Sorry to hear about this. Glad you're OK. Yesterday when I was stuck in traffic I had a delivery van sitting 3 inches from the rear of the bike. Since traffic wasn't going anywhere I put the bike on it's kickstand and walked back and asked him what his problem was. For the rest of the time I was in traffic he stayed back a few feet until he could get away from me.

Damn, glad you weren't hurt. Only good news is the cager should be charged with hit and run, so he will get to find out the cost of being a prick! Bonus if he resists arrest!

Glad to hear you are okay Ray...
Sorry to hear about your bike. You are not having a good year regarding your bike. That sucks. Maybe the Antlers trip will help decompress you some from the stressful year.

Glad the dents and scratches are on the bike and not you.
Hopefully the law will catch up with him.

Sorry to hear this. I'm glad you are alright. I had a very similar thing happen to me in march except she hit with enough force to knock me out and do $6800 worth of damage to my nomad. Needless to say that is why I ride a vaquero now.

No report from the police yet Ray? Once they run the plates they should have had information by now...
