Default Got in a collision last night...

...with a motorcycle. I feel terrible about it. Supposedly he didn't break any bones, but don't know his official status yet.
I'm physically fine, car not so much.

Ouch! I hope the both of you are OK. So how did it happen? It looks like the majority of the impact was passenger-side, front. If you two T-boned and the impact was mainly on that front corner, then he IS lucky to be alive!

Hey it looks like you are a little low on washer fluid . . . just kidding! Man that really knocked the front end off. The fender is really not that strong a piece of metal as I got a dent in my above the wheel by a car door and pushed most of it back out with my thumb but you got hit really hard there got the hood too. OUCH!! Came off all in one piece too - wild! Glad you both are ok!

Glad everybody is ok!

Cars can always be fixed, thats what they make insurance for

Look on the bright side, at least until it's fixed you will be getting some serious air induction.

Being a rider, I have to ask; How?

Rider being stupid or you weren't paying attention? Or combo thereof?

Since he won't say, I'll guess he turned left in front of the bike.

Get a different front bumper, headlights and a carbon fiber hood while you're at it... if they cost less or the same as the OEM parts... insurance will cover it...

That's how I got my sonar tails and front lip! ;)

i don't know how it is relate but yea, i was on a car cruise last night. while going home i saw a lot of cops and cone thinking it was road work i ignored it. getting closer i saw a black R1 on the ground completely smashed with no riders. about 10 feet away was a corolla, driver side all smashed in. i guess the bike was speeding and didn't see the corolla coming out of the intersection and T-boned it. looked pretty bad. i think the guy died. cuzz i saw cop taking picture about 20 feet away ahead of the bike.
