An interesting Ride

mrb · April 9th, 2014, 08:11 PM

So, tonight, I got rear ended.

Nothing too major, the kid (a friend actually) jumped out of his car right away to see if I was alright. No visual damage to the bike except a missing license plate screw.

I also got to use the full breaking potential of the bike in a sudden freeway back up because of some road closing or crash. That was actually kind of fun.

Anything I should be looking for after being rear ended?

Thanks
Ben

I'd make sure the swingarm/rear tire/chain/everything in the back of the bike really are good.

Yikes... Glad your all good

Sounds like a rough day. Glad you're ok. I'd check to make sure nothing is cracked/damaged or out of alignment.

thanks guys, I will do those things.

Stupidly, I rode on the freeway after being hit. Everything seemed normal, but I will give it a once over tomorrow.

Anymore details on what happened? Were you stopped at a stoplight?

It was at a stop sign. My friend said he was looking both ways when he was behind me because he was trying to find his way home. I think he was just subconsciously rolling forward.

I tell all my friends that just because we are friends don't assume I want to be rear ended.
