No... I can't. 5000lb truck pressing directly on forks, not going to risk bent or internal damage going 140+

I'm sure you know this, but make sure you have all your receipts for the aftermarket parts so the idiot Insurance Co adjuster can pay you the actual prices that they owe!!!!!!!
 
Feel 100% for you. How absolutely gut wrenching.

The only thing you'll never know is was someone looking out for you and it was devine intervention re your speed weekend?
 
What a *****smack ! I could almost see it if you had been parked dead center behind him. Don't see how he could have gotten in his vehicle without seeing yours. Obviously doesn't look behind before backing backing up. It pi$$es me off how little respect some people have for other peoples $hit. My sympathies mate.

I was thinking exactly the same , sometimes **** really does happen for a reason !
 
Bummer mate, aleays next time bro.
It could have been a lot worse.
 
Holly Crap!!!! that is really bad news, I dont really go for Black bikes but I was thinking how nice and neat it looked in a recent photo, like other have said and I am sure you know get the wheel checked but also the bearings as they aren't designed for side load like that, also surprise the guy is still standing don't know if I could have stayed that calm, lastly what gets me is if that had happened here in Auss he could have said it was in his blind spot but over there with him getting into the left side he must of been friggin blind not to see it and obviously didn't use his side mirrors when backing

THATS simple inspect it and ride it youll be able to tell it doesnt appear to be damaged that badly

Wouldn't matter. It's in hi head now. He'll always be wondering if (when) it's gonna fail. With the way he rides that is going to put a serious crimp in his style.

BEING a DEALER all these years we repaired so many bikes I couldnt tell you how many but hundreds and the guy didnt try to run into the bike it was an accident an no ones hurt so fix the damage and enjoy the bike
