Default Biker Down in Palm Harbor 07/09/07

Bike = Buell. ( Don't know anything about Buell's so I can't tell you year or cc's )

So this afternoon, I was traveling South on US 19 from Alderman Rd. in Palm Harbor and right after passing Nebraska Ave, I look to the left RANDOMLY and the first thing I see is a guy falling OFF his bike and TUMBLING on the asphalt. So the first thing I do is freak out. I keep repeating to my bf "OH MY GOD, WE HAVE TO GO OVER THERE AND MAKE SURE HE'S OKAY. OH MY GOD." So he's like okay okay [ because he knows I'm the one driving.. so yeah. AND since I want to become a paramedic, I'm all about other people n saving lives. ALSO we both plan on getting bikes in the very near future, so we look out extra carefully for bikes. ]

So we do a U-Turn and pull off the side of the road. Run up to him and he's got people around him already.. and what seemed to happen was that this hispanic lady jumped 3 lanes of traffic and was turning into a plaza I guess and didn't see him, so he hit her. There was a huge dent in the passenger side taillight n rear quarterpanel. So he fell off his Buell and was lying there. We all were making sure he was okay. The passenger of the car got the dudes sidekick and dialed a number and put it up to the guys ear.. I was like wtf? So then I was asking them if we should get the bike out of the turning lane and they were like "No. Keep it there for the cops." And what does the douche do like 10 mins later? Move his effing car. I was like... .wow. The guy seemed fine.. no road rash, just his knuckles bleeding a little. He had pants on, shoes on and THANK GOD a helmet on. We waited till the firetruck left n then left. But whew, that image will be in my head forever.

I was really curious if he was on here or not. He looked about in his 20's, so who knows.
