well, this morning i was thinking... im gonna go snap some pics of my new lx150 with the honolulu city skyline as a backdrop so i could post em up here and say hi to everyone...
well, i didnt quite make it to the marina... sitting at a stopline, i hear a loud crash behind me, i look in the side mirror and next thing i know im getting rear ended, forcing me into the suv in front of me. apparently, a large pickup hit the suv behind me, suv hit me and i hit the suv in front... as soon as i felt the impact and as i hit the suv i jumped off the bike and pulled it down. surprisingly my little vespa held up real well. broken turn signal in the rear along with some scratches, and the body panel that is under the seat got a big dent. the side got some scratches and there was a small scratch on the front fender. not sure how the frame held up under all that though. i ended up driving it really slowly about a mile to the dearlership i had just bought it from, since they would be the ones fixing it up anyway it if isnt totalled. the ride was unstable and died on me three times in that mile, mile and a half drive. so im guessing something more than just body panels got messed up.
i drove a crappy dayang 49cc moped for over a year and nothing ever happened on that... one week into my 1 million times better quality vespa, and it gets hit! what a day...
