Out hiking with my wife in a state park here in Indiana, and while we were gone, a women backed into my 2010 Road King. She backed 45 feet across a nearly empty parking lot to dump my bike. Her bumper contacted the left saddle bag and dumped it over onto the non kickstand side. All the damages seem to be superficial and easy to fix. Amazingly, it did not crack or break the saddle bag, just left a black mark. Some dings etc on the opposite saddle bag and elsewhere. She has insurance and did leave a note. A good Samaritan fishing nearby heard the crash and came over and took these pics. He and his buddy also put it back up on the kickstand as it was leaking gasoline. We got back a couple hours after it happened. Had to twist a highway peg out from under the brake pedal to get it in riding order, but no problems riding it home at all.
My question, are there any potential hidden damages that I should look for. Don't want to get it repaired and then find additional or bigger problems. Thanks.
Very nice that the witnesses stepped up on your behalf. Had they not been so proactive, taking all of the photo's etc. the note from the idiot woman may have been a shopping list.
Same thing happened to a friend. Was a pretty big bill when all the damage was tallied up. Have a dealer look at it and work with the insurance adjuster. Make sure they make note of any and all scratches/dings. You'll be amazed what damage is caused with an accident like yours. The woman is going to be shocked at what it's going to cost to get your bike back to the way it was.
Man that suxs. Stupid idiot, people should learn to drive. You're lucky the guys were there to take pictures. Get the dealer to look it over well. Hope it out works out for you
