motorcycle bounced off the side of my car today

[dnehthend]

two lanes merged into one, I was passed the merging point and in the now single lane, from that single lane I was about to merge into the left hand turn lane, as I was doing that some :q:q:q:q:q:q:q on a harley type bike decided that he was going to pass everyone from the merging lanes and me

well, as I pulled to the left into that turn lane he tagged me, he came sliding up beside me then lost balance a bit and layed his handle bars into my drivers door, kind of bounced off and hit again but didn't fall down, he then fled off, I couldn't get the plate number or anything

there are no scratches that I can see but there are two nice long dents in my door


the most upsetting thing about it is that I was less than half a block from where I was going on my 30 mile journey.. which was to collect from my previous employer that I had to sue for back pay.


the good news is that my previous employer and I have worked out a payment plan.. the bad news is that there is a $500 deductible for whatever my dents will cost, I'll check around on that first though

That sucks
No shoulder to chase him down?

This.

Too bad he didn't fall.

the lanes merged because it was headed into a residential area, I really wanted to but that would have meant driving on the wrong side of the road past a handful of cars, plus kids, dogs, and who knows what else. he took off pretty fast, not sure I could have caught up anyway

I'm getting some estimates tomorrow. I'll probably get it taken care of the same time I have the hail damage taken care of

Sucks... I hate irresponsible motorcycle riders giving the rest of us a bad name.
