So let me get this right , If I am riding my bike on the road and some guy on a motorcycle is behind me and crashes without any harm to me I need to turn around while he is on the ground and call him a FKN ******* for doing that!
I rode motorcycles for 16yrs and now I hate the Idiots who ride them these days

Glad no broken bones or worse. I'm still getting over some bad road rash and bruises. The guy on the motorcycle was a freakin' jerk and as a motorcyclist, I'm ashamed.
Sorry about the bike damage!

Sorry about your accident.
That biker was an a-hole of epic proportions. I ride motorcycles. I have ridden alongside bicyclists riding down mountain road and the last thing I want to do is have a collision with them or cause them to crash. I've had bicyclists blocking the road on a twisty road because they are not going fast enough, so I just slow down, wait for them to get to a clear straightaway where they can ride closer to the side of the road so I can pass. No matter what, even if the bicyclist is being a jerk, the responsibility is on the motorcyclist to avoid a collision because we have the advantage of power & weight. Collide with bicyclist and he/she will be the one who really gets hurt.
I hope you heal quickly.

The biker was a jerk but he was trying to shake you off. Sounds like you learned your lesson. Now go back and look for those Jawbones. There has to be more than one positive thing to come out of this.
