F*ckin moron who has no business driving tried to make an illegal u-turn from the far lane, cut me off. I managed to move left enough to avoid serious damage.
The engine guard took the most of the impact and bent back quite a bit, and even snapped in one section as you can see in the pic. bent my brake pedal and floorboard mounts.
My knee got mashed into his door, but If it wasn't for that engine guard, I'm sure my lower leg and foot would have sustained injury as well.
Ride safe brothers.

I hit a coyote in the dark at 5:00 in the morning running about 50 mph 2 years ago. He hit the right fork / lower fairing and blew the lower fairing into pieces and bent the crash bar back fully 5". The coyote then ricocheted off into the woods.
As I replaced the broken parts a week later I realized more than once that had that lower fairing / crash bar not been there to take the hit, my right leg would have. ( And probably would have looked a helluva lot worse than my broken bike parts too.) I kind of like having them on the bike.
Glad you're OK and the offender is taking care of it.
