Default my first accident

Got into my first accident yesterday.
Waiting at the end of an off ramp to move into traffic, and was rear-ended.
Luckily the car was going only 8-10mph - nobody hurt.
I was able to hold on to the bike - but he wrecked my rear fender.

Now I have to wait for the insurance process to work.
I'll be without my ride for at least a couple of weeks.

man - I'm pissed. I am getting withdrawals already.

Sorry to hear about it, but anytime you can walk away from a miss, near or not, it's a good thing!

Could have been a lot worse. Least it was a minor thing.

So glad you are OK - even though it was "only" 8 MPH, you could have been seriously hurt.&nbsp\\; I am always looking in my rearview after getting rear-ended twice in cars!
