more stupid than the public driving
« on: November 18, 2020, 10:36:20 PM »
i've only been riding for 53 years. my language might not reflect easygolucky bs, as today for the second time now a car wannabe driver, thinking it's his lucky day at the busy gas pumps and he's spied an empty pump so he zipps on to align his new red kia with the space and throws it into Rev. while i'm inside paying for the pump i come out and bike's laying on the ground, gas running out of the tank, it could've been a kid the guy didn't even look. last time i walk in a donut shop it has 3 in the single line, i'm wearing a skid lid, the customers have to walk straight past me, both nodding  approvement for either the donut they selected or the dead air space between their ears they occupy.  the guy walks back in and asks,'does anyone ride a red honda in here" keep in mind there's only 4 plus the donut maker in the small shop. turns out the guy walked right past my bike, got into his car and nothing in front of him only asphalt wide open. he put it in reverse. so today, the young latino driver is all sorry for knocking my bike over, i'm telling the donut shop story, he said after i ask he had insurance. and i'm getting totally discouraged thinking having any part of a genetic connection with these lames are depressing. so i'm checking the bike take it for 100ft ride and back. and i'm not the lawsuite type. kind of bragging how tough this has been. so pulls in the gas slot. i'm not done but i go get the change and i notice he drives around the dairy, drive thru, and notice also the alternator case has some scratches on the bottom, his car only had a mark on his plastic bumper, and i see what looks like his car on the other side. it wasn't him. i didn't get any info . so i take off and like usual get on street leading out of society, wide open as fast as i can. i get to the end and slow down and my bike dies. lol. #$%*. then it's making this horendous noise like the rotor is against the case, and there's a flat spot that looks broken on teh alt cover. what a moron i am. no more. i'm gonna find him. so i nursed it home stopping at the liquor store of course. the stupid forces are out to get me.

That sucks. Always get insurance info, if you don't need it and have it-no biggie. If you need it and don't have it- well you know.😡

Always get police on the scene, they'll get his info for you. Tell him he's had an accident and that it's unlawful to leave the scene of an accident. Also the police might be able to get his plate number from a security camera.

I think I'm almost due to having an assistant care giver with me,  not only did the turd eyes break the stat or case, but the headlight bucket has a bunch of chips all around the left side. And now the tach light is out. I did talk to a sheriff about getting the video (usa gasoline) either released or viewed to get the scene unfolding. I know the kid picked up the light housing chips so i would not see them, and the sheriff said to go the station and fill out a paper to get a file, he said a report wouldn't fly because they weren't called. So i said "so if it happens again give you guys a call?" And sure enough i get the same preferential treatment that I've always got, he said no, unless the other party doesn't want to exchange info. He started saying because they really couldnt verify what i claim, that's why i would like to open that file with the video. That was 1:50pm, at 2 I'm rolling up at the station. The clerk, or secretary  picks up her jacket and lunch box and says "I'm going home." So i say so come back tomorrow, she said she doesn't know if any one will be there. I got hit on a mountain bike rolled down the side of the guys wide open ford bronco breakin the mirror off. 2 eyewitnesses both had the license #. I'm bleeding, my bike is bent.  4 or 5 black and whites show up, take a report, they were training a new cute officer girl. I called em 6 months later to get an update. This is what he said. Well we found the guy, in Culver City an hour and 1.5 away. Said they talked to him at his girlfriend's front door. And he was driving her truck and he said that he stopped to see if i was ok. And then he left. My question to this sheriff was since when is felony vehicular hit and run with injuries, and property damage voluntarily optional in california, he said he'd run it by the DA and see if they'd want to do any thing about it. Never heard back. And it was during an elevated caseloads of bicylist and pedestrians getting plowed, and left in street. I had a spare alt and case. But i need another one now. Anyone got one in good shape? And a head light bucket?  I got good $. Or couple things to trade. A factory near mint condition 750 or a 1000 seat, i has 1 cut about an inch lick long somewhere around the bottom rear pan fold. Also a dual cylinder brake calipers and lines. Reservoirs, and peddle. No discs. Pads and master cylinder.
