GLAD U R OK!! Considering............

When a driver F's up and then apologizes, it seems to make a BIG DIFF in my mind. Admitting they were wrong.

The ones who just keep on driving like they are dumb and deaf is mind blowing.

The bike looks bad, but parts can be replaced. You cant be.
Glad you’re okay.

Glad you are okay and hopefully this young man learned a very valuable lesson. I hope he has good insurance also and makes you whole on the bike.

Always count your blessing as it could have been much worse.

People are in too much of a hurry. For me every day it is like okay you are going 5 miles per hour over the speed limit, but I want to go 10, so get the hell out of my way! Then the distracted drivers. And when did a 5 second rule come into law allowing everyone to run right through a "RED" light up to 5 seconds after it changed!

Good luck

Second, any time the engine guard is bent like that, there is more than a small chance that the frame is bent at the attachment point. That's usually a total. Make sure you have the dealership examine it.
This is correct right here ! That bike could be totaled.

Get the bike and yourself throughly examined. I hit a deer several years ago and went down on my left side. Hip still bothers me to this day. Collarbone healed fine.

Good thing you were geared up. 👍
Yes, this. I laid mine down in April. You dont "feel the aches" right away. I had some bumps and bruises that i didnt see or feel untill a few days later.

the most important is that you are not injured. 2nd thing then is to get the at fault party to compensate for your damage to the bike.

Sucks that it happened to you. Glad that you are OK though and that you have the good sense to wear protective gear.
