Got hit by a crotch rocket today...*PICS*, minor damage, AND NEW RIMS. Options

[rpmmaxxed]

Was just making a left turn from a stop sign when I noticed a crotch rocket coming from the left side. I hadnt even exited the crosswalk lines by the time I stopped, tried to reverse to avoid him, but not fast enough.

He locked up his rear brake, laid the bike down, and slid a couple feet and his the front left as shown.

Sadly, I beleive it was just an inexperienced rider. Gentlemen in his late 40's early 50's on a brand new 1000cc+ Suzuki street bike. I helped him up, walked him over to the curb. Then picked up his bike, and walked it over to the side of the road.




skip a couple minutes, 4 cop car,s 1 fire engine, and a paramedics. arrive.

Paramedics told me it was only minor injuries, possible a sprained ankle, and some bruises, but no broken limbs for the biker. I was completely fine.

At the moment of contact, I was stopped, and the rider was going around 5-10mph.

I am under the impression that I am not at fault, since I didnt receive any citations after the officers went over the scene.


I only have liability on my car, so I am waiting to see what happens.


Was rather hard to capture the damage. and yes, I know the camera's settings are way off, didnt care to adjust...

Large dent in chrome bumper on drivers side, some knicks in rubber top, and valance has a gash and some large dents as well.
