So im heading down the interstate on my way to work, doing 80 riding behind a hummer. All the sudden he kicks up a 6 foot long heavy steel beam. SMACK right to the front of the bike and my hand and leg. My 2 fingers are already black and blue. I could barely pull the clutch to get the remaining 2 blocks to work. Weird thing is, it hit the bike hard, looked to me like it hit the heaflight, gastank, forks, and turn signal. But when i got to work there was no damage. At least that i saw. If it would have hit me above the handle bars it would have knocked me off the bike. it was that hard of a hit. Thank GOD im okay and its a plus that theres no noticable damage to the bike.

Jeez, you are on a bad streak!
Glad to hear you're okay though.
That certainly would have scared the crap out of me.

I look at it as your are amazingly lucky to not been hurt more than a couple sore hands. It could have been so much worse. With that said though...I probably wouldn't bother playing the lottery right now!

Glad you and the bike are ok Shimbo.

 

[UrbanRage]

Holy Sh!t Schimbo!! Gald to hear you are ok? It's a good thing you were able to hold on and keep control of the bike. Did the person in Hummer know what happen?

 

[schimbo stryker]

prob not. It bounced off me and hit the guy behind me too

 

[Strykeback]

Glad to hear you were not more seriously injured. That could have impaled you. I shuttered to think the worse. Hmmm your hand injuries would indicate that an object hit flipped up by another vehicle hit your hands and your bike, flipped up and bounced off your chest and scratched your tank on the way down. I swear that is what happened Mr. Insurance man.

 

[galo8]

wow man I'm glad you are ok, better check that hand, you may have a fracture there...

 

[Raven]

Wow man...glad to hear it turned out like it did. Could have been a lot worse. I saw a youtube video of a trailer kicking up a 2x4 and putting it throughout the windshield of the truck behind. You are very lucky

 

[strykenshane]

Dude, what the **** is up? You are on one ****ty luck run, glad to hear this wasn't any worse, here in GA I worry my ass off about truck tire scraps, when I was on my road trip I never saw another outside of GA, it's got to be something with the pavement makeup here

 

[straightjacket]

Glad it didn't take you out! You know there's one more coming, when crap like this happens it allways seems to happen in threes! Maybe you missed something and its allready over?

 

[sfcmcgan]

Brother Schimbo... Be safe bro!!! Crap always hits me in 3's!!! Getting whacked with a piece of steel on an interstate is real bad luck!!!

x2! I would watch your step for a while. Glad you made it out OK!

This past week we were pulling a horse trailer (with a horse on board) on the Turnpike. I was in the right lane and a tractor trailer was in the left right next to me. All of a sudden we both saw most of a tire in the middle of the left lane. The tractor trailer locked his wheels up right next to my driver window. Scared the sh_t out of me. Somehow he managed to move over enough to his left to straddle it. I was just afraid he would kick it up right into us. Then about another two miles down the road there was a triaxle truck with one missing tire and another one about to shred (still driving though with his flashers on!). I just gunned it to get past him before something else came flying off. That was enough excitement for a while.

Steel beams. Keyed paint. Stay out from under dark clouds! Do they sell lightning rods for the Stryker???

 

[schimbo stryker]

Lol. Well while i was doing my oil change just now i found the damage

 

[ssgtbarnes]

**** dude! Like everyone else has said, I'm glad you're okay. Unfortunately your fix-it list keeps getting larger and larger.

 

[J4patrice]

Glad you are ok. That is terrible luck.

 

[saclean]

Wow found the thread, sorry about that. Hope your hand and leg are not fractured.

 

[immortal13]

Holy horrible luck Batman! Glad you kept it right side up man. I'm always afraid of **** flying up off the road more than anything else...that's why I always wear a full face helmet.

 

[mkohnen]

Glad you are ok as well, maybe you too need a bike timeout.

 

[toby]

Wow saying prayers for you brother.
