SO .....I Got Rear Ended by a Pick up Truck!!! 20 minutes ago....

its a boring story BUT just wanted to ask.... I pulled the truck driver over to see the damage -make an estimate.... THANK GOD the truck didn't have those brush guard/bull bar things ...

Question..... does the first GEN taillight wiggle up &down that much?

is that regular?

 

[wdieck]

I think not

 

[maxxdope]

i was hoping the "shovel"-rear fender absorbed the impact ...

The taillight is rubber mounted so it does have some wiggle to it, but not much.

Happy your still around to talk about it. As far as taillight movement I have an 01 and it moves alot by hand 1/8 to 1/4 inch up and down I just checked. But I will tell you this get it checked by a pro. He deserves to pay something for not paying attention. So next time he sees a bike hopefully he wont kill anyone.

Holy smokes, glad you are ok. I don't think I have ever seen "Got rear ended by a pick up truck" and "It's a boring story" together in a post, so me thinks you are very lucky. Boring is way better then bloody after all.

at first i thought the guy was drunk.... BUT then i realized he was PLAIN STUPID...!!!

the kind of guys that shouldn't be allowed to handle a 2 ton leathal weapon...

 

[xschizx]

wow, glad your ok, hopefully you can get him to pay the repair costs.

 

[maxxdope]

GOOD thing i didn't install the undertail allready...!!! the "SHOVEL" setup must've saved a bunch of broken parts....

did you call the cops? its stupid to get in a wreck and NOT.

Glad you're ok.

Should have called the cops on him. He needs a citation.

did you get a police report? It seems like a minor accident but I would still file for one to document the event so doesn't come down to his word vs yours.

People are cool when it happens b/c they want to downplay their mistake yet when it comes time to pay they change their story completely. Just my experience. Good luck.

That is so lame he should have been ashamed to admit it

should i've called the cops.... the guy would be in custody and that would be his LOOOOONGEST Weekend EVER!!!

he apologised like.... a thousand times ... and i felt sorry for him JUST for the fact he pulled over under my instructions...in addition didn't want to take advantage of the situation just to gain 60 bucks( he offered to pay the damage whatsoever...)

I thought that other guys would've fled AWAY...in the fog...

 

[hsilman]

well that's great, but when it turns out he's ****** up your frame or subframe or something, $60 isn't gonna seem so nice.

good luck, glad you came out ok at least.
