I have a 17 year old that fits that discription just begging for her drivers permit.
This dad is fighting that off with all efforts. LOL

I'll warn you guys if she ever gets it.

I do the same thing

Man that really sux. I got hit from behind too at a red light.
Glad you're ok, but give it a couple days to make sure.
How bad is the bike?
How good is her insurance?
Did you call the police and was she cited?

Were you injuried in anyway? Most folks feel a bit stiff the next day or two.

I was taught to leave it in 1st in case you gotta make a quick getaway from a brain dead driver. I've actually had to do it too.

I feel fine but it was a pretty good jolt. I had really no place to go even if it was in gear. I
think the damage would have been much worse if I had the brakes on.


Im not the sueing kind and only want my bike fixed back to the way it was.
