I agree with quietguy, know what to do if it happens. Here's my story. I was going to work and rear ended a Toyota Camry. Long store short (not really). Dew on the roads heavy traffic, brakes started locking up and hit the car at about 10mph. After hitting the Camry, I went down. Basically, I thought I had it until I didn't. Couple of minor abrasions and bruise. Didn't go to hospital. Someone called 911 not sure. The lady I hit was very nice and helpful. I didn't get a ticket, but it was clear it was my fault. So i picket it up and it wouldn't start. Had it sent to the dealer, bad mistake. After 2 weeks and a $5900 estament, I went and brought it home and fixed it my self for about $800. My bike has a windjammer and it took the brount of the hit. Replaced a couple of scrapped parts and a new/used fairing and the case around the gauges. She's as good as new. The insurance settled with me for $5700, so I paid it off and no salvage title. I think the dealer was trying to total it.
