Bad luck!!
Hey, y'all! Had some bad luck today: I was rearended by a car this afternoon.
Situation: I was leavin' a gasstation over an intersection and stopped for a old lady who's was crossing a pedestrian crossing and......boom I was lying by side of the road with my Tenere. Happily I wasn't injured but my Tenere was in a bad shape, unfortunately: the rearend with licenseplate and indicators broken off, my pannier rack bent, one pannier torn off, the other bent, rear handle(left) broken, handlebar bent(the brakecilinder now touches the console), mirrors bent(not broken), handguard left bent and some scrathes here and there. These are the "injuries" at first sight, tuesday there'll be a full examination of the damage by my dealer for the insurance. Oh yeah and the car had some major damage too: major dented front and radiotor kaput and leaking(the driver said he didn't see me stop! he wasn't injured either, happily). Major BUMMER!!!! Hope the damage is not too big and can be fixed, so I can ride again pretty soon. Greetz, Hans.

Looks like whilst you were unlucky to be hit in the first place you had a real lucky escape there Hanz. It looks like that was a pretty big bash you took and I'm glad to hear youre both ok

what is the odds that
The insurance company will call it a total write off? The question is do you have salvage rights to the wreck?
Anyway it is good to see that your alive and ready to ride another day! |

I had a ball today!! Ridin' my Ten for the first time again since the accident and it was GREAT!! How I missed that lil' ******, what a sweet machine it is and it makes me smile from ear to ear! It was good ridin' weather and the engine purred like a cat. I liked the S10 for two weeks, but I'm glad to have the 660Ten back, I wouldn't trade it for a S10, no way, Jos�!!
By the way, now the AIS is blocked, it turns out to ridin' more relaxed now the "poppin'" is gone, I like it this way. Recommended, people! Greetz, Hans P.s.: now it's only waitin' for the two rear handgrip covers, which weren't in stock with YamahaNL; also the two items from Off-the-road from Germany haven't arrived yet, probably next week or so.....

Good result and A lucky escape looks like the pannier rails and panniers saved your ass. Ewan Mc Gregor suffered a similar attack from a car durring the Long way round again it was the panniers and rail that saved him and his bike.
hope the aches and pains are all better
