Keep it safe out there fellas. I was hit by a Mustang from behind this morning just east of Bloomington. I was on my 19 pound bike so obviously I didn't come out on the winning end of things. I was going about 22 and he had to be going over 60. You could say that I was incredibly lucky because I have no broken bones. I just have a gash on my left elbow, a swollen right ankle, and a severely sore and swollen butt. I'm not sure if the butt is from hitting the car or from hitting the ground. I have major butt road rash too. I'll spare you the pictures of that but here are a couple of shots of my poor bike. Note the frame is broken in two places in the rear triangle. The rear wheel is mangled.

You are lucky to still be here fter a hit like that.  I'm glag you made it.  That's exactly why I don't ride bikes on the highway.  Because of crazy bastards out there that can't drive or pay attention.

that and its illegal

This is a worthless piece of shit information that is not dirived from any real facts that have been presented thus far and is a perfect target for me to vent frustration on! No where was the interstate mentioned and I use the term 'highway' loosley where any car is legally allowed to run at 55mph like an old country road.

From now on bull shit like this may be deleted without warning for this very reason. Symantics are for politicians and those with far too much time on their hands. I am/have niether and I can read the meaning of others posts fine without perfect grammar. mad.gif

Rant off.
