Friend of mine got hit last week. Girl texting in her car sideswiped him. Girl just kept going. My friend has a seperated shoulder, pins in his hand and a broken wrist. Cops are looking for the car.
My ugliest incident, other than almost being killed, was when I got hit square in the glasses with a bug. I have no idea what it was but it left green and yellow parts all over my lens.
That's what I've got. A 2005 100th anniversary two tone 1200 Custom Sportster. It's got drag handlebars so the turns are pretty easy. You just have to push forward on the one and pull up on the other sometimes if you're really pushin' it.
I'd agree about the city riding. I was in traffic once with a friend, I decided to change lanes and the sport bikes coming up from the back in the middle of traffic almost clipped me. Took a lot of convincing to stop my boyfriend at the time from kickin' some ass. About the only time I go downtown is to the bike meet in the square.
