I'm glad u 2 are ok but it sounds like you were to close to the back or else you would have had plenty enough to move

Dammit another blue! I'm starting to get a complex!
I got backed over once many years ago while in college. On a smaller bike by a smaller stake truck. I had a clear shot at his mirrors; he backed up so fast I was blocked and couldn't get up or off. I was just about kissing his rear drive when he finally figured out there was a reason he was having trouble backing up....
He had to be in reverse for the horn to beep. Give the party responsible an opportunity to make it right with new plastics.

Everyone remember this, and it is true for almost any vehicle towing any type of trailer. If you cannot see his mirrors, he can't see you.

As a veteran driver and from a trucking family 3 generations not counting uncles, brothers and cousins. I see alot and I'm not going to point fingers at who was at fault because I wasn't there..
The main thing here is He and his Wife are OK and did not get crushed or killed..
DON'T SLAM ALL TRUCK DRIVERS!! THERE'S BAD APPLES IN EVERY INDUSTRY!!

+1. I'm not a truck driver, but I'm not about to sit here and say all truck drivers are idiots or anything like that. I also think the guys on here saying get a lawyer, sue him, make sure you get a new bike out of it, etc. etc. are out of line. I mean, I've done the same thing before. Not backing over someone, but I've pulled up behind the middle of a trailer before, knowing full well that the driver couldn't see me. I don't know what the circumstances here were, but from the post it sounds like both were at fault. The driver was at fault for having the music up so loud he couldn't hear anything around him, but nomax was also somewhat responsible for being someplace he knew the driver couldn't see him. Sueing the guy won't do anything but cost nomax money, because I'm sure there were probably warnings on the truck either saying to stay back however many feet, or "If you can't see me/my mirrors I can't see you."
