Frank,

Sorry to read of this event however the good news you are in good condition.  A bike can always be repaired or replaced but not always the riders.

[JR]

Wow! Pado, you may need to go to the "Any Miracles Out There" thread I started and tell your story! How do you get broadsided by a cage... and not go down??? :huepfenlol2:I believe that would qualify for a miracle!   praise God your OK! Look at it this way, at least it happened during the winter and should be ready to go before spring. Glad your OK, God Bless!

[Admiral]

Glad you were not hurt, thats a miracle in itself.

Her insurance should also provide for rental of alternate transportation until your ride is fixed.

[JasonDeezy]

Pick the shop of YOUR choice and have her insurance company take care of the rest. The End...

[Rooster]

Glad to hear you are ok. Lucky you were able to keep the bike upright.

While waiting to go to work yesterday I decided to take advantage of the 70 degree weather and just warm up the bike.  Only went about 10 miles and was almost home when a cage hit me broadside on the right.  She said she didn't see me.  Thank goodness I'm not hurt and I never dropped the bike.  The front right crash bar and lower bent into the tank.  The right rear saddlebag guard was bent snapping off the right rear bag.  Other than that I'm OK thank the Lord.

Need some input on tricks to get this repaired ASAP with the least amount of hassel.  Her fault and her ins. co. will pay.

Wow!

Glad youre OK pado!!

The miracle is in being hit and not going down, and not having any injury to your right leg!

Count your blessings... SOMEONE was watching over you.

I'll agree to let the dealer do the estimate... engine guard damage that severe may also mean damage to the frame at the mounting point. If they say to replace the frame then hell, its someone else's dime.

Absolutely agree with the frame inspection.  I'm personally aware of several instances where a bike just being dropped on the engine guard, either off the jiffy stand or just dropped...dropped caused some degree of frame damage.  You'll want the dealer, or someone qualified to do so, mic the frame angles and dimensions on the downtubes as well as checking the neck bearing for binding.

Yes, but you were drinking at the time though so you had an excuse .

Frank I just found this thread and glad to hear you were not hurt. I hope you bike is repaired to better than new condition.

I would think that a wreck of that magnitude would result in new neck bearings along with upper and lower trees, etc.

    Not on the baggers I was thinking of, but have indeed had a couple of beer joint drops in the old days ... never without a crowd of spectators though ....

If it's not worth doing in front of people it's not worth doing!!

Frank. I hated to hear you bike got damaged. I was VERY glad to hear you're not hurt. Happy new years Brother.

[REGGAB]

I hate reading this section, but of all the chitty friggin' luck!  The great stuff is you report that you're OK...........just be sure you are before you sign a release.  Screw the bike.  It can be fixed or replaced.  You're the important part of this situation.     Best Blessings to ya, Frank!
