[Skillet]

Coming back off an awesome ride and got rear ended by no one else but my VP. I had just started to pass a bus on a country road and he decided to turn left in front of me. I saw it and started braking but my VP didn't see what was happening until it was too late.. It launched me off the bike. I was able to finish the 200 miles till home but with a sore leg. Could have been worse. Now for the fun part of getting all the damaged parts replaced. Both of us had full coverage and he is taking the blame.

Glad you made it through it without any major injuries

Any bike wreck you not just walk away but ride away from is one an incident with no reason to complain.  Be well, get the kinks out over the next few days, replace some parts and ride on.  I take it your buddy was ok too?

For sure on riding away. He stayed upright the whole time. Yep no complaints. She will be pretty with all new painted parts back on.

For what it's worth.

I typically ride alone. However, I occasionally follow my brother. He rides a 14  street glide with ABS and I'm on a 04 SEEG. I found it important to have more following distance now because of the improved braking on the new bike, plus I suppose even the reduced distance of the lever that is required to engage braking.

I also always wait until the pass is executed before I pass. You just reduce your options and escape routes otherwise.

Glad you're okay Skillet - could have been nasty...

Thanks. Yes it could have been much worse.

Parts you can buy new. Glad you and your VP are OK!!!!

Glad to hear you rode away and not seriously injured, Skillet. Karma was on your side to pull that off.
Heal up quickly and fix the bike. And thanks for the heads up about following an ABS equipped bike.

Glad you made without needing a trip to hospital get the bike fixed and forget about it.

Seems like that's happening to everybody these days.    That's life in the rat race.


Glad you weren't hurt badly, and you were able to ride home.  Scary stuff.


Stay safe!

We have both ridden together for over 20 years and we are used to each others actions. Just an unfortunate incident and boy does he feel bad about it.
