Default Ouch

Went down Friday.
Got hit in the front wheel by a car. The driver had his head down setting his clock. I knew he was going to hit me and all I could see inside his car was the top of his head and his hand on the steering wheel. Was not hurt at all but a couple of thousand in cosmetic damage. Bummer

Sorry to hear about the damage but glad to hear you made it out alright.

Welcome to the Collision Club brother. You paid your dues and hopefully got it out of the way.

Here's hoping for a quick repair and settlement.

Glad you are OK. This is DEFINATELY upgrade time!! Chrome that front end! lower it too! if the inner fairing is boogered up.. get the painted one to match. Grips?? Look at everything damaged, and get out the accessory catalog to see what can be changed out. It's also a good time to get some "free labor" too. Maybe a part isn't damaged, but you want to replace it later on. If they have to R&R it to fix the damaged part, why not upgrade.

Glad you're ok. It sucks your ride is crunched. Hope at least the cops give the driver a little bonus for being an idiot!
