My Big Block's totaled from what I could tell. I'll get the bike back Monday and see the damage, the frame is bent beyond repair at the rear stay.
And I later figured out that while I was being taken to the hospital the police simply let the driver move along. I'm going back monday to get my bike and figure out what happened after I left, calling the PD was useless.
There's been 2 very serious accidents in Brazil last week, threes been many others before and it seems like no one cares.
Sorry to hear that, glad youre ok. I decided to ride today for a bit before the snow was going to come down. While riding I had a car on the opposite lane facing towards me trying to make his left turn. There were no stop signs/lights and so I kept going, INSTEAD of waiting for me to pass the goddamn idiot decides to turn. I had to make a slight right or he wouldve hit me. The worst thing is he saw me, saw that I wasent going to brake and keep going and when he was about to hit me, I threw up my hands shouting at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" He didnt even look at me, just looked straight ahead and kept driving. I was so frustrated -___-
