Default Hit By Car!

so I got hit by my first car today! dumb@ss right turned right into me. Of course I am in Phoenix, land of the non-insured driver, so dude had no insurance, no registration, oh and the car was stolen! luckily i only jacked up my knee and my shoulder a bit, and the bike needs a new taillight and some cable/throttle work. The cops dug my bike though

stay safe,

wear your helmets, boys and girls!

If they ever try and run from the accident, slash their tires so they can't go far.

Or just shoot them... Might I remind you also that WE have no insurance.

I may be wrong but I bet your homeowners would cover if you were at fault.
Being it's a bicycle and most people have Uninsured motorist coverage, which I had to use recently when i got hit by a kid who let his insurance lapse.

Sorry did not mean to Hijack. Happy your O.K. Though.

Y'know, if you're in an accident, I don't know that pulling a knife is the way to go.
