Was just making a left turn from a stop sign when I noticed a crotch rocket coming from the left side. I hadnt even exited the crosswalk lines by the time I stopped, tried to reverse to avoid him, but not fast enough.

He locked up his rear brake, laid the bike down, and slid a couple feet and his the front left as shown.

Sadly, I beleive it was just an inexperienced rider. Gentlemen in his late 40's early 50's on a brand new 1000cc+ Suzuki street bike. I helped him up, walked him over to the curb. Then picked up his bike, and walked it over to the side of the road.




skip a couple minutes, 4 cop car,s 1 fire engine, and a paramedics. arrive.

Paramedics told me it was only minor injuries, possible a sprained ankle, and some bruises, but no broken limbs for the biker. I was completely fine.

At the moment of contact, I was stopped, and the rider was going around 5-10mph.

I am under the impression that I am not at fault, since I didnt receive any citations after the officers went over the scene.


I only have liability on my car, so I am waiting to see what happens.


Was rather hard to capture the damage. and yes, I know the camera's settings are way off, didnt care to adjust...

Large dent in chrome bumper on drivers side, some knicks in rubber top, and valance has a gash and some large dents as well.

Looks minor.

Be glad the guy on the bike didn't really hurt himself. Even though not your fault, PITA to deal with and explain like 100 times over.

Yeah, looks like a new bumper for you! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Waiting to hear back from the reporting officer.
