    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.

    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.

    BigO, glad to hear that you are OK. I had installed a "Back Off" device on another Bike and it works great. For $40, it's worth it.

    Steve, it's not the lights that makes us laugh about you ......
