Well, sorta blind old bat nailed me from behind while we were pulling away from an intersection because she was in the wrong lane (I was turning left, she was turning right) never would have expected her to accelerate that quickly
So she hit me, and I lowsided at about 15mph or so, not fast fortunately. Was pinned underneath the bike, wriggling my way out while people kept stopping and asking "Are you okay??" "Nah, just pinned under a 600lb bike is all.... " Managed to pick the bike up, and wheel it out of the intersection so I didn't tie up traffic
A bus driver saw the whole thing, yelled at the lady for being in the wrong lane then called the police for me what a response from them, two officers, the ambulance, and a fire truck were there before I could finish dialing my wife's cell-phone #.
Old bat tried to drive away before they got there too, kept insisting she was in the correct lane...
I was in some serious pain once I stopped being pissed about the bike, but no serious injury it seems. Just some bruises and the lingering feeling of getting hit in the knee with a baseball bat (My knee is apparantly what actually dented the tank)
Frelled up headlight
Crash bar kept the engine from outward damage, but got bent
Clutch lever is nice 'n wobbly now
