Luckily, not much damage as far as I can see, broke rear tail, end of Clutch lever broke...thanks Suzuki for the racing style levers, rear indicator and slight graze on exhaust.
I didn't have bike on steering lock so front was straight so bike just seems to have fallen the way it was standing so even the Oggy knobs have not been scratched.......

Just onto Insurer's.

Bugger.

I know how you feel, similar story with me. Red bike, Red/White leathers and car still rear ends me. Similar damage as with yours. Good luck with the repairs.

By the way, sorry to hear about your bike you hetrosexual basher.

I say ban all cars from the workplace - park and ride or.... get a motorsickle.
Mind you a good deep scratch right along the side of the car is not deemed as violence ...is it? Nahh only kidding - do unto others etc...
Hope your bike gets sorted quick.

Slight deviation as I do but saw a pedal cyclist with 'One less car' on their back.

Am tempted to wear a t-shirt over my leathers saying 'one less cyclist'............sorry just my sense of humour.....

They can "not see a red bike" the same way they can "not see a train"!

Cool response Mr Finn....................I love you..

Mind as you may know Aikido is a very powerful martial art when you consider it does not require strength.............

Now that would be a sight - you could start a new craze - It would be specially good for bikers with old leathers that are fallin apart etc.

but I do agree - now we are really talkin - I mean what is worse? bad motorists or bad cyclists ...mmm toss a coin.

Bummer buck... at least he didn't do a runner or were you actually right there when it happened?
A mate of mine was sitting at a cafe and watched in disbelief as this guy in a car backed into her Harley and then KEPT ON reversing over it. By the time he realised something didn't feel quite right his car was surrounded by a group of angry bikers!

I am surprised the parked Harley did not push back.........but how can you not feel a Harley...........said the Bishop to the Actress.........

My baby was just pushed off side stand so damage not so bad.
