REAR ENDED

massage time

Got hit in the back on Friday while watiing at a drive up window.Not a lot of damage to my RTL but enough to cause me to miss a couple of weeks of riding.I must say if I was on 2 wheels I think I would of been sent flying but the stability of 3 wheels only caused a slight whip lash.Took the bike to the dealer today and they will see whats needed and make repairs once the adjuster comes and looks at it,appears the only damage is the black plastic rear piece got smashed,no damage to the painted areas.Lady was in a Toyote Highlander and her bumper hit me just above the license plate and smashed the plastic.The tire cushoined the impact and whiped me,she was stopped about 2-3 ft behind me and let her foot off the brake and rolled into me.I was a little sore around my neck the next day but x-rays showed no bone damage,just soft tissue which will heal over time.Nothing I could of done nothing to prevent it just another cager not paying attention.

spend a few dollars and get a neuro-muscular / massage therapist to work on that neck - you wont regret it.

At least it wasn't the Amish guy in his buggy behind [me] or I would of had a horse on me.

Nah, the horse (of any religion, or not) would have had better sense, even if the driver was texting, or otherwise asleep.

However, glad you're OK; just be certain your bike is fixed properly and completely. And wait a couple of months before signing off on any release of claim re your whiplash. That stuff can sometimes linger and not be totally better for a while. Insurance adjusters like to write you a quick check and kiss you off; after that, you can't go back, if needed. I speak from experience of having been badly whip-lashed, with back injury, caused by a driver using a cell phone when he rammed me from behind - tore the rear axle right off my van when he submarined me at a stoplight. Crumpled the front of his compact car, but the guy got out and walked away... phone still in his hand!!

If I had the money, I get a couple massages a week. Of all the massages I've had, I keep going back to foot massages at an Asian spa in N.J. They seem to help all over, and not just the feet. It hurts so good.

To the OP, glad you and the spyder are relatively okay.

Didn't call law enforcement since it was private property,dairy farm,she admitted to being wrong,she is mennonite,we exchanged info and by the time I got home she had already contacted her insurance so hopefully everything will go smooth.At least it wasn't the Amish guy in his buggy behind her or I would of had a horse on me.

Riding down the interstate yesterday, and rolling along at 80 mph 2 up 2015 rtl and when I came to a little incline or hill to go over I started to get the vibration. It never stopped when I got to the top either, Unless I just bumped the RPM's and then it would go away. I am a firm believer it is the belt. I am going to have my wife try and hold a camera down there to see if I can see if the belt has a shaking or a vibration to it. because it does it on every hill. Wife kind of liked it though she said it was like a foot massage. Well that is not needed on a spyder.

Hello, Reigns5 !
You would get more info and assistance if you reposted this in a new thread; this thread is almost 2 years old and is about an accident.
