Some stitches here and there, a couple fractured ribs at tops of my rib cage, road rash all over. All the pulled muscles. Been in the hospital since Thursday morning.
No i don't know how the bike is and i really couldn't care right now...
Glad that you're still around to worry about stuff other than your bike.
Heal well,

Yeah notice that solid white line she crossed when she changed lanes to hit me.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, and wish you a speedy recovery. It appears that you will ultimately walk away without permanent damage and that is a blessing, for sure.
Did she right on red? Or, light change for you, as she ran a yellow?
Still all the road rash with full gear on? What brand and type? Think maybe we on the forum want to be sure we are not wearing the same!

Yeah she made a right on red and cut me off i nailed the breaks but was still going faster than her. So like clock work as soon as i got close to her she changed lanes and smashed me.
I never said i was wearing gear. Just a 3/4 helmet with a flip down face shield.
Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I can't wait to get better and start working on my car again... i think I'll stick to roadsters for the wind in my hair kicks for a while

Intersection is always most dangerous even rider have the right of green light. In your case, the driver makes left turn not seeing you and probably you don't brake hard enough and pay attention your right.
when having my green light to go, I always wait a sec or two just make sure no red light violators cross my way and look both ways to see that I am clear to go. I do not like city riding nor HWY in traffic hours ... too many cars and they tailgate.
Let's face it, riding is taking a lot of chance, rider don't have protection. I always give drivers hard stares when they invade my space.
And there it is...metal and asphalt vs. meat and bone.
You can improve your odds
In numerous ways.
But when its your day
You're going to pay.
Get better soon!

OK, maybe I am missing something here. No expectation that a 3/4 helmet's flip down bug shield was going to matter (up or down) in an accident, was there?
