So I sold my 99 R1 to a girl in LA before leaving there and moving here. She just got taken out on her commute home yesterday, and as luck would have it she got the whole thing on video! Check it out (right click-save as please):

She's more or less okay; not sure about the bike yet. Who knows what the hell caused the guy to swerve like that for no reason. I'm guessing cell phone distraction followed by panic braking...

The first chick to get to the rider was excellent, then some fat head chick came in and wouldn't shut up :D

I’m also thankful she’s OK!
That’s some very incriminating video. I’d sure like to know what the car driver’s attorney will state as the reason he braked and swerved out of control…
PG Rider: Thanks for posting, and if possible let us know if tickets were issued, and probably many months from now, the final outcome of this accident.

What a god-damn moron. :guns: I'll bet he decided to pull up his e-brake to be cool or something and it just got away from him. I hope that fooker has insurance, and everything gets covered.

I'm glad she is alright, and that she was wearing all of her gear. could have been a lot worse.

To minimize the reading for others...
I'm posting what your thinking! :D

"If you haven't yet been in an accident. This is exactly what it's like. Not fun."

"She's going to be okay."

"Listen for these key items:"
1. "OOOOHHHH SH*T!!!!"
2. "Is she okay?!"
3. "She's about to get PAID!!!"

"Hey, rewind to the lady with the low cut shirt!" :D She's a nurse...:p

Her riding gear protection did it's only job.
The guy's a interesting drifter...:rolleyes:
