Re: Pete rear ended a car...
Just a bit of broken plastic and bent metal. If you are OK and you know why you crashed and how to prevent or reduce the chances of this happening again, there really is nothing to worry about.
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
I guess Fred and I are running level on the collision meter right now.
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
Hey Pete, glad to see that you're ok, that's the most important !
Connected just today to the forum for another matter and saw your thread. I hope the repairs will be ok and that the parts will not be too long to arrive !
I still hope to see you on your bike in a few weeks in Shandong ! ;-)
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
You bet I'll be ready!
I'm going to order my parts from Taobao (faster and cheaper).
I'll be keeping a close eye on your ride report.
All the best!
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
Very good mate, I'll try to keep the YBR250 running until Shandong, but man it's not easy, she's taking a beating on the Chinese roads !
Good luck for you, and most important : be safe !
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
Glad to see your alright.That is the main thing.I guess all that safety gear you bought paid off.
I can't see "and for being foreign" being your fault you did the right thing and was legal.
Wow Mcdonalds wish I could have a big mac large meal.

I agree, it didn't really apply but I was trying to relate to #38 of ZMC888's post "Defensive Riding in China (what to look for)"

"38. is it illegal to be a foreigner?"It ain't illegal to be foreigner if everything is by the book (which you were well pretty much)which as we all know the book can be interpreted by different people in different ways.
Your cool forget about it.
Re: Pete rear ended a car...
When I was young and growing up in L.A., Asian drivers were supposed to be avoided at all costs. It seems like in China it's the other way around! All kidding aside--gld to read that the only hurt was the bike and some pride...
