Bike it totalled on front end.. normally not an issue but mT01 is a collectors bike, only produced between 2005 to 2009, so spares are few and DAMN expensive.. pipes alone are 3.5k... thank goodness for insurance
I am stiff, achy but good.. roadcraft skills help, and this accident could have been avoided but i am only new to this bike and overestimated how fast I could flip 270kgs over to the right after i semi committed to the left
he who hesitates is lost.. i got lucky the decision to lowside and jump/roll worked out...

Ya thanks man, bike can be fixed.. my boys still have a daddy.. thats more important. the old biddy woulda been 70 plus, probably close to 80, the guy in black shirt was behind her and not 300 meters before this she forced a truck onto the sidewalk and ran over road cones near a road works..
If you watch vid carefully you will see about a second before impact i jump/roll then watch the reflection in tacho.. see me standing there, i made eye contact with her, and she STILL continued to run over my bike.. and headed off down the road.. a pedestrian had to stop her to let her know she had hit me..
I have posted this everywhere i think motorcyclists are, and have asked everyone to spread it to their motor cycling mates/forums/facebook groups etc so that if this video causes only 1 motorcyclist to reconsider his riding methods or ATGATT then at least this misfortune had a silver lining
I always say take the best result from any situation and run with it
