BigG Posted July 9, 2011 #1 Posted July 9, 2011 The royal star is in the shop getting a new rear tire so I rode my daughter's not often driven 750 Vulcan to work today. I was driving through our little town just minding my own, thinking to myself just how much fun this bike is to ride, when the car in front of me decided to turn left into a convenience store. Its a good thing I slowed from 35 to about 20 mph to let him complete his turn. Just as he made his turn into the store a chevy blazer pulled out turning directly in front of me. I made a good sized dent in their passenger side door. In the process I pushed the bars way forward and hit the tank with my chest. There's a good sized dent there now too. The bike went down an I was knocked a few feet away, landing on my shoulder. Nothing's broken on me or the bike, just dented a little. He got the ticket and I got some ibuprofen. Both the bike an I should be ok in a day or two. My daughter is happy I didn't break the bike. So, I guess I owe the kitty some money, what's the going price?
XV1100SE Posted July 9, 2011 #3 Posted July 9, 2011 Glad you are okay. Insurance should replace the tank and be good as new. Doesn't take much....
flb_78 Posted July 9, 2011 #4 Posted July 9, 2011 Im pretty sure that the $5 fee is if you drop your bike in a parking lot or driveway, not if some jack wagon pulls out in front of you and tries to kill you.
Kregerdoodle Posted July 9, 2011 #5 Posted July 9, 2011 really glad your here to tell about it.. God Speed

Marcarl Posted July 9, 2011 #7 Posted July 9, 2011 Sure glad it wasn't any worse, and that you walked away,,,,, there has to be something for gratitude though,,,, maybe thank your special angel for being there.

Yammer Dan Posted July 9, 2011 #10 Posted July 9, 2011 Good you weren't dented but I'll bet you were sore morning after. They don't make a Morning after pill yet do they?? Hope insurance takes good care of you.
