Mudguard took the worst of this. Rider unhurt, thankfully, and the bike was in motion at the time.

Ah well, careful what you wish for. ABS bike stops dead in front of Harley chopper? :) Interesting that the rear wheel seems to have come away reasonably round. I wonder what happened?

Car rear ended the bike. Apparently the front wheels of the car were off the road as the front end climbed up and on top of the wheel. Frame is twisted and rear engine casing's are damaged.

So does that mean that it will run straighter than when it came out of the factory?   ;D

Now if that had been a bobber with little or no rear mudguard...

The rear lights still look ok?    ??? The fender pivoted on the fender hinge at front.

I didn't ask, but there was no damage done to either side of the bike so he may well have done.

That bike is almost brand new.  There are still nipples on the tire tread!
