Rear Ended @ Stop Light Saturday 7/25

I agree with the fact that his posting was uncalled for and violated the flaming rules. But, you have to admit, there was only a minute between your warning and his post. I'll bet the two crossed in cyberspace.
I know, I know. He showed his true colors fairly early.

I did check the mirrors & it looked as if the lady was stopping , then I looked at the car in front of me to judge my stopping distance , just as soon as I stopped I got hit , the lady claims that her daughter who is 8 months pregnent made a noise and she looked at her daughter then look up and that when she hit me , she took her eyes off the road for just a few seconds . I went to walk in clinic and had my back looked @ , nothing is broke just soft tissiue damage according to the doc , I got a perscription for some pain killers and was sent home . I am getting a hold of my insurance co today & getting that process started & the bike is going to the HD dealer on Thursday . I would like to thank everyone for their concern .

Ironmark,
Glad to hear you are okay. Sorry about the bike, but it sounds like it might not be too bad.
I hate sitting at lights waiting, wondering if people are going to see me. I recently put up a post about my new taillight from BrightAssLights.com - BAL-1 Tail Lights, Super Bright LED Lights It really is amazing at how far back people stay now. When pulling up to stop, I will let it flash several times and so far no close calls. I have it set to blink three fast times twice and then solid. It actually looks like a cops light when it blinks.
It still does not keep me from wondering about people behind me, but I have had it on for ten days now and it truly makes a difference.
Hope you get your bike fixed soon.
Ride safe!
Eric

Glad you are O.K.
It's tough to constantly scan our mirrors for rear enders. Especially when there's a car or truck behind us and we can't see what's behind them. Riding a bike is so much more complicated than driving a car. But, it's way more FUN!!!
Enjoy the ride and hope your Karma is in good shape!
