the Ferret
Daily rider since May 1965
Sitting at a light. Light changes, I click my bike into first and bam, felt just like I kicked it in gear with no clutch, but the clutch is in. That was weird. I shift it back to neutral and then back to first and it slips into first just like normal. Thought what the heck? Look in my rear view mirror and all I can see is white, The front end of a SUV really, really close and I realize what happened. I pull out and point at the suv and indicate they should pull over, which they do. I find neutral and get off the bike while a young guy climbs out of the SUV and comes walking up. I say "What the He**, you hit me". The guy says "Did you roll back?" (we were on flat ground) I said "No, you obviously rolled forward". We both looked at the back of my bike and I swear there was no damage. Not to the fender, tail light, saddlebags, pipes absolutely nothing I could see. I told the guy he got lucky, he said sorry and got back in his SUV and I got on the bike and went for a 60 mile ride. Everything felt normal.
Any place I should look for damage that wouldn't be obvious?
