Stock exhaust (on line) was $784. I ordered Two Brothers Black Series Carbon Fiber slip-on yesterday.. Should be here by Friday.
Very true and I was not paying attention to that, was thinking about not losing the person I was following. But I would have had no where to go, cars were already in the intersection in front of me...
Wow....sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you were not on a small bike. From the looks of things, you must have had your brakes on to avoid being kicked forward into an intersection or another car?
I understand that, the only fix is to increase your distance between stopped cars. In LE we call that an escape route, lol.
I gotcha, being T Boned is a very bad thing...We have a training course called the 90 degree pullout, basically 90 degree right turn from stopped position but in a panic situation application may be iffy. Again, glad you are here to tell us about the ordeal. I am sure that beauty will be better than new!Yeah I practice that as well but there was just no time...Will be paying better attention. First incident in about 60K miles so I haven't been doing to bad on the scooters. I am just glad I was lucky today! Bike will good as new soon. No worries.
Think I did have the brakes on.
Only had the bike 5 days, have pucks on the FJR but none on this bike yet..

You only had the bike 5 days and only 157 miles on it? Slacker! Glad you are ok and the bike was just scratched up. Hopefully that's all the damage but it doesn't take much of a knock to twist things under the plastic. Check it out good. Always plan an escape route when stopped if you can and always always keep an eye out on vehicles behind you. That's one of my biggest fears is getting hit by another vehicle whilst stopped at an intersection.
Welcome to the forum, BTW. There's a wealth of information here for the taking.
