Rear ended

Thanks for the welcome guys

I was on my way to work tuesday and while waiting at an intersection I was rear ended. So no bike at the moment, in the shop getting assesed for insurance purposses.

Hope it all gets fixed up at no cost to me as I was well and truley stationary and he well and truley smacked the back out of my bike!

I was unhurt apart from the shock of becoming an SUV bonnet mounting.
and the anger that the tit did it just a week after the Two Brothers pipes went on.

There is relief though, that I did not go under the wheels of the car that I was waiting for, that would have left me with more than just an injured ego, ha.

Hope bike bike gets fixed soon so I get to playing with it again.

Marcus

Bad luck, mate. Sounds as if it could have been a lot worse. Hope you get the value of the new pipes back on the insurance, as well as all the repairs.

I bet he was on his mobile phone at the time mate!!! The concentration level of car drivers seems to get worse by the day as everyone checks out facebook and sends messages while driving. Glad it was not worse.
