Another crash

[djcat]

deployed once in anger...well worth it.

Do tell.

Just a head on argument with an SUV taking the racing line through the right turn. Pity I was already waiting at the apex, 3/4 in on my lane to turn right...

Picture 1 shows how I ended up, picture 2 was after the nice racing gentleman helped me put the bike up where I was standing. We had to wait for the police to arrive and call the local council to take care of the petrol and oil on the tarmac.

Thanks for all your replies. I will take into account all the suggestios you have given to me for improving visivility. I allready did some of the things you say, as pressing a little bit the brake so that the brake light turns on, even if I am not really braking.
Someone said that it didn't look like a 50km/h crash... well, that was the main purpose of this topic. My Honda pcx (and I) have survived with almost none injuries. The scooter had a broken numberplate and some of the plastics of the left-rear side. But that's all, I just wanted to point how strong and well costructed our scooter is. The guy's volkswagen golf, on the other hand, was not that lucky...
I have been testing my scooter this week, and I can't find any weird noise what so ever (my engine was not replaced, just broken plastics and tail light), but the top speed is a bit low, just bout 100-105km/h. Is that normal? I hadn't tested my top speed before the crash so I have no reference.
Homie, I am not andyscooter, I am adrianwo. Poor man don't you want him to crash twice
Again, thank you for all your comments, I appreciate it.

Say homie...how did you tie the two of them together anywho? Each one of them only went bump in the night/day....once. I know, it's hard to keep track sometimes. My Birthday thread tells 'me' that

Adrian, I'm very glad you're okay. In the end that's all that matters. Your life. Cheers

Homie, I am not andyscooter, I am adrianwo.

Oh thank you for that correction... I don't like to hear about accidents and it was especially disturbing to have someone going off twice. I figure you made it out alive and nothing else bad is coming your way Adrian. Fix your bike and get back out there... you and Andy have both had your tumble and that's enough close calls.

It's sad to see any bike laying on it's side.

Not sure what you you meant by referring to all involved as Dicks. But, he did not say dick head. May not have meant to be offensive since words mean different things around the world. Found this out with my Australian friends.

Oh I did not feel insulted, to say in fact I thought that we would start a joyful back and forth of British jokes. Its part of the local humour, words alone just make for witty banter.

Mate, trust me...the IMPACT speed was not 50 km/h. If it was, you would have been catapulted over the entire car and landed behind it. I have seen it happen at lower speeds.

Here a link to a totally unrelated issue, it shows a crash test at 30mph (around 50 km/h). See the damage on the black cab and what happens to the unrestrained baby dummy. That is 50 km/h, not your crash.

There is plenty of indirect or implied censorship that occurs on this forum. Suggesting disregarding certain posts smacks of it. Isn't that protection a golden rule here?

I suggest some review the rules.
