it is probably just twisted? I will look later. actually rode the bike home. Me slight rash on lower back(should have had my kidny belt on) minor nee scrape Nee pads? right wrist pretty sore. I fugure 1/10th of a second and I would have probably been a mess. hit the windshield, leg crushed between bike and car, internal injurries ect. I was wearing Mx helmet elbow pads plastic 661 back and chest protector. I beleave helpted save my bacon. And I really beleave God was in controll. If you perfere luck or fate but I beleave GOd.
