Thanks god I wasnt on the busa!
lease: The tail section and subframe would of been totaled! I was on the 09 1k testing my new Q2's on the way to Karen's house. I got stuck in stop and go traffic. The SUV in front of me stopped quickly and then pulled up and stopped quickly due to traffic in front. So I kept 3 to 4 bikes lengths of room. After the third stop and go.... I noticed quickly that the car behind was closing to quickly... I started to move to get clear from being run over (what little room I had to go to right side of the road to clear the SUV in front of me!)..... I was hoping she would apply the brakes, but didnt until she was on top of me! The right side of her bumper caught my tire first and dragged the tail section down and the engine down in rpm. I pulled in the clutch and got my rear out of the seat to bail if I felt it I was about to go down. Well the only damage to my bike was a bent up corner to my plate. Nothing to the tire... Nothing to the tail section.... Her car's headlight, bumper, and grill are damaged. I am so lucky to have reacted to her not slowing and riding the 1k tonight! If I was on the busa.... the tail section and subframe would of been damaged and probably would have gone down! I have gotten home and checked the bike over after getting an accident report filled out. She was polite enough to pull over to if I was ok and called the police. I recommend we get off the road , due to the danger of getting hit etc. Before they got there we talked about what happened. She turn away for a moment and she said I was just there stopped. I told her traffic was bad and I was heading to the right side of the road to get away from her, once I realized she wasnt stopping! We exchanged numbers and I have now looked the bike over completely and at the moment she is very lucky that I am oklease:, and nothing appears to be broken or damaged!lease:
I am so lucky.... this happened an hour ago at 7:50pm est.lease:lease:
