Minor Damage and I walked away with a sprained wrist.
Was riding north on the left lane on the west side Highway in NYC last night at 12:45AM when a minivan driving male with his entire family in the car decides to change lanes without checking his left. he gets halfway into my lane before i can slam on my horn and swerve to miss him. I was literally traveling next to the driver side window, not sure how he didnt see me. I end up headed straight for the center island. I manage to stop the bike but i drop it. clutch handle snapped in half and my rear view mirror came off. some scratches on the left fender.
The worst part is. I get up to take a picture of his license plate, and the idiot slams on his gas with me in front of his car, i put my hands up in a please dont hit me kind of way, and he skids to a stop barely hitting me. then he yells at me, "you fell over on your own. I didnt hit you" and he takes off. insurance company will not file a claim because no witnesses came forward. there were plenty of witnesses, but its NYC. nobody gives a crap about you unless your bones sticking out and they can you tube it. wrist is pretty swollen not from the fall, but from extending my arms when he tried to run me over.
