There I was rolling along I Looked in the mirrors and didn't see anyone and proceded to switch lanes and got plowed form the side. I'm alright just a few scrapes but the bike is alot worse, I'm just hoping they don't total it. Because I love that bike.

Man, you're typing online so you must be okay. Sorry about the scoot, hope both of you get better soon and get back out there.

Glad you are alright, Fj is right this seems like a rough season. Since my wreck Ct has been having about 2 serious bike crashes a week, And it seems as many cruisers are going down as sportbikes.
Be careful out there boys and girls.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Glad to hear your OK. Thats the thing with riding forget once and it can hurt. I also hear about a lot of people who are buying bikes for the first time ever at about the age of 40+. Read something somewhere said age 40+ crashes are on the rise.I have seen some people on bikes that I am amazed they would get on one. You do need some coordination and dexterity.
My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon "
