Blind Sided

[xmishx]

Now I know what it must feel like being Joe Montana sitting in the
pocket and getting blind sided by Lawrence Taylor. I was on Lombard
waiting for the light to turn green at Interstate Ave. I was told that
the light turned green, but cars ahead again stopped for some
pedestrians. We all stopped, except for the car behind me. Cops
estimated the hit to be around 15 mph. For a moment, I had no idea
what had just happened. Just like you see when a camera man get
knocked over during some coverage of a sporting event, I saw motion,
then the underside of my bike laying next to me. I was conscience thru
it all, but it so felt like a dream. Some slow motion, the drip of
some liquid, prolly gas as I just filled her up. The commotion around
me was in real time as I layed motionless. I didn't want to move
because of the pain in my thigh and the left middle part of my back.
There was an ambulance within 2 minutes and they got me in a neck
brace and hard board. The ride to Legacy seemed to take forever in the
confines of a neck brace and being strapped in. I was in the ER way
too long with only bruises and contusions and some really sore
muscles. I'm home now, OK, just thinking about the movie Run Lola Run.

Anyway, I have no idea the condition of my bike. I couldn't really
get a good look at it from ground view. It has been towed to wherever
they tow vehicles in accidents. I was hit pretty hard from the rear,
then I hit the car in front of me. As for insurance, I'm not
thinking big returns as it is a 1978 Suzuki GS 1000. Not just any GS
1000, my GS 1000, not that the insurance company will give a damn.
