So long story short, I rear ended a van about 2 miles away from my house coming from work. Van was cutting lane where it splits in 2 so vehicles can bear right and go to another road. Seeing this dummy do the above mentioned, I decided to stay on the main lane... when all of a sudden, he stopped short -_- on a street full of vehicles and a red light. (most likely he was using his phone...)
Well I tried to stop as best i could, i think i hit him at around 15-20mph at most. Bike did a stoppie, then I fell on my right elbow. Thankfully i was wearing my dianese leather jacket, and knee armor. didn't feel a thing at the moment! but i do feel sore today Damage is a broken right mirror and bent brake lever so i guess I got out lucky. Frame sliders did their job.
Anyway, I'm a little worried of the front tire. Although the impact wasn't hard, am I supposed to change the tire after an impact? or should i just keep an eye on it and ride it out.
