So what exactly did you do Pink Flea?
I've heard the stories on the other two (biker and gravel, correct?), just not your incident.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm. You're just leaving it at that? That's like saying "hey I meant to tell you something" to someone and then not telling them.

This happened last September with my RX8 "Flea" at BOTD:
Day 1: "broken belt" in my left rear tire running the hell bender. So early thursday morning Flea was towed out on a flat bed into Knoxville for a new set of rear tires. Day 2: Spent in Knoxville getting the tires.. got to run the dragon that evening coming back to the village. The only killboy shot of Flea on the dragon was from this day... On the back of the flatbed!.. But hey.. Flea is so badass she made that tow truck her bitch and hitched a ride! Day3: White water rafting!!! We had a great time... and then we met the waterfall.... And my face met a paddle.. My friend Nic totally bitch slapped me with his paddle as he was flying out of the raft! So fat lip big deal. We got back to the village and I kinda sorta tried to back down a steep driveway, 2 wheels off the ground later I was stuck off the side of this mountain of a driveway.. Luckly it was where EVERYONE was hanging out so there where plenty of people to lean on my car and back it down so it didnt flip over. Day4: The show and shine!! Flea had her new shoes and looked so pretty... Almost as much as me.. yep, "you shure are a purrdy yougin" thats what the locksmith told me 3 hours later as he was getting my keys out of my car.. as I was missing the car show ...(I also managed to lock myself out of my cabin the same day) I made it back to the headquarters in time to catch the awards and raffles where I won "star of the event"... No introduction necessary, I was already infamous. Now it was time for the caravan to the dragon to make some great runs!! There was a little knock in the front of the car.. Alignment I planned on getting fixed when I returned home. We where right there!! Right at the last turn before the dragon! The last BLIND curve that is, with about 40 RX8's in a line. I turned the curves and there was a stopped line of 8's I slammed on brakes and I made it!!!! I didnt hit Dawn's 8!! But then BAM, Darby hit me and then John hit him! Darby hit me so hard my license plate embedded RX8CLUB.COM backwards into his front bumper, the license plate then only said RX8CU B.com and has since dwindled down to RX8 COM. All the guys up ahead where on the 2 ways saying WRECK WRECK!!! WAS IT JANNA??!! At least this time it was not my fault but now the knocking was REAL bad! We all limped back to the cabins and I asked one of the guys to check the knocking to see if I would be able to make it home. The Wreck actually saved my life, my lug nuts had come loose and if I had run the dragon I would have lost a wheel and gone off the side of the mountain! So I did have good luck after all!! |

From what I hear, they were both on/near the double yellow line so it wasn't really the biker's fault. Now, that's just the story I heard...

still...if the bike hits the car...and did that much dmg im voting its the bikes fault. But were the authorities involved to take care of damages or did we have a hit and run?

Again though, they kinda hit each other (2nd hand information). Both on the double yellow, side swiped each other.
