that sucks, but the bike can be fixed, at least you're ok. I hate drunk drivers.

Cool drunk drivers

i try to not ride at night. up here in montana, the deer are everywhere! we have a drunk driver or two up here also! my dad told us boys back in the 1970's, if you are going to the bar, take the car. then in the 1980's, with the drunk driving laws, he said , if you're going to the bar, walk! cheers from montana

Hello there , Glad you are ok , he could have taken your leg off or worse. bike will be an easy fix, some new parts a couple hours labor and it will be like new and you have some good riding experience under your belt , these close calls add too your awareness when you are riding .

again glad you are ok , ride on ride safe.
