Front fender options

[peterbaron]

Not to steal your thunder Azika, but I had the same thing happen in August. I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want PB giving me a hard time. He will now though

Here are some shots of the fender

Note the bike pic. The fender had been removed on the road side and we just set it back on for that pic. I was at a stop sign behind a big Transit van and he backed up . His plastic valence rode over the top of the tire and under the fender. Then the fender hit his metal bumper and bent up. Just as I was about to bail off the bike he stopped. The bike was stuck and could not fall over. Took 3 of us to pull it out. We took the fender off as it was binding.

If you look you can see I have a fork brace and it bent there, tearing the fender off its mount.

No other damage. He paid me and I made out as I had a bumper from an old forum member ACK-CB11. Thanks ACK!! I swapped over the mud guard and checked fork alignment and bolted the fender on and was back in the saddle.

I knew you were hiding something....
Better later than never. In August I was in Europe, but now I am already back!!
All I need to know is your insurance policy and number so I can friendly report this incident in order to adjust your premium. Upwards of course ...
Glad to hear it was minor and you are OK, MiLord!
