The Results of "Distracted Driving" when Contacting a Stopped Motorcycle

See that all the time also. Bunch of f'in a-holes.
I'm very aware at stop lights whether in my car or on the bike but even more so when on two wheels.
This time I wasn't at an intersection but stopped to turn left so I'm looking at where I'm going, at on coming traffic ECT. Hard to keep your eyes everywhere at once. But I've been able to drive and find myself so f'in paranoid about everyone now and getting very pissed off when people seem to wait until the last second to start braking.
 
Never good to see that level of damage ... glad to see you're not too banged up.
 
So glad you are ok, lucky there are some brand new X's still available I believe

Well the insurance company is trying to compensate based on a '15 roadster. I told them it isn't the regular roadster but they can't find an X listed in the book.
So we will see where that goes. But as usual with insurance companies, they want to pay you as little as they possibly can. And from what I've already been told I'll be out thousands of dollars for something that was absolutely not my fault and I did nothing wrong.
GREAT SYSTEM!!
 
First off, really sorry about your X but glad you weren't seriously hurt. Some years back the wife and I were stopped at a red light on my ole' Electra glide. There was a car stopped behind us. When the light changed to green the arsehole behind punched it before I got the clutch all the way out. Knocked us down and about ran over us. Neither of us were seriously hurt but the bike was scraped up pretty good. Because of Michigan "no fault" insurance the best I could do was sue the driver for $400.
 
Glad to hear you escaped serious injury.
But on the other side of that....how the hell is that even a little bit fair?!

Very glad you are ok. What a mess. Yep, I got rear ended at a stop light several years ago by a guy in a Mercedes. I discovered that the little "star" emblem on the hood folds, lol. Bike was a total smashola, frame bent.
