Went down
« on: March 15, 2018, 07:59:17 PM »

Well Sunday I got side swiped. Bike is messed pretty good, but thankfully I was able to walk away. Fella changed lanes right into me, had nowhere to go. All things considered it went as well as possible. Rode it home, something was messes (prob bars), and a chit ton of paint work. Will need new lowers, crash bar, front fender, both bags and lids, running boards, bars, levers, grips, etc... So far my repair estimate is about $10K Canadian in parts alone. But I walked away, that is really all that matters.

Now we wait....

Just thought I'd share.

Cheers

Right on the money, unc. 

Paul, glad it was just cosmetic on the bike and you walked away.  Not always the case in motorsickle incidents.  The Lord had an extra dose of protection for you that day.

It's that time of year again when the bikes hit the road for the first time in months and drivers are not use to looking for them... Still no excuse for it though.  In Ontario for the first couple of months of spring the MOT has "Watch for Motorcycles" on their highway signs, but no signage is available for the city streets unfortunately where it is just as important.

Certainly glad to hear you're okay for the most part, and the bike can always be repaired or replaced - which may be the case with $10k+ in damages.

Good luck with everything.

Most important part. No scars, no broken bones. You're a winner even if you had an accident.

pudgeyxj,
We all here at the CVO forum are Very glad to hear you came out of the wreck uninjured.

But, you've got to have at least one scar from the wreck, even if it's just a hangnail, that you can point to so that when you meet up with your riding buddy's you'll have your war story to talk about.  ;D ;D :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

Glad you came through with little more than a stain in your pants.

As some here can attest, this sort of accident can cause many hidden damages, such as cams, lifters, bored-out pistons, header pipes, etc. Make sure your personal mechanic brings these to the insurance adjuster’s attention.

Just sayin’...

Did the cage stop? Happened to a friend of mine and if another cager hadn't helped the offender would have snuck off, scott free. Got the bastid for hit and run, which made it a lock for fault proof.
