kingjason rbent member Posts: 306	Well Dad got hit this morning. May 29^th, 2009, 8:25am He is fine but has a beat up elbow. I also hear the Nimbus may have a bent frame. He said an older woman (hes 68) ran the stop sign at Hill City and Frank Kiesler and ran smooth into the back of his bike. He said he felt bad for her and let her go. Sighhh.

It was a stretch to get him to buy that one. He told be it was bent over about three inches on the frame. Also busted up his new wheel. I could kick his but for not getting her info.

Getting hit isn't fun, but then to be out of a bike is just unacceptable. Have him check with his home owner's insurance. They covered one of my bikes when it was stolen after a ride. It's worth a try.
