Damn mate, sorry to hear that.
I got a used bike last year, humble 150cc engine, couple of years old, you know, budget bike. I rode it like 50.000km since then, travelled a lot, fell 3 times, actually got to fuck myself up a little once (I got a pic of that)
Bike's all scratched and dirty... true warrior.
luckily I've never hit anything yet.
You oughta be more careful though, I'd rather die by hitting a truck at 120km/h than doing a wheelie.
I myself have never been hit my a car but ... the parked ones come outa no were i swear >_>
Woah! Glad you didnt get under the car or you wouldnt have been here right now :l
Well at least thats another one thats learned the hard way :P. Just slow down next time. I've been hit before messing, it sucks but i didn't come out as bad as you did so get well soon.
Thats seriously fucked up if you get any money. It was your fault, cars have reversing lights on them for a reason. A driver has about 10 things to worry about you riding passed on a bike not paying attension shouldnt be another.
The whole sueing culture really needs to stop. Shit happens why try and blame other people ffs, you fucked up.
Ohh and sounding your horn when there is no point i remember to be against the law, like using the horn at night. It distracts other drivers so it would most likely cause more accidents. Though it might save a few kids who cant be arsed to pay attension to driveways with cars that have there reverse lights on....

I Was Riding By Bike To The Local Milkbar.
Really Fast And Stunting :P
All Of A Sudden I Ride Past A Drive Way And BOOOM!
You're lucky i dont know the man who hit you , but if he was from my family i would be suing your ass :P , I bet ya were speeding on the sidewalk , and everyone stepping out the way or they would get fracked up ( and pray the guy doesnt have witness :P )
btw what did you said to your fathers ? ( I was driving slowly and the car just hit me ? :P )
Nah he said *i was riding trying to hit as many people as possible when a car reversed slowly into me while i was doing a trick not watching where i was going. If he hadnt hit me its quite likely id have fallen off anyway, but alteast this way we can sue him eh?*
lol...
i only got hit by a bike once... still have nice scar on my leg ^^ i was so shocked that it didnt even bleed =P
wishing u fast recovery!
Haha you got ran over, does it feel good?
LOL,
1. I Coudlt See The Car Or The Reversing Lights Cause There Was A fence? lol
You're ridiculous and so is this -.-'
In my own opinion i think this thread should be either moved to spam-ville or gtfo.
So your saying you couldnt see the car, and therefore the car couldnt see you. You most likely saw his reverse lights way before he could see you. Its a car, you should be looking out for them. It should be your number one priority when going passed a drive, check nothing is going to run you over.
Cars have many blind spots and low viewing angles. A bike, well does it actually have a blind spot at all? When you learn to drive yourll understand tbh...
I hope you recover soon, but you can't blame the driver for you accident. How can you expect a car to use its horn exiting its own drive way when it doesn't see anything coming, then a second later a speeding cyclist passes by doing tricks lol.
When your crossing either a road, a drive way, a gap between the street and the opening of a Ally your suppose to stop, and see if theres anything there. Then continue to ride, its what breaks are for.
Does falling off a golf cart when it's moving about 15mph count as getting run over? =x
