Got sideswiped in my neighborhood by an SUV. She swerved a hard right right into the left side of my CB, crushed my ankle (the shifter punctured my ankle actually, quite a few stitches), bent my shifter underneath the bike, cracked my crank case cover, and then proceeded to rail at me as if it was my fault. she had the nerve to get out of her vehicle, look at me with my shoe filling up with blood and say "oh, did you hurt yourself?" I swear, people incite me to murder.
Service has not yet begun on the bike, but I may ask for everybody's advice on what they think about the severity of the damage. if the crank case cover takes enough of a hit to crack it and leak oil, is the damage likely confined only to the crank case cover or is it likely i have deeper issues?
that's the best picture i could grab anyway. the puddle underneath is oil.
Awww man!!!
What do they say, most 'accidents happen within so many miles from home? Hope you heal quickly, and I hope she's got good insurance. Your bike needs a full going over by an expert. Not only is the crank case suspect, the frame could be bent also. Hope this comes out in the best way for you!
