Bill,
Being a bike rider, I can relate to that accident. Exactly the same thing happened to me when a Woman pulled out in front of me. I T-boned
here in the safest place on a car - the front wheel arch. In My case they couldn't separate the bike from the car. I'm guessing you wet over the bonnet - you will have some sore muscles after that stunt.
I hope the bike is OK!

Bill,

I am glad that you are OK.  I know that had to hurt.

I wasn't wearing a helmet, because we did not intend the bike to even move!

We were spinning the tire in soapy water. The tire unexpectantly gripped, (water ran out?) and launched the bike. I couldn't get it shut down as quickly as I would have liked. I had to release the front brake to fully untwist the throttle. I then managed to slow it down to about 20 mph.

The positive message here is that when we crunched the battery pack, NOTHING happened. No smoke. No flames. Not even sparks. Not only are these cells more powerful, they are the safest possible for automobiles.

Also, there was NO ONE in front of the bike or in the possible trajectory of the bike.
