Cross Bones gets rear ended
So there I was waiting for the light to turn red as the rays of the sun showered my sight. The light turns green and I begin to release the clutch and turn the throttle when suddenly the bike slides from under my crotch, I'm flung forward and solidly plant my right foot on the asphalt quickly followed by my left foot as if I was running. I hear a loud smash as I stop running and turn around only to see my love on it's right side like a dead dog on the road. I quickly ask myself how the F@ck this happened and begin to look at the damages done by my unfortunate and rookie mistake of over acceleration. The handlebars are resting on the gas tank, the rear light is busted, the crash bar took the entire impact of my misfortune and the mirrors and turn lights also received a light shower of scrapes. I haul away my busted bike to the side of the road and begin to turn it back on..suddenly this Di*ck head taps my shoulder from behind and begins to apologize...apologize for what? I thought, Well as it turns out he tells me the sun had blinded him and he thought I had accelerate so he moved his piece of Sh*t truck and it hit my rear light cover and subsequently catapulted me back and made me over accelerate my lover causing me to accelerate and cause the unfortunate accident. Moral of the the story "Be carefull because you can get hit even if the bike is standing still" ohh and Crash Bars ROCK

That happened to me a couple of years ago. A high school girl was on the phone, looking backward and wham. It was pretty slow speed but still did over $5000 damage to the scooter. Their insurance paid and instead of waiting on parts I upgraded the '05 to an '09, so things worked out fairly well. Glad you're not hurt too badly.
