Had a work meeting in Charlotte. Pleasant ride there. Good meeting. Heading home - north on Eastway Dr. as I am coming up to Central Ave I see a black Acura come out of a shopping mall across the street. They speed up as the cross into the center lane then keep coming over. And coming over. Move to the far right of my lane by the curb. They keep coming. Slam on the brakes honk the horn but they hit me anyways. New bike less than a week old. Knock me over the curb onto the sidewalk. Pisses me off. They take off. I race down the sidewalk. Get back on the road and chase them down Central with the help of a pickup with a Harley-Davidson sticker in the back window. Call the cops as I chase. They pull over into a parking lot and say I never saw you and did not know i hit you. Gimme a break. Their window was down and I was yelling through it as they hit me. $3k worth of damages. Bike in shop getting fixed. Gonna add a few farkles while it is in there. Fortunately no injuries and I did not go down. I am getting a camera. Any suggestions?

Damn Steve, that just sucks a biggun. Glad you are ok. Given the part of Charlotte you were in I am making assumptions re. the driver but might be wrong, but this reinforces my objective to get the hell out of Charlotte (to Morganton) as soon as I possibly can. Close calls are a way of life for me, so far no collisions in Charlotte (knock on wood). This was the F6b right? Hopefully its all cosmetic damage. I hope the driver was charged with failure to stop etc.

There are lots of cams made for cars, and of course theres the GoPro and others for bikes. Couldn't hurt. Esp. if you continue to risk life and limb in this madhouse.

Yea it was the new F6B. And I was hit by a young Hispanic woman without a drivers license.

There are several out there mostly for the automotive community. Search "dash cams" and you will see several options. Most are based on technology like we use in police in car cameras. They are constant recorders in either 30 or 45 second cycles. At the end of the cycle it dumps and starts a new cycle. If something happens you touch the button and it starts a hard recording plus the previous 30-45 seconds. They could be adapted to a MC mount. Walmart sells the Garmin unit for $45. Hope this helps

I bought an Apeman trawo. Good price excellent quality
