it's official, another CVO down.
one week ago today I was rear ended by a woman who was not watching traffic ahead, my bike is totaled.
I'm remarkable well considering.

Looks like you got hit pretty hard, more details??? Glad to hear you are okay.

Sorry to hear this!  Man that thing is twisted up!  Did you walk away from it?

There was a lot of accidents on the highway last Friday, we had finally got through a couple of them and were cruising at the speed limit of 70.
after a couple miles of this I saw the traffic stopping again about a mile ahead. I checked mirrors and began to slow, she was a long way behind me so I didn't pay as much attention to her as I should have, figuring since I could clearly see a couple of miles of cars all having brake lights on, so did she. wrong answer.
The next time I look at mirrors, I saw her grill closing very fast, I was going about 35-40, she was going 50-60, she shoved me down the road for about 100 feet, then we separated and I went down.
The state patrol who showed up kept calling me superman, cause I rode the bike through it, and was still walking.

Yes I'm OK, whip lash, sore back and neck, but fine. Thank God I was wearing my leathers, cause they didn't fare so well.
bent the frame and all, was told today they estimated $27,000.00 in damage.

Glad to hear you walked away!

Holy crap! What a mess! Was she charged with negligence? Glad to hear you were not more seriously injured! You can always get a new putt. If your frame had been bent, it would have been a tougher fix. Prayers for rapid healing being sent your way!

Glad to hear you are in good shape minus the lash and soreness. 
I would not want to be an owner of an Orange and Black 12 this week  for sure.
Bad week for this color for sure...

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, but as others have said the bike can be replaced. You did a hell of job riding – hope you heal fast and are back on the road soon.

Nice job riding through it, and glad you're reasonably ok.

OMG   . This was exactly what happened to me when I was rear ended.  . I am so happy that you were able to walk away from this accident.  I hope you fair better than I did with insurance company.  The kid that hit me had insurance and so did I, but unfortunately as of June 18, it has been two years for me and I have not received any money for my totaled MC.

[E-Skunk]

Wow, glad to hear that you are on the mend and came through it in one piece.  And you would think that an orange bike would be a bright enough sign!

Holy BatChit, RR. Great job doing EXACTLY what you should have. The Harley Gods were smilin

[sadunbar]

Wow... Brings back memories of my 04 O/B SEEG scattered all over the highway.  Not rear ended like you - just an encounter with a deer with my cruise set at 80mph... Bike was totaled.  I was a bit better.  Broken wrist, couple fingers, separated shoulder, cracked sternum and bruised lungs.  Stiff and sore for weeks!  My first and only crash. (knock on wood)
