You Know What Wakes You Up In The Morning? Splitting Traffic At About 50 When A Van Abruptly And Illegally Decides To Carpool Three Cars Ahead, Resulting in Me Bouncing Of The Side Of His Van... Literally. I Have White Paint On The Side Of My Bike |

Didn't you just get the bike fixed from another wreck? Sounds like I got competition. |

Crazy! Good thing for that guy you don't live in FL, we all ride strapped here and that sounds like a clear-cut case of a self-defense shooting... |

Whoa froggy! I didnt go down! I hit it pretty Hard though. I think the passenger peg got him good. There is a nice chunk of paint on it lol. And since the wreck Ive put 5k on it in just under two months. a total of 11k on her now @Jng1226, After I had turned to look at him, I pretend shot him with the hand pistol lol. Maybe he died... I hope. (Message edited by Captain_america on September 03, 2010) (Message edited by Captain_america on September 03, 2010) |

I slammed into the side of a white van once and about 50MPH. Had a girl on the back at the time. I kept the bike up and the girl held tight and didn't complain. She's my wife now. |

Similar thing happened to me this week, large white van illegally pulled in to the bus lane which bikes can use here, I hit the brakes and dived to the inside and missed it, driver just drove off, thing is the van had dayglo stripes, blue lights on top and "police" written all over it! |

I too have rubbed up against a white van at about 100 MPH...in Florida nonetheless. Left a chalky mark on my jacket.
Maybe it was the same white van... |

Wow! I think of utility vans the same way. My experiences are less dramatic but similar. |

What about a transit bus? I had some lady is a city bus push me into the curb while I was ridding in the lane to her left. She never say me and damn near killed me. I also had some lady in a new Mercedes cut into my lane only to get back into her lane and then re-enter into my lane and nearly took out the front of my bike. There are crazy blind people everywhere. This is why I purchased the RT2 from KEDA. There shouldn't any excuses for not seeing or hearing me once the exhaust is on.![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/shooting.gif) |

I got side swiped splitting lanes by a green ford ranger, not a white van surprisingly. Now I have the RT4 on and cars pull out of my way when I come rolling through traffic. |
