Look for 4 "dude bros" in a Silver BMW 2 door, with a large henry sized dent in the passenger side..

someone has pics of the wheel.

any plate info or other identifying marks?

LilSprocket 07-15-06 11:44 AM

WOW, I'm glad you're okay... Did they get outta the car? How'd you know they were drunk, and not just the regular stupid?

BostonFixed 07-15-06 11:53 AM

Partial plate # 32W mass. plates.

The cops took a report, but who knows how that will go.

the driver made a hard left from the far right lane (actually the right turn lane where its 3 lanes) going towards a bar, and it was near northeastern, so i would presume they were drunk. also i the fact that they were driving a bmw and still ****ing ran... prob had something to hide. ****** bags.

the supreme ******baggery of people never ceases to amaze me.

humancongereel 07-15-06 01:00 PM

you did get the plate, you said? hope those drivers get ****ed for all you can get them for.

**** like this should count as assault and battery. or even a special sort of assault and battery for being done with a car.

god, i hate cagers sometimes.

keep hounding the police. I got hit years ago when I lived in Boston. Beacon st. Right by the Storrow drive entrance. The lady took off and I never got anything and they never caught her. I have a shoulder that has been damaged since the accident and no way to pay for the surgery to fix it.

medfurd 07-15-06 02:15 PM

You should definitely make sure the police follow up on it. I had my car hit in the parking lot once and some people were nice enough to stay and give me a partial plate #. I called the cops and he looked up all the plates that started with the first 3 digits I had, and said what kind of car they were until we found my match, a Ford Excursion. I hope you can do that with your plate. Good luck!

eddiebrannan 07-15-06 03:31 PM

that bike is ****ed man. you can't possibly ride it ever again. you need to send it to me for appropriate disposal. send beer too

mikearena 07-15-06 03:36 PM

Wow, that's rough. Glad to hear you're okay though. Maybe now you can get that cog off. Kind of like when you bang on the lid of a tough jar...

absntr 07-15-06 04:03 PM

Glad you're okay.

Now that frame has a weird bend in that seattube, best send it over here.

youth 07-15-06 04:19 PM

god damn. good luck getting those ****ers

sers 07-15-06 05:09 PM

damn henry, sorry to hear about that. i had a run in with a (possibly) drunk driver last night as well. i was commuting home from work down comm ave and this car coming from the opposite direction cut in front of me to take a left hand turn. no signals, and i had my front light going, as i always do during my commute. long story short i ****ed up my left leg pulling a hockey stop to avoid broadsiding him. this was right at BC. i am so bummed about not being able to do the zelda race.

did you have brakes on your bike? brakes would have helped avoid the hockey stop
for all you brake haters.

sers 07-15-06 05:51 PM

yes, i was running a front brake. it was so sudden, that if i hadn't thrown the bike sideways i would have hit him.

operator 07-15-06 06:05 PM

Were you wearing a helmet? did you fall?
