Glad you are ok brother, so she was turning left on to the road, from a parking lot ?
It blows my mind how these people can not see and HEAR us ! I have been a truck driver a good part of
My life, driving upwards of 250,000 miles a year in crowded Southern California, and been driving/riding
For almost 40 years, and NOT ONCE have I ever come close to hitting a motorcycle ! NEVER ! Loud exhaust
Or not ! And In all those years, I only had 1 accident that was my fault, I was 16, and turning left and I guess the sun was in my eyes or something .... But it was a car, I WOULD HAVE HEARD A MOTORCYCLE with an aftermarket exhaust,
Or even a stock exhaust ?
The last old lady would surely have killed me or at least paralyzed me, if not for my years of experience
On a motorcycle !!!

Thanks guys;)Yeah...single lane...I was doing the speed limit(25 or something around that)...she saw me coming...and tried to zip out ahead of me....There was NO traffic coming the other way...she could have waited 5 more seconds before pulling out.There were two 1/2 ton trucks parked just off the right.Had she kept going in that radius...I would have ate it.As an aside...she turned right just at her first chance;)Guess she didn't want to pull up behind me...you know those bikers...they can be pretty harshLOL!!!I wasn't pissed...shit happens...but yeah..a little surprised she pulled that when she didn't need to;)Keep yer eyes open my Bros....people pull some strange shit .....

Glad you saw it coming bro. It's funny that it happens so often that we usually see it coming a mile away. Riding bikes necessitates that we are half psychic and half psychotic. lmao
