Reply #18: I was purposely hit by a motorist while on my Harley.

It happened on "private property", and the accident led to a physical altercation in which I smashed this person face until he was damn near un-conscious. Little did I know at the time that my shoulder was fractured in two places. When the police showed up, officer Judge & Jury convicted me on the spot. All he had to do was see my bike laying on its side, and suddenly I was the "Bad-Ass Biker/Troublemaker". Point is, the asshole stated that he would "kill me" after he had been playing chicken with me for a few miles. As I attempted to go around him in a parking lot, he turned the wheel into me and hit the gas. The cops refused to cite him for ANYTHING! No attorney would touch my case because the cop didn't cite anyone "at fault". When I jumped up off of the ground, the fucker came at me which led to a fist fight. Hopefully he will never screw around with a person on a motorcycle again. I got some beautiful upgrades on my bike and a prescription for pain-killers out of the deal.

People in cars just do not give a damn about your safety when you're riding. I've had people tail-gate me, swerve at me, pull out in front of me, and mostly it's not intentional. But for someone to purposely hit a person on a motorcycle with their car is nothing short of attempted vehicular homicide, period.
