I was travelling about 30 mph smacked right into it and was thrown off my bike about 7 feet high in the air onto the hard concrete. I was ok, no broken bones or anything just a few bruises. Lucky I wearing my helmet, it was cracked...I invested in more powerful headlights  |

| | Re: How did you get injured on your motor bike? When I first read your post I thought, "how does someone hide something the size of a bus." I found the answer when I googled shopping trolley.
In the States, a shopping trolley is called a shopping cart.
Riding down a dark road with only a dim light can be scary but it sure is fun. |

| | Re: How did you get injured on your motor bike? So I only have been in once accident with my MB
and I;d like to keep it that way.
I was pulling out of a inside road to another inside road. I had a stop sign and so did the car on the left of me. I stopped and I saw a 2006 Bmw comming ot the stop on my left. We made eye contact, I nodded and I proceded to go straight. I look to my leftand i see the bmw driver on my left. then BAAAMM!! All of a sudden I flew about about 10 feet off my mountian bike and my mountain bike went Wide open throttle and zoomed for a second or to until it fell on the floor about 15 feet away from me. I had landed on my back
and rolled. Driver comes out and yells at me, and I could tell in the back of his head
he was scared of a "lawsuit". I decided to let it be ,due to I was in shock and wanted to get out of there. I limped to my bike which was still revving at WOT for about a minute or two. Barley got on my bike and left.
For the whole week I was sore and every time I sat down it was as if I was getting ramed by a goat on my ass.
I should've gotten his licesnse or something. Guess the state of shock just took over me .
Lesson Learned =)

| | Re: How did you get injured on your motor bike? slowed down to about 10mph to turn around and put out a leg for stability. hit some sand and the rear tire skidded out from under me and forced me to pull on the throttle making things worse. small but deep road rash on left knee, still healing 2 months later and a slightly bent muffler that i fixed by kicking it back into place |

I have not YET gotten in to wreck on MB. But I know its only a matter of time. NO matter how cautious I am. Had e-bike for a yr and the DAX only has about 200 miles on it.
