I was the recipient of a 35 mph love tap from a riding buddy not paying attention

Oh that sucks!! Bet he feels almost as bad as you. I have a backrest and have never really thought about that added benefit and hope I never have to find out.
Good luck getting the bike back in shape.
Hope your riding buddy was ok.

Wow! Glad you're OK!! Got the backrest on mine, but never thought it would help if rear ended. Hope insurance takes care of it all, including an eye examination for your "friend."
