Well some stupid lady turns right in front of me. I'm doin 25 - 35 mph and grab all the brakes I got.
Able to get the bike stopped just short of hitting the GMC Yukon but in the process I am tossed over the right side and into the rear quarter panel of that Yukon. :o
Left a couple nice big dents with my shoulder and helmet. But walk away with only a sore neck and elbow.
The connie lands hard on the right side smash there goes the mirror and scratches on almost everythng on the right side. >:(
Next thing I look up she turned her rig around like she is going to drive away. I start yelling at her she better pull over.
Same ol story I looked and didn't see nothing there.
I was able to drive it home and everything else seems good. Have to take off some plastic to be sure.

So did she stop? Was she found at fault? give us more! Glad (it seems) you are going to be OK???

Watch that sore neck and mellon, don't be surprised it gets worse in a day or two. Make sure you let your Dr. know what happened, and your insurance comp. Don't let something like this go, it can creep up and bite you later down the road, no pun intended.
Hope you can get here for all it's worth.
Ride safe all.

yep she pulled over, initially I couldn't tell if it was her vehicle or another suv at the scene. I was yelling at her. Did you hit me? You better pull over. Adrenaline was runnin a bit high. I wasn't quite sure if she was trying to id the other vehicle for me or what. Since she was in her vehicle pointed out of the gas station. Where the vehicle I just hit turned into.
Officer at the scene identified her as the driver at fault. After all she made a left turn right in front of me.
Sore neck and right arm today. But a little ice and I am feeling pretty good overall.
The right mirror took the most damage the rest of the damage is scratches on all the plastic, right bag and exhaust.
Helmet took the rest of the damage.
PSA: ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
If I had not been wearing the helmet my face would have taking the rear quarter of that suv square on and I know who wins in that situation.

Just to be on the safe side-go see a Doc. These things have a way of wrecking havoc on you down the road. If ya really like the lady who led to this incident, just skip the trip.
Hope all works out, keep them peeps roving and ride safe y'all,
