Wow, good for you if you got that lucky. Expensive repairs could come from getting hit by a Smart car from behind, much less by this thing.Quote:

OMG. That is awful. Good thing that it didn't happen while driving.
What are you going to do?

You are so lucky. That thing is big!!! D is no match for that typical Texan truck. One of my co-worker on a bike just got ran over by a truck and in a serious condition. It was a hit and run also. Stupid idiots... Need to watch where they are going. Caught the MF and in jail now.

(granted a wee bit different on a two-seater when your wife is the one suffering :) Good luck on the install!)
Yeah I'm gonna give it a more thorough check tonight. I didn't see anything wrong initially but I was also trying really hard not to get pissed. Thankfully it was very slow impact and straight on.Quote:

Thats terrible I hope your co-worker recovers fully.Quote:
