So I'm on my way to work this morning at 7:30 and while stopped at a stop sign waiting for crossing traffic, bam I get rear ended. No damage to me other than a little stiffness starting to set in. The guy just got off mids and was taking his kids to school. Tired and not paying attention. Not sure what scared him more, hitting me or me jumping up from the ground with some colorful language and looking like I was ready rip his head off. Now for the bike damage: rear fended smashed, turn signals bent/broken/smashed, tail light smashed, plate mount bent, exhaust dented and scraped, right side hand control scraped, bars tweaked, right forward control scaped.
I was able to go home get some tools and remove the tail light housing so I could bend the fender out enough to ride it home.
I have to say I'm impressed with both Allstate(mine) and Progressive(his) insurance. The accident took place across the street from my agent so while I was waiting for my wife to pick me up I walked over and he called progressive for me and within an hour I had an adjustor assigned who called me and wanted to know where I was taking the bike so he could meet me.

 

Do not let them cut any corners on your repair, they may try to get out of paying for any non stock parts you have added. Do not hesitate to go get checked out also many accident victims put it off and when the problem pops up it is to late to claim it on their insurance...

 

Damn, that sucks. Glad you're OK.

Time to bob the fender and go side-mount plate?

 

Geez...sorry to hear that. Good thing it didn't end up worse. I hope you get your bike back up and looking good soon. Maybe you'll get some extra insurance cash and do some mods you may have been thinking about.

 

glad you are OK!!!

 

dayum !!!!!!! SORRY TO HEAR THAT...GLAD YOUR ALRIGHT!!!

 

I just had lunch and about lost it when I saw these pictures! Nice to hear you were not hurt, but
when you wake up tomorrow with a sore and stiff neck be sure and go to the emergency room.

 

Damn! That fender is painful to look at. Amazing that you and the bike were both ok enough to ride away. Any idea how fast the guy was going at the point of impact?

Glad you're good, brother.

Cheers,
J

 

Sorry to hear about this misfortune.
Just my .02, the damage to the bike and the potential for personal injury are two separate issues. Dont be too quick to settle on your personal injury or potential for. You maybe a little sore today but could get worse later. good luck. In our state PIP is ten grand, should at least get somethin for all the pain and suffering your going through, hire a personal injury attorney to help you out, you will be way ahead in the long run.

Glad you're alright. Almost ironic, Put on all kinds of miles on the road and involved in an accident standing still.
