You know I just remembered that I was hit by a car. I was maybe 9 or 10 and going home at night from my buddies house. I was coming down a slight hill and one of the older area kids was driving down the street. I paused while he came up to the intersection and as he passed I crossed the street behind him and the SOB threw it into reverse and GUNNED the engine backing into and then almost over me.
I remember yelling and asking him to stop. He did, threw it into first and took off. The neighbors came to the rescue and as I recall I just had scrapes, bike was ok. I remember having to go to court and how he pleaded no contest to the charge of hit and run........WOW, that is amazing to have that memory flood over me....happened 46 or 47 years ago........interesting
