I'm planing to install something similar soon, just custom made and cheaper ) I'll post a "How to" of course.
Glad you're ok...I don't know if you saw the thread I posted recently about getting rear-ended also...it happened April 16. I feel a bit timid now when I ride. I will, however, avoid that particular intersection as it's a very bad one!I rode home after the rearend,I also took it out today and the wheel seems to be fine also.It's still steady with my hands off the grips, no wobble.I went about 90 miles on it today and after I took off the finder,there are two scratches on the sides of the seat plastic.But other than that it's realy in great shape.I thank God for His safety! Everyone Plz be safe! And thanks for all of your concern.
As a police officer, what would you have said to someone on a bike who you saw doing exactly what you did?I almost got rear ended a while back. I stopped for a red light and heard the car behind me lock up the brakes. I had a feeling that she wasn't gonna stop in time, so I just ran the light. As I looked in my rear view mirror, the cage driver managed to stop where my front wheel would have been (or so it appeared in the mirror). As a police officer, I think that the test for getting a license to drive needs to be harder, and elderly people need to get retested every 3 years or so. But then again, my $.02. Glad you're ok. As a friend of mine told me after my high side "Don't let this scare you away from riding. Jump back on and work yourself back into your old rhythm".
