DAMN! I'm really sorry to hear of your pain and loss. I hope you have been able to return (legally, this is a public forum) the favor.

That's pretty bent up. 😪 First rule of riding a bike. Never presume a cager has seen you. Even if you have right of way.

I'm kinda glad the frame is very noticeably bent. It has clearly been through a lot of stress, so I'd rather see you abandon it now than have something critical fail later. Still, sorry to see the damage. First rule of riding a bike. Never presume a cager has seen you. Even if you have right of way. I've grown to be like that even in cars and trucks now. I see people rolling up to a stop sign quickly and I start to slow down or at least let off of the gas. It's usually just that people have no idea how to drive and stay at speed too long and brake quickly, but I always think someone is gonna roll right out in front of me. I think it's mostly years on 2 wheels, but exacerbated by seeing so many people distracted driving in recent years.

This has been a rig session since I got this scooter, its gonna have new unheard of features such as! -seat supports -electric start -maybe turn signals??? Lol but yeah, ill take the motor and that good stuff. Thats the part that means the most to me, thats what this bike is. Its not the frame, its this engine

Honestly, i started slowing down to yell because i thought he was turning and just rolled through the sign like a dumbass. Then i guess he tried to go around me as i slowed down but i never completely stopped? But yes, im riding 110% evasive from now on. Doing whatever i have to do at all times. Ive actually almost had people pull out on me on the new bike i bought to daily replace this one!!! Literally the same crap. Talk about life flashing man 😂

I dont insure em just cause the payback on these old chinese bikes is so shit. You can buy a whole other bike for probably what the company would pay, which is so cheap already you overpay the price of the bike within a few years. It was a broke college kid, i aint suing him cause i wouldnt get anything
