That's a sweet ride!
Sucks the circumstances that led to it!
Your spandex road race suit(ha ha) keep the rash to a minimum?
I need to get back in biking. I used to ride about 20miles a day myself!
If motorcyclists think cagers are crazy they should try riding a bicycle!

That is one radical bike its awesome! My family started and owned a bicycle shop which we ran for 52 years before selling up and back in the day even the pro race bikes couldnt match whats available off the shelf nowadays!

Ha ha. My spandex power ranger suit will be covered by insurance lol. I actually faired well with the road rash. Luckily, as I just wear cammo shorts and happened to be wearing a sweat shirt because it was cool out. That helped. I'm sort of the anti road bike guy that happens rides a road bike.
My last bike had an aluminum frame and I always thought it was pretty light. This new carbon fiber bike is crazy light. I can pick the bike up with one finger if I get it right on the balance point. Seriously, one finger. It's super fast.
I do think that is the name of the color Coot. He he. Gonna get a helmet in a similar color. Maybe next time they will see me.

Great looking bike!!! That color is excellent. Now just get yourself a high vis helmet and jersey and you'll maybe be a little less likely to get run over again by some other texting dick hole... God, people suck.
Glad you didn't get hurt! Kudos on wearing a helmet. Bicycling can lead to a lot of the same head trauma as motorcycling, especially on the road. I planted my noggin into a huge rock at 15+ mph a couple years ago after my front washed out on a leaf covered corner off road. Had to buy a new helmet, but didn't have to buy a new head.

I ended up finding a helmet in the same obnoxious color. I also got these little LED lights that are super bright and can be set to flash. They are real small, but should help be seen. The front is white and rear is red. They just clamp on with a rubber strap. USB rechargeable. One on the seat post and one on the bars. There is no way someone is gonna miss me now!
