Kahooli Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) I was rear ended today while stopped behind traffic.I'm sorta not happy.-Yes I'm physically fine, I ended up with my @$$ on his hood. just sort of dazed thinking, wtf happened?Visible damage to the bike is small, slightly dented rim, knocked rear tire out of alignment, bent brake pedal, scraped bar end, cracked upper fairing.

Kahooli Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hope you're ok dude, probably be sore tomorrow. I hope you swapped info, bike could easily be totalled given the year.\Of course we did. Was a young kid on his way to school. It actually happened right next to his school so teachers were walking over to help me out. There were about 30 witnesses We'll see how it goes with his insurance adjuster.

chevysoldier Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Glad to hear you're ok.When I stop behind someone, I tend to be off to one side or the other, so if I am rear ended I won't be crushed into the car in front of me. If I do see them coming up quick then all I have to do is go straight forward and hopefully they hit the car and I'll be a bit protected. Does this make sense to anyone else?

Does this make sense to anyone else?Sure does, I try to flash the brakes if I see someone coming up behind me. Don't usually angle but that's not a bad idea.

Thats why I like my brake modulator. It flashes like 3 times, then steady for a couple seconds then repeats until I release the brake.I don't like the ones that flash then stay constant. I figure if it keeps flashing, they have a better chance of seeing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I was looking at wouldn't start the entire sequence, but give a few few flashes, unless a certain time had passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really lolOnly reason I don't like the modulators is I find the flashing really annoying when I see them on other bikes. I'm sure my opinion would change if I got rear ended.

chevysoldier Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 +1.. I can't ride behind somebody that has one of those fucking things wired to their bike. Drives me crazy... Thats why I like it, they stand out. I'd rather be annoying than rear ended but to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at one called the "BackOff XP" for around $35, it does either pattern depending on how you wire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 bike or car?I think the part about his ass being on the guy's hood, the busted bar end, and cracked plastics answer that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
