Had an accident on my Harley

Well I went out to the local convenience store to pick up a few things. On my way home some guy in a mini van turns left right in front of me. I was travelling about 30 mph and was only a few feet from the intersection when he decides to turn. I had the bike allmost stopped but the front tire (21" thin *** piece of junk that is coming off for a 16" tire directly) lost traction and the bike fell on the carb side. Mini van dude just drives away! Fortunately two people got his tag and gave statements so the cops wrote up a report of the incedent. What burns me up is because I did not actually hit him he is not guilty of leaving the scene! I don't undestand that at all. He was written a ticket for inproper turning though. I am a little stiff but not in the hospital so I guess it could have been much worse. The bike did get some sustantial damage including the gas tanks which had original paint and were 27 years old. I am so disgusted with the total lack of concern that motorists have around here anymore. They are so rude and do not pay attention as well as driving like maniacs.:angry5: I do not speed or drive agressively and I am glad that I am seeing the police writing plenty of tickets lately. I guess I should be glad that I did not get run over but if the guy was pating attention I would have continued home without any problems.
