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

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!

Thanx, guys! Well, last night my neck&shoulder started hurting, so is my right foot(with a lump on it), so I'll better check in with my doctor this morning. And feelin' a lil' bit stiff. Strange that I didn't feel any of this right after the clash, probably the adranalin/endorfin?
Greetz, Hans.

The main thing is that you're ok Hans. For sure you'll be able to sort thing out with the insurance and recover the damage. As I also had a nasty crash just a few weeks ago I can tell you that the next morning I felt all my bones and muscles hurting like hell; my knees are still hurting after almost a month so be sure to check a doctor right away.

Get well,

Ionut

Hey, y'all! Well, so far I'm recovered from the initial pains(mainly on the muscles and my right foot) and my Tenere is at my dealer for examination for the damages(and possible repairs, if the damages aren't too big). Thru my insurance I also get a temporary replacement bike and that's gonna be a XT1200Z Super Tenere(!), so no complaints there! Lots of praise for my dealer Van Meel Motoren in Made, who'll do anything to help me in this unlucky matter, hear hear!! Hope the Tenere will ride again asap and if not(in case of a total-loss), I'll get a fresh one. Wait and see and in the mean time, I'll do some mileage on the S10!
Greetz, Hans.
