She fired it across two parking spots and flipped it upside down. A couple of guys helped me right it and it started right up. It was dark but the it looks like a lot of tupperware has to be replaced. It seems to rum OK. Have to contact the insurance companies.

    She apologized and said she has very poor night vision. I suggested she stop backing into parking spots at night until she fixes her vision.
    I had a garbage truck do this also and it (totaled) my 2014 Valkyrie (since repurchased) big fight with insurance company. Good Luck. Hope she was well insured.

    Wow, after all that work. Really make sure it's check out. It doesn't take a lot to total a bike. I got hit at a very low speed on my last bike and it bent the frame. You said it got sent flying. Wishing you the best. At least you weren't on it.
