Had a great flight yesterday.
Only to get rear ended on my beautiful near mint Triumph T100.
I am going to be fine, I am sore as shit but refused treatment after ambulence got me in back.
As I write this I am sore but thankful I am okay.
I was stopped at traffic light with 2 cars ahead of me and guy behind me didn't stop.
Broad daylight and a clear sunny day.
I am most upset because there is no chance my beautiful bike will get repaired here to look like new.

Holy shiit it is the only thing that you can't do noting against .
it happened to me also .. the girl behind me was speaking over here iphone in video ... fortunately at a very small speed ... she destroyed the back of my electric scooter ..
the road is the most dangerous place on earth .. look at this capsized truck this afternoon ... there are big 70km/h speed limitation signs before a 90° bend on the motorway ...the lorrie capsized on a bridge with a road under the bridge ... it nearly fall over the bridge ... it is a miracle it did not ..
of course every time I am on this bend trucks are honking behind me ...because I respect the speed limit ..

I am happy you were not injured mate ...

Same thing happened to me 4 years ago on my RED R1150rt. Destroyed my bike, hurt my back....I recovered but there was nothing salvageable on my bike.
I had bought that bike new in 2003 and it only had 34,000 miles. My black 1150 was my first one, still running great at 193,000, it is my everday bike, my red one was my DATE NIGHT bike.
