My three friends and I were on our way to lunch, a Victory Rider, a Harley Rider and me on my 09 RS. (No its no the start of a joke!). I was in the lead and stopped for a red light before turning right. My Ex Friend on the Victory was following me and failed to stop while eyeing a cute girl in the lane to our left in a NISSAN JUKE! Of all things. (search forum for Juke reference). Anyway he failed to stop and piled into my left side! Only damage was a scratch on my left Givi bag lid! He went down scratched up the paint on right side of his new bike, bent his foot peg and even some how scratched his gas tank with his watch. If I was on a two wheeler I would have been propelled into traffic! On my side no doubt.
Now here is the rest of the story! My bud (still my best friend) is a Police Lt for the local County and a Motorcycle Safety Instructor! I demanded his MSF Instructor patch from his flame orange safety vest. Still waiting for it.
Moral of this story is keep alert both in front and in back of you even if stopped!
Yeah, but what did the girl look like? :yes::yes:
