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.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I think in this case even if you were on 2 wheels, you might have dropped your bike but wouldn't have been launched because lucky for you this was a drive through and she was initially stopped and the vehicle rolled into you. If this is at an intersection its a different outcome, glad to see you and your bike are safe.

As far as having something bad happen: this one is easily survivable! :thumbup:
Did you give her a bit of a lecture before the Law Enforcement Personnel showed up? :lecturef_smilie::shocked:

Glad you are OK! :thumbup:
Sorry to hear about the accident.....at a drive up window - wow! :yikes:
I am always looking in my mirrors for people coming up on me quickly at intersections and on the 2 lane roads especially when making a left. I don't think I would be watching my mirrors at the drive up window though....thanks for sharing.

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.
I had been watching her in my mirrors as she was running close as I pulled into the property but I saw she had stopped then about 10 seconds later she hit me

Private Property
In a lot of jurisdictions ( if not most ) this would be considered a public highway ( road ) and therefore under police purview ............ Which also means, don't get DRUNK in your car in your driveway ( I don't mean you ) .... Mike :thumbup:

Public street, private property, or parking lot..... makes no difference. She hit you and that is a traffic offence. I wouldn't hesitate a minute filing a police report. By the time her insurance company gets done, they could have YOU backing up into HER. Sometimes when honest people find out the financial consequences of their actions, their memory grows dim...... Good luck and glad you were not seriously injured.

ACCIDENT
...:agree::agree::agree: ..... Remember if it hit the tire , there will be a chain reaction to ALL the parts in the Suspension System ...... Mike :thumbup:Glad your alright and the damage is seemingly slight. Make sure they check further than the pastics around the fender area there may be more in the rear shock/ shock mount, swingarm etc. Hope it is only the plastics....

ACCIDENT
:agree::agree::agree: ON THIS ALSO .... a bad scenario would be ...if She filed report that you backed into Her and then You fled the scene :yikes: ... Not farfetched - this happened to me right after I got my license to drive ........ Mike :thumbup:

This is some REALLY good news! :clap:
Isn't it a bit alarming, when you're surprised at the honest folks who are still out there?
I'm glad to hear that her insurance company is already "in the loop". :2thumbs:
Last time a person backed into me in a parking lot and dented the back of the car I called the police and all they told us was to exchange info,nothing they could do since they wern't there and didn't see it.I wasn't worried about her denying it as there was a worker off to the side who saw and heard it.Like I said if it had to happen at least it was minor and It looks like just plastic damage,dealer checked back to front and hasn't found anything else at this time.
