    Dang man, I hate to hear that but I am glad you are okay. Any idea how fast she was going when she hit you?

    She probably had it down to about 15 mph at the point of impact, with the nose of the car down low enough to impact below the rear deck lid with the left front corner of her bumper vs. straight on.

    Mark,,

    Aw man, sorry to hear that.
    As someone a lot wiser (and presumably wiser) than me said, any crash you walk away from is a good one.
    Glad you are ok.
    Being nailed from behind just seems patently unfair.

    It always grieves me to see a wrecked bike especially our F6B. As has been said thankfully she wasn't charging down the road,glad you are ok through all that.

    Yes, she's looked better...

    Still waiting to hear the initial read from the adjuster on write-off vs. repair.



    Thankfully, I've got a couple spares at home , but can't ride anything for a few weeks as my left hand is still sporting a brace for a possible scaphoid fracture, never mind a lot of strained muscles.
