    Those of us that have ridden or still ride face a common enemy visual acuteness I call it as more often than not the car driver or truckie does not take that extra fraction of time to ensure there are no other vehicular traffic they will impact with.
    They do not train drivers to look for the bike headlight on or not we are small and move fast and its very hard to figure out just how far away a motor cycle is in relation to ones vehicle when pulling out into the stream of traffic.
    I get past cars as quick as I can for to often I have seen riders sit in the blind spot of a car and nearly get taken out when the car moves over lanes I blame the bike rider for being a dumb *** sitting there your never going to win when tangling with a car.

    Like allot here have lost mates had them maimed but allot in the group are asking was it really necessary the police to do a u-bolt at that intersection when they have an airwing to chase stolen vehicles.
    We will never get answers, we will never stop struggling against inattentive car drivers the best we can hope for is that drivers focus on looking out for us and not make a hood ornament out of us.
    As I know just how banged up you get when a car pulls out on you leaving you the only option of throwing the Z900 away to stop her T-boning us.
    Thankfully I don't remember the impact which was around 35mph, a few things I do remember was the back brake locking up then being spat down on my Rt side, being jammed under the left side of the car my helmet still on my head jammed under the diff.
    I wriggled out the bitumen started to burn me (Summertime)where it had ground off a considerable amount of flesh from my Rt arm, my back and Rt knee yes I was not wearing any gear save for a helmet-T-shirt-Jeans-sneakers.
    I told the woman driver if I could have got up what I was going to do to her as she went straight through a stop sign, I then remembered my fiancée who was my pillion, where was she? then blackness. I woke up in E.D with her screaming as they had just told her one of my eyes was fully dilated and not reacting to light!
    The rest is history yes we do play a dangerous game and I am lucky to have survived all we ask is give us a chance, I wont forget Michelle nor her family all we can do is hope the good lord takes care of her after such a horrific way to go.
    I appreciate all this group here does and stands for, the support is well received.
    Thank you one and all.
