Asshole trying the beat the green (and clearly didn't see me) at an intersection took a left in front of me and required me to lay the bike down. Thankfully I had just gotten the green and was going slow so the lay-down was a low speed and I rolled off the other right and escaped with a lightly bruised right thigh and sore right shoulder. That said, if wasn't wearing a helmet I would probably have a concussion or worse.
What I didn't do (and that put me in harm's way) was wait a beat or two when the light turned green before taking off (clearly that doesn't put me in the wrong, but I know if i'd been more vigilant it would've been a one-finger salute instead of a bike in the shop).
Her insurance will end up paying and I'm not hurt, so it's more a pain in the ass than anything. A little reminder that when I'm riding the bonnie to go get breakfast I need to focus more on the road and less about tasty johnny cakes from the Deluxe Town Diner.
