On the way back from work last night a mate of mine got knocked off his fireblade by a car at a junction. He was pretty lucky in a sense as he was only doing 30 when he got knocked off, as well as he is 1 of the only bikers at work who wears his leather jacket into work. On the not so good side his work trousers disintergrated and thou he didnt break anything his legs were bloodied up and as he came off the bike landed on his left shoulder.

Now the part that really pi**ed me off. As he lay there bloodied and spread out on the road, bike on its side. No one bothered to help him! BTW it was the tail end of rush hour so was still pretty busy. And instead of helping, everyone started beeping him to get up and go bleed somewhere else and stop blocking the road! Everyone just kept beeping and horning till he picked himself up and they didnt stop till he had moved his bike too!!!

Not a single person gave a dam about the fact he had just been knocked down by a car that had sped off or the fact he was bleeding all over his legs. They just wanted him to get out the way so they could get home!!!

I really cant believe so many people can behave like this. Saw my mate this morning. Hes not too bad considering. Legs all banadged up, his shoulder has really swelled up and he cant raise his arm. Got a week off work, which isnt too good as we work as contractors, so if we r not at work we dont get paid :( Plus he now needs a full set of fairings.
