Sure, it's a bit harsh. Thanks for shedding light on the background.

You're the first person on this thread that explains there was some sort of collision between the OP and a bus. So far the OP has told us Peruvian drivers drive by the rule of "Might is Right" = On a m/c you're at the bottom of the food chain. Some people knew this already, for others it's new news. Fine.

This is a very useful thread to be reminded that all 4 wheeled road users all over the world, particularly Peruvian bus drivers, are potential killers and that we should adjust our riding accordingly.

Then, every contribution from another poster leads to the reply "Sure, but..." by the OP. What are wrong with these contribution? They're on topic and relevant to the topic of riding/driving in Peru and South America/the world in general, as well as offering insight as to what it's like to drive 4 wheels and have erratic ("assertive"?) 2-wheelers coming towards them. I struggled to understand the extra points the OP was trying to make in his responses to the replies. Hence the harshness.

I wish the OP all the very best with fixing his bike and himself after his collision.

The Peruvian experience will allow the OP to be well prepared for riding anywhere on the Indian Subcontinent and Africa (as well as NYNY and Manningham, West Yorkshire )
