Default Me + Bike + blind top hill + Idiot = Down

So, Yesterday around 1pm me and a friend are on our way back from the hess, riding on powell, im in front and comming up on a hill that you cant see over, with of course a double yellow line, next thing i see is a car reaching the peak of the hill, no problem, then suddenly a Huge white caprice appears from out behind it right directly in front of me no more thatn 40-50 feet ahead, instinctivly i grab the brakes and head right towards the side of the road, well this moron who is passing on a blind hill, in a no passing zone sees me NOW, and also heads towards my side of the road, His left, i see this and am now heading for a head on collision with him for a second time, and i try to go back left, which didnt happen soo smoothly, the forward momentum throws me and the bike on its right side the second i go back left, i hit the ground, and start rolling on the road, and off into the dirt, i see the bike slide past me then im face down in the dirt, and land on my back.( i was goign about 50-60) Only thing i could do for a few seconds was breath and make sure i wasnt severly injuried. I get up in pain and see the bike and take my gear off, my buddy is running over and yelling at the other cars to go and get the guys plates, this is when i realize that the Piece of shit didnt stop, but drove back on the road and kept going.

IM ok except for being sore and some road rash on my side and knee, the bike on the other hand did actually well for the speed i was going, Needs a new mirror, front brake lever, master cylinder, front faring brace, bar end, frame slider, exhaust, and faring replacement or repair.

Here are some pics! Watch out for these hills you cant see over!

Mike, glad you are ok!! Glad your rash is so limited especially considering the pants/material.

How is your hand? I see the glove looks like it tore all the way through?

Your bike looks great! You can't even tell it went down.
