Sorry to hear that, Glad your brother has only minor injuries and nothing life threatening. I'm sure he will have a speedy recovery.

I sent the link to this thread to my brother.

His response is as follows.
Tell the "BRO'S" I said thanks for the support. We are meeting with a
shoulder specialist Monday morning, and a Lawyer that afternoon. I'll
let you know how that goes. There is some damage to the ride, Mostly to
the right side. see picture attached. Tore off forward controls and
floorboards on right side, tank is dented, pipes are scaped, you can
see red paint on the right fork from the car that hit me. Dache says
you can't tell from the Left side that it was in a wreck, that should
tell you I was not speeding when I laid it down (did not roll it). All
things considered, I'll be back on the road again soon
Jim
The attached picture he talks about. Display is a bit big for the forum

Sorry to hear about your brother, and wishing him a speedy recovery. There should be a lesson to all of us about blind spots. I always try to keep from getting into one, as I look at the driver thru their mirrors, but you can never be to careful.

Best wishes Jim
