Methmouth bike rider vs. 71 c10
Like the title says..... Just got my c10 back on the road two days ago after ten months in my garage. Did a LS swap, interior, and lowering. Ran great and drove straight, and looked good. Yesterday took it down to the auto parts stor to pick up part for sons blazer. Weather was nice, windows down and listening to those magnaflows rumble and feeling proud about what my son and I accomplished on the 71. All was going fine until the ride home...driving down the road doing about 40mph(road is divided by a cement curbed medium) when a damn biker rider, followed by his unleashed dog, ride right out into my path! Right damn in front if me! Split second reflex of swerving to the left away from him to not run his butt over and kill him and his dog. Truck hits the cement curb with the left front tire. Brakes lock up. The force and angle that I hit the curb, causes my ass end to whip around and I land right on top of the medium. Luckily I didn't get hit by the cars behind me. I look up right into the face of the bike rider..he smiles and laughs with his mouth full of meth teeth and takes off. The anger I felt at the moment wasn't legal in this state. If I got my hands on him...first pictures of my truck. Then photos of the damage. Looks like two bent lower A-arms, bent center drag link, and a cracked oil pan. Haven't checked wheels yet for trueness.
