    BogO, please do not assume you are okay. There are many injuries that can occur from being rear ended, especially when on a bike. Take the time to be thoroughly checked out, and spend a few days feeling the pain, before clearing yourself.

    And Steve, we only razz you because we love you...Man ! Many of us have added flashing lights to our bikes since that time.


    NOTE: Seriously, ask the police to investigate the drivers' cell phone, and see if she was ON the phone...talking or texting...at that time. A phone call log will show it. If she was...she is in big trouble.

    First off, glad you are alright, but the bike is probably not. And for this reason is why I'm proud to say I'm WAY over the top for rear lighting, if a driver behind me does not notice these lights then they either have just had a medical emergency or they are pre occupied with that distraction device also known as a smart phone, though I consider them dumb phones.

    I have the same setup as you, minus the brake modulator. Which I will definitely add, when the bike is fixed.

    You don't need a Christmas display, just put this in your front lawn and turn on the hazards.

    Sorry to hear that BigO. That sucks.

    I was just talking about you to Big Al today. Hope your scooter isn't hurt too bad.

    Glad you are ok.
    Folks we have not got a prayer!
    Woman hit a vehicle from behind today at a stop sign, it was a police car that had stopped to render assistance to a disabled motorist! All lights on looking like a Christmas tree. Guess what? She didn't see it.
    We can blame cell phones, radios, eating, smoking and what ever and I am sure they are a big problem. But YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT FIX STUPID!!!
