Macvert, Your story make me remember one that happen to me.
On the way home from the office, on one road section an old men with his motorcycle loaded with good who was in the middle of the lane decide to turn right without any signal.
This section have traffic, I was not running fast (25 km/h) but can't do nothing for avoid the old men. When he decide to turn I was half on his side. His rear wheel hit my front wheel (or vice versa). I didn't fall, but him he fall. I whit other help him to get on his feet put back the goods that fall on the road, he was alright, the bike was alright, he do try to have money from me, I keep polite but didn't give him money and everyone go back his way.
2 day later ON THE EXACT SAME PLACE another accident happen.
This time thinking having learn something from the previous accident I was now running even more slow then habitually and in the middle of the lane. You know, the left part for the one turning left, the right part for the one turning right and the middle for the one going strait.
But it look like I learn for nothing...
I was driving at 20 on this section and another old man running 15 decide to turn LEFT from the right side of the lane and that just when I was passing him. But this time I was right aside him.
His Foot rest got stuck in between the engine and the frame, both bike become tie together.
Him don't really react and desperately try to turn left to get in his gang (small road).
I try to get off of his bike and was not able, seeing thing are going to mess up I throw my-self out of the bike by the back.
I think I have a left over of reflex from the Aikido, when the bike hit side to side I had the reflex to get out my leg of in between the two bike, this later allow me to trow myself out of the bike.
The poor old man has his feet in between the 2 motorcycle. Too much old for doing acrobatic move to get out of there... and fall.
Me I was walking behind them and saw him, still seating straight, falling on his right side bringing my bike upper them as it was still stuck into his motorcycle.
The poor man was stuck still seated on his bike on his side with my motorcycle upper them.
Fortunately he didn't have any serious injury.
I had trouble to unstuck my motorcycle out of their and people help me to put back the men on his feet.
The crowd disappear very fast leaving me and the old men alone for deal with the our business.
At first he try to make me believe all the scratch on his motorcycle was because of our accident and it was MY FAULT.
My bike have almost nothing, I had a short talk with the old man and I agree to give him a 50 000rp (which is almost nothing).
He give me a nice show, it was (almost) funny to see him fall with the 2 bike and he was lightly hurt at the ankle (probably fake it for it look more worse).
I got pity of him so didn't bother to offer him a good lunch on me.
I find another road to go work and never pass by this road section anymore.
