Coming from work this evening, was standing at a stop sign waiting for traffic to clear. Noticed a car in my rear view mirror, didn't seem like it would stop in the distance, moved a li'l forward to give her some room, next thing u know, BAM!! The car got wedged between the tail & the tire. Fortunately I didn't run into traffic. No broken bones & I was able to drive her home, all's good!

Watch ur back fella's, watch ur backs!!

Damn Vood........man that sucks..........least you were not hurt

What a stupid girl! I'm sorry that happened, but glad that you're OK. How's the bike? Were you at the front of the line or behind someone else? Imagine if you hadn't moved up some, or even looked back. :(
I can't agree more about watching your back. Too many riders just automatically put it in neutral to stare at their gas cap. I've made a habit of keeping my eye on who's rolling up behind me when I'm stopped. No matter their speed, I tap the brake a few times and move ahead if necessary. Once they've stopped, then I can focus my attention on other things, like my gas cap. :D

you did get her insurance info right?

you should get her number and make her do 'special' favors for you. hahaha. how can someone NOT see a bright colored motorcycle infront of them??

...... I'm just sayin....



Anyways, really glad to hear you're alright dude! Definitely could have been much worse! K know the feeling... back in '07 I got rear ended on my bike sitting at a light by an 88 year old in a new Benz. I was watching him in the mirror too and it looked like he was gonna stop, he just never did. A buddy of mine on an R6 got rear ended by a guy doing about 45-50 mph and didn't even slow down. He got VERY lucky that he didn't get hurt other than some very minor stuff!

Again glad you're alright and bike isn't too bad!

Thats one stupid girl, I think I would have flipped a boat on her, least she can do is pay for something if your bike was messed up and if not say somethings wrong and get money haha, sounds bad but what she just did was way worse in my book. At least she didnt do the one two I'm dipping on you like most people do when they hit a bike. Good thing your good, bike too...

That's one hell of a way to hold a bike up!

Glad your alright dude.

So was there any damage?

Damn dude glad your alright. Must have had a nice hold on that bike to keep her from going over or lunging forward out from under you. Well that sucks... but atleats you are okay. Bike have much damage?

As far as the damage goes, seems cosmetic so far. The license plate is all messed up, the light over the license plate is busted, my inspection sticker, don't know where it is. I'm also thinking the tire may need balancing. The pipe seemed a little off(didn't see any impact sights) but maybe I'm not seeing things right ;). I got a picture from the rear, let me know if you think the pipe's off - http://picasaweb.google.com/ashish.hareet/WreckIII#5358898123831600034

Nothing else seems out of line, the ride back home yesterday seemed fine, except I didn't drag with a viper :( for obvious reasons

On a side note, I drove past the stop sign & based on recollection & the pictures I got I'm sure I drove like 20+ feet beyond the stop sign before impact - http://picasaweb.google.com/ashish.hareet/WreckIII#5358905969217794098

And the most annoying part today was to get in my cage(which btw has no a/c) in the nice 100+ texas heat :( Oh well, I'll be back on 'er come Monday.

Be safe out there guys!

Geeeeez...glad you're ok and the damage doesnt look too bad. Stupid driver.

Glad to see your ok.

On the lighter side of things its called a bike stand. :icon_playing:

Well at least you can do is upgrade to a clear alternatives tail light. just retro fit it with a flashing 3x blinker. LOL:icon_bike:

Can you say license suspension...

Glad you're alright bro; sorry about the bike :(
