Glad you're up and about, all things considered. Heal fast brother.

 

Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you are OK. It's fortunate that you kept the bike up or it could have been a lot worse. That looks like an easy fix though.

 

Glad you're OK, but this is a great question! Very rarely is it not your fault when you rear end someone. So OP, in hindsight, is there something you'd have done and/or will do differently in that situation?

 

first off glad to hear your alright, sucks to have our bikes messed up but they're fixable. better it gettin busted up than you. glad your ok

 

Sorry to hear about this but I am glad your okay!!!

 

Glad you aren't hurt too bad and the bike is fixable. Got to watch those crazy cagers, they are all out to kill us.

 

That similar accident happened to me a year ago last August but didn't go over the windshield but I did go up on the tank and fall over. Damage was @$2500 as I didn't have the rear bag guards. The shop said due to the same distance around the bells that there was no damage to the forks. I found out later that they were bent slightly when I had my chrome fork lowers put on. Just because the distance around the bells look the same, I can say there "CAN" be a slight bend in the stanchion tubes! Noticed this after I tightened up through the triple tree and when the axle was placed through the wheel I had over a 3/8 gap too much between the forks. This told me the tubes were bent slightly because I didn't get the tubes in the same position as they were when taken down/off. Rolled the original tubes on a flat surface and you could see a slight bend on the upper ends. I ended up "out of pocket" ordering new stanchion tubes and all was fine.

 

Done differently? I can't say that.

I know that in the future I am going to give plenty of following distance leading up to those park & ride on-ramps from now on.

Also, I have learned that my rear brakes are a whole lot easier to lock up when it is in the 40's outside than in the 70's when I did my emergency stop practice.

 

Glad you are ok. The fender can be replaced.

 

Glad to hear you’re alright. Hope you get your ride fixed back up soon.
