My uncle and I just got back from a 280 mile round trip to east Tx. While we were in east Tx. he rear ended me, only damage to my bike was the right rear blinker broke off. He on the other hand has to get a whole new front fairing and a mirror. My muffler really did a job on that fairing, did'nt scratch or move the pipe at all. He rides an 07 CBR 600.

 

Lucky thing you guys didnt get more hurt I had a similar situation happen a few years ago. I was riding with a buddy and we were coming up to a highway we were supposed to turn down, so i gave him a toot of my horn and no sooner did i let off the horn than he stopped like fat kid at an all you can eat buffet. I turned a little and hit his mirror with mine. Lesson learned.... dont follow so close.

 

A few years ago I took down my father's bike with mine. I was following a little too close to his VTX1800 on my 79 XS1100. The sun was in my eyes (really, it was) and I couldn't see his LED turn signal come on. I turned at the last second and ended up clipping his bike. We were ok, but boy did I feel stupid!
