I was involved in a very bad accident on my JCL 250A scoot. The driver coming toward me on a narrow road lost control while travelling at an excessive speed. The car started doing 360's toward me and I had no way to avoid it. After I determined that I could possibly avoid it by moving to the left lane I started heading that way putting me at about a 30 degree angle to that car. I "almost" made it. I was hit on the right side of the scoot with the drivers (Left) side of the door. The scoot and I was thrown violently into the side of the car and then across the handlebars and through the scoots windshield when it hung-up on the drivers side mirror. Due to the scoots step through design my leg/body was not crushed between them as would have happened on a "classic" motorcycle. I was actually able to stand up and walk away from it altho I suffered bruising of my torso and ribs. After 30 days I'm still suffering from bruised ribs. My doctor does not understand why they did not break from the forces involved. He also told me to expect some level of pain from them for at least 3 months and possibly for as long as 6 months. I'm currently shopping for another scoot. I keep looking at different models but for some reason I keep wanting another, still available, 2007 JCL 250A.
