Glad to hear your ok, I hate when I leave a space cushion and the fools behind you pull right up to your rear tire . I always look back at them so realize that they are not leaving me room.

Same reason my buddy got rid of his RC51 and went to a GSX-R 750, and I am currently looking for one!

Well, I never got over my paranoia. Sold the bike and walked away.
Glad you are ok.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone! I had a couple moments last night where I had to sit down and really get over what just happened. I couldn't have been luckier but I think the mental issues are the only thing that "happened" to me.

I am off to pick up a police report and call my insurance company.

Not sore in anyway which I means my ride was pretty smooth!

Same reason I have the 06 600, light and easy to throw around in the twisties. Bottom grunt is fun, but I lead my buddy on his R1 all the time just because mine handles so well.

Glad you're OK - Could have been a LOT worse. Laid my bike down about 25 years ago doing about 30 mph - Have'nt been on one since.

Can we get some daylight pics of your bike? Hoping you get taken care of right by your insurance and theirs...

Everybody has different tastes in bikes. Get over yourself.

Do I need a 1200cc bike? No. Do I race my bike? No. Do I love my K1200RS? Yes. To each their own.

Glad you are Ok Alex.

Glad You are ok. I ride a cruiser bike, to old for a sport bike. I know what You mean about always looking behind Yourself. You have to watch everybody because they don't watch out for You.
