WeaponZeroThis same thing happened to my dad once. Well, it was similar. He was stopped at a stop light with a truck in front of him. It was a road with no other lanes. He was on his old Honda CB350, which was one of the cheapest bikes money could buy back then. The woman behind him apparently didn’t notice there was a motorcycle in between her and the truck, so she kept going planning to stop a meter or so from the truck. My dad saw her pulling up and because it was a narrow road and the truck was huge and took up all the space there was no escape route except into the oncoming traffic lane to the left. That wasn’t an option so he sat there, hoping she would stop. She didn’t and she crushed my dads bike between her car and the truck. My dad was okay because he dove off the bike and ran off the road when he realized she wasn’t stopping. The woman turned out to be wealthy but did not have insurance, and both my father and the truck driver agreed that as long as she paid for the repairs to the truck out of her pocket and bought my dad a new bike they wouldn’t report the incident. My dad ended up getting a brand new Honda 400-Four Cafe’ Racer that year…
