Groveland, where's that?
Yep, yesterday it was my turn in the barrel.
I was riding this: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7319852&postcount=1 (since I can't post dupe pics from another thread) Sorry.
It happened here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/1...2!3m1!1s0x8090d670bdc6e075:0x1e6212c423f1a068
What happened:
I was traveling eastbound at approximately 30-35 miles per hour. As I was exiting the curve, I saw the blue mini van traveling west approaching my location. As the mini van approached the intersection, of SR-120 and School Street she slowed. I was on the left side of the lane, when she made her left turn. The mini van began her turn prior to the break in the double yellow, and if there was a turn signal activated, I never saw it. At approximately 100 feet from the intersection, as she makes her turn, I start my defensive driving to avoid the collision.
I grab some front and rear brake and then try to avoid the collision by going to the left. As my front tire travels over the double yellow lines, the bike washes out.
I land on my left side and the bike and I separate. The bike continues east, and the bike impacts the right side of the mini van where it comes to rest. I slide to a stop and barrel roll onto the shoulder to avoid the car coming up behind me.
Wear those leathers. Big shout out to Helimont! No road rash, just all soft tissue injuries.
Police report taken, dr.'s appointments made, bike towed and totaled.
Well..... discuss. :thumbup
