Riding off to work this morning, normal busy morning traffic about to go though a school zone (40kph).
Rolling off from about 50-55kph as the traffic ahead is slowing down just about to put my foot down and come to a complete stop take a peek in the mirror and all I see are two faces that look a little close for comfort!!
Brace from impact and bang! A split seconds after looking and I felt the contact!!
It wouldn't have matter if I was in my cage she was still going to hit someone, she just was not paying attention, don't know if it was mobile phone of what....
Bike held up well considering, not looking good though. Possibly a write off, fair bit of damage, will really depend if the subframe is damaged. Wheel is buckled, tyre is gone and of course the whole back end is pointing to the sky.
Dropped it into Ducati this morning, so just wait til I hear back and see how bad it is.
Pulled up alright considering, got my gentleman parts squashed by the tank! Other than that just a sore back and stomach. Doc gave me the all clear, so overall a good result health wise.
Shattered about the bike!
