Lovely bike. Motorcycle and bicycle are both vulnerable on the road.


A few weeks before accident on my way to get new front tire. Engine off switch had vibrated closed. At this point I didn’t realize that’s why it shut down suddenly on freeway.


I had begun commuting on bike the 30 miles each way to save gas but only on Thur and Fri to reduce my chances of getting in accident. This was May 2016.


On Friday Oct 14, 2016 lady changed lanes into me. Bike was totaled. I was very lucky and wasn’t catastrophically injured. I was hurt but not as severely as I could have been
Lovely bike!
