I'm convinced that minivans should require a special freakin' license.

Any injuries?

How much UNDER the speed limit was the Minivan traveling when it entered your path?

RACER X · 08-27-2009, 02:12 PM

Yea we should be the last ones to automatically blame sport bike riders for crashes. The general public takes care of that for us everyday.

Actually if a vehicle moves into your lane and causes you to hit them, the black and white rule of hitting the back of a car no longer applies.

Oh, and congratulations on riding so many city miles. That's amazing.

It's not "automatically" your fault, there are possible mitigating circumstances.

Um this isn't a single vehicle accident, Bro... I know that sport bikes get into a lot of single vehicle accidents and I've heard the "gravel" excuse plenty of times myself BUT that doesn't mean that every accident, regardless of circumstances is the rider's fault. I just don't appreciate the guilty until proven innocent POV when it comes to sport bike riders.

Anyway, I hope that you are all right and that you and your bike are back on the road asap!
