Ouch! Reminds me of the Pontiac that implanted itself into the rear end of my Kawasaki KZ-100 back about 1982! I was stopped to make a left turn and WHAM! The only thing I remember about those few seconds is "I've got to keep the bike upright or I'll get ran over!" Luckily, my rear fender was wedged between her grill and front fender. I just held on and was pushed down the road a bit.
BTW, this was a college kid on drugs! After the accident she told the police officer that my turn signal wasn't working. The cop said "let's see:" He flipped the turn signal switch and my blinkers, now dangling by the wiring, worked like a charm! Needless to say she didn't score any points with that move.
