Bike it totalled on front end.. normally not an issue but mT01 is a collectors bike, only produced between 2005 to 2009, so spares are few and DAMN expensive.. pipes alone are 3.5k... thank goodness for insurance
![]() I am stiff, achy but good.. roadcraft skills help, and this accident could have been avoided but i am only new to this bike and overestimated how fast I could flip 270kgs over to the right after i semi committed to the left ![]() he who hesitates is lost.. i got lucky the decision to lowside and jump/roll worked out... Quote:
If you watch vid carefully you will see about a second before impact i jump/roll then watch the reflection in tacho.. see me standing there, i made eye contact with her, and she STILL continued to run over my bike.. and headed off down the road.. a pedestrian had to stop her to let her know she had hit me.. I have posted this everywhere i think motorcyclists are, and have asked everyone to spread it to their motor cycling mates/forums/facebook groups etc so that if this video causes only 1 motorcyclist to reconsider his riding methods or ATGATT then at least this misfortune had a silver lining ![]() I always say take the best result from any situation and run with it ![]()

Still love biking, have had a few stack, one seeing me in hospital for months with 2 years rehab on a crushed shoulder... i LOVE biking.. simple.. my mates that try talk me out of it usually get sat down to look at morbidity statistics.. I ask them to read from the top down.. #1 Heart disease caused by obesity #2 Heart disease cause by eating disorders (how this is different from #1 im not sure.. anyway, we continue on to cancer from smoking, drinking etc.. depending on your country .. motorcycle deaths are VERY far down that list.. ![]()

Hi Chris, glad you are ok, you gotta be careful of other drivers.
you`ll find slowing down if you anticipate a potential hazard helps, don`t presume everyone follows the rules ![]() Could have been avoided or a lot worse. |

Yeap, he is ok.. nice young fella.. just really bad luck.. The MT isa deceptively powerfull bike.. (like a 1.7l motor wouldn't give you a clue) and it moves realt fast quite unexpectedly.. just an error in judgement i guess, his insurance getting it sorted so alls good.. damage mostly superficial..

Bought my first Harley 43 years ago. Clubed 38 if those years. Had a semi slam on the breaks in front of me and layed my brand new 77 sportster down and slide the length of the trailer then rolled out from under the truck at the drive axle. Was not a block from the dealership where I bought it. They came running down and checked me out. Asked for the paperwork back and told me I was test driving. Went back to the dealership and got another bike. No injuries. Worst I was ever hurt the motor on my 80/80 Wideglide was not running. Chatting on the side of a road with a high crown, car came along I pulled the clutch in and rolled off the road. Popped it out the bike flipped over on top of me and laid the pipes across my back. the girls I was talking to could not get the damn thing off me so I cooked until the next car came by. That hurt.
Defensive driving, watch everything all the time. Every driveway, side street, passing car, dog, duck everything, always. eyes moving at all times. Somebody will kill you if you give them the chance. Buried to many brothers not to remember to take care of me. Fred |

Nan Tien temple run
