The little guy laying on the road was his fat girlfriend. LOL! Nice drawings though, reminds me when I was in elementary.

Damn, suck that happen man. Easy fix on the 3" dent?

Well, with the way that motorcyclist was riding, it seem like he wouldnt be around long. That reckless riding will get to him, this time wasn't the cliff or your car, but it be something else.

Just imagine, you almost add some red color on your car in the picture.

But for pictures & helping the fat girl, that is a true gentleman.

Sorry to hear dude, but this is also why i hate motorcyclist. Sick drawing though, so detailed


Try seeing a paintless dent repair and see how much they would charge to fix it. But yeah i got hit yesterday as well, my rear bumper and now i gotta get it repainted and replace a reflector.

First and foremost, I'm happy to hear that everyone is (relatively) o.k.

Second, the motorcyclist is truly at fault.

California laws allow motorcyclists to split lanes. However, if there is only one lane (going in one direction), then they should not be able to "split" the lane (because there is nothing to split). The only way a motorcyclist can pass is if the middle lane (between opposing traffic) allows vehicles to pass slower vehicles to the left.

All vehicles, automobile nor motorcycle, should NEVER pass on the right, especially on the shoulder. That's a $500 ticket if the driver is caught.

Ultimately, the motorcyclist learned a valuable lesson; unfortunately, at your expense. Get your car fixed and I hope you have better days on the road real soon...

I'm a courteous motorcyclist.

I may split lanes, but only when safe and allowed, and never more than 10 mph more than the rest of traffic.

Maybe 20 mph...

Yeah, i have to say it, motorcyclists **** me off too. I have almost hit so many of them because they come flying in between lanes. It's hard to change a lane because they move so fast and sneak up on you. I swear I'm gonna hit one some day, not that I'm trying to, but christ 90% of them drive like complete A-holes.

In other states you can't pass between lanes for what I think are obvious reasons... stupid CA laws.

Dude, sorry to hear this about your hood, but the drawing is amazing indeed

Here in Georgia, motorcyclists are not allowed to split lanes, but I've seen some crazy dudes still do it. One paticular example was a guy with his girl in the back splitting lanes in a major rain storm. He was riding in between the HOV lane and the rest of the regular lanes, right on the painted double-line that's riddled with a crap load of reflectors. Not the kind of surface you want to be on riding a bike in a rain storm. Some people either have some very poor judgement or lack of sense that's common..

Good luck with getting your hood repaired.
