Better than the car side swiping you. Keep it rubber side down.

A wise old biker once told me that there are only two kinds of riders ... Those that have crashed and those that are going to crash ... Fortunately for you it sounds as though your crash was a "Walk Away Event" ... As others have stated in this thread learn from your mistakes and move on ... Glad everything worked out for you.

Thanks everyone. Yes it was a learning experience and notes were taken.

For folks living in Alabama, I can say that I love ALFA Insurance. They have already been in contact with the other drive to start fixing my ****-up. My agent lady, while she's not a fan of bikes, has always treated my family really good.
