My bit.
7am. Wet. On my way to work.
Was heading up the on-ramp onto the freeway. Speeding up to 80klm/h to merge in. Semi in left lane of freeway (on my right) decided to head for the parking bay which was at the end of the on-ramp. He pulled straight into the merge lane. Obviously didn't see me.
I jammed on the brakes, but not too much cause I didn't want the front to slide. Was slowing down OK & would have stopped before hitting the truck no worries.
THEN..... Another BIKE hit me from behind. This idiot was going too fast & couldn't stop. We both went down. We slid about 20m along the road all tangled together.
The other guy was wearing jeans & a LS shirt.
His knee was badly chewed up & he had some pretty nasty cuts & grazes.
I was wearing my full Dry-Rider gear. I grazed the toe of my boot on the road, that was it.
I received abslutely no bodily damage at all.
