It happened Friday on my way home. I'm sitting still in traffic when this lady hit me from behind. Jammed me and the Firebolt between the 2 SUVs. I'm ok but the Bolt is a total mess!!! I'm just sick about it. I tried to send pictures but they're to large. | ||

Sorry to hear it but glad to hear you're OK. | ||

Sorry to hear, at least you are ok. Sucks that the bike took damage. At least she didn't try to do a hit'n'run, with you stuck there immobilized. When I am stopped at a light I always watch my mirrors for approaching traffic and begin to pulsate my brake light, ready to spring between the lanes if they don't slow down. | ||

Email me the photos and I can edit them. | ||

Glad you're OK. I'm sure the bike can be fixed, or replaced. That's harder to do with life and limb. | ||

Glad you're OK. They teach you in MSF class to (1) always watch your rear view mirrors when you're stopped and (2) always leave yourself an "escape route". OTOH, that can be pretty hard to do sometimes. Your accident is a good reminder to me that I need to be better about doing it. | ||

I got rear ended one week after buying my bike....sorry to hear about your misfortune, glad to see you're OK. | ||

If I saw an SUV behind me getting ready to kiss the SUV in front of me, my brake light wouldn't be the only thing pulsating, tell ya that fer sure. | ||

Hi M2, No one likes to hear news of your kind, my thoughts are with you. Really glad you are okay, can only repeat what Diablobrian said. | ||

Man am I glad your ok! Bro! Get well soon ..Im glad to hear for the most part your ok after we talked. No lets talk xb12!!! HeHe... thats a good cure for a case of the Blues.. Ever thought of this? A xb12scg lighting translucent body work would be AWESOME!!!!good for track days, wich your old bike was used for and good for trips...upgraded tranny..etc. Plus down here in MS noone else has one!!!  I can resize your pics for you if you want me too so you can put them on here. | ||

Sorry to hear that this happenned to you. Glad you came away uninjured. I wish your bike a speedy recovery. This is a reminder that we have to keep our eyes open, even when stopped. | ||

| Brewtus |
OH SH!+!! Your bike looks like it was hit HARD!! I sure am glad your OK, that looks like it could have been a lot worse! | ||
| U4euh |
DAYHEM! I hope her insurance will cover you. Glad you are posting. | ||

Just unbolt the fairing and get a flyscreen. You already have a Euro Tail. Stretch | ||

Funny it looks a bit like mine at the moment (though it was a quite different story)! Good to see you are ok, by the look of it it could have been (much) worse. Olivier | ||

Sorry bout the bike, looks like hell... Glad your OK....But that grass (if thats what you call it) in your yard is far from OK.  | ||
| Kurosawa |
My LED tail lamp and flasher box are on back order. Hope they get here soon. | ||
| M2buelligan |
What was I thinking? I should have waited until I knew the vehicle was going to stop. When I came to the stop, I looked in my mirrows. I saw that the vehicle was back there, it didn't appear to be going to fast, everything looked normal. I looked down at the instrument panel to put the bike in neutral so I could do an adjustment to my backpack and wham!!! | ||
| Glitch |
Seeing that makes me weak! Glad to hear you're not broken up like your bike was. What a nice looking bike too, I love the white XB9R. You gonna get another one? | ||
| Alanshouse |
Yeah the white 9r's are really nice looking. | ||

I just read the opening thread and scrolled to the pics, My advise....... refrain from the use of "I'm ok" seek legal advise. I ignored some aches and pain after a collision, FU#K I'm paying for it now, can't ride for more than a few hours with out hip problems. I not about BS law suites but protect your ass, like it's your head. | ||
| Jimmy |
Sorry. Send Pics of the New Bike.....SOOON. | ||
| Diablobrian |
I'm kind of partial to the white xb9r's too. (white is the fastest color you know) | ||
| Djkaplan |
Chilling photos. One of my worst fears on the bike. I hope all turns out well for you. I really hope steps are taken to make sure the stupid $%@&ing @!#$ doesn't do it again. She should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. | ||
| No_rice |
i think white under olive drab green is way faster!!! | ||
| Diablobrian |
then it's still a white bike in it's heart. You know, there are easier ways to get a euro street-fighter tail on your bike  | ||
| Pipefittermike |
Sorry for your loss, on another note though I didn't notice the person to the far left until the 5th or 6th time I looked at the pic.  | ||
| Firebolteric_ma |
glad you are A.O.K... the bike can be repaired, the body is a little harder to find parts for. you are VERY lucky my friend. glad you pulled through! time a xb12 now  |
