No, not with the Charger. On my way home from work on a country road, the lady in front of me missed her road, so she turned right at the next road then proceed to do a sharp left hand turn with out bothering to see if anyone was coming. I had eased off the gas when I saw her turning and then starting to pull a U-turn but I figured she would stop before pulling back out onto the road :shruggy: I had not time to hit the brakes but swerved hard to the left (no traffic was coming) and as you can see below she nailed me just behind the front wheel.
The passenger door still opens but is way out of line and opened up at the top. My double doors are mis-aligned and won't close. My biggest concern is I have a vibration over 50 mph, I'm wondering if my frame is tweaked.
I constantly preach to my kids that you have to drive as if  every other driver on the road is an idiot, guess I proved my point.

Your ok thank God! your right, you have to think for the other guy and gals out on the road too, i had a near miss in the Charger today, idiot on his cell phone didn't look and made a right turn directly in my path without looking to see if anyone was comming... i think he had a scare though when he finally noticed i was a foot behind his rear bumper cause in the rear view i thought i saw his eyebrows leap up to the top of his head...  :o    :smilielol:

She probably tagged the rim just enough to bend it. Jack it up & spin it.

Glad you're ok, sorry about your van. :(

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
