My poor baby

[MarkB]

The good news is, I'm OK. The bad news is, I got hit by an inattentive driver at a gas station today. Trashed my left saddlebag and the crash bar. Knocked me to the ground, but like I said, I'm OK.

The bike itself appears to be fine; I was able to ride away from the scene. The Kia Soul wasn't so fortunate. The steering was clearly damaged. Car vs Oldwing and Oldwing won. Sort of.

Now it's just a waiting game to see what insurance is going to do.

Glad your ok Mark, makes you wonder where their mind was don't it. Sure wasn't on driving.

 

[dan filipi]

Yes, glad your ok.

I honestly would have to say I would of thought you would be safe in a gas station ( except in those crazy Russian car crash videos). Just goes to show that rider awareness has to be turned on always. Good to hear that you are ok :good:

I saw it coming and swerved or it would have been head- on. The driver admitted she was looking in her rear view mirror because she thought somebody was going to hit her. Her spidey sense was working, but misdirected.

Sheesh - ya can't even stop for gas without gettin' hit these days! Glad you're OK!

 

[dan filipi]

I think I have a good fairing.
If you need it let me know and it's yours.
Need to make sure it's all good though, been sitting out under a tarp for a couple years.

 

[dan filipi]

Oh wait, you said left saddlebag and crash bar, have those too but no lids.

Glad your OK and your Wing is fixable Mark. :rocks:

~O~

 

[brianinpa]

Well at least you are unharmed - there is something to be thankful for.

Sure glad you weren't hurt, Mark. Just proves that you're never safe ANYWHERE, and that there are idjits EVERYWHERE.
Hope the Wing can be repaired quickly, and cheaply! It's riding weather! :moped:

These days if you don't have medical expenses insurance won't pay much if any. Glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

 

[mcgovern61]

Glad to hear you were OK Mark! :shock:

 

[joedrum]

gee mark...im glad you didnt get hurt ....im glad the oldwing is okay ....and just dress and guard damage

 

[cooltech]

Glad to hear that you are ok

 

[MarkB]

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Dan, thanks for the offer on parts! I may just take you up on that!

Be sure to check the frame where the crash bar mounts, especially the upper one by the radiator. My '80 parts bike and my '83 are both bent there, and the crash bars weren't too badly famaged. I have a good, straight frame now, thanks to Dan the man!
