I was there, but left maybe 20 mins before the crash.
Sorry to hear the story... Hurts to see the 1098R laying on her side like that...
:o
ach its a crying shame ... I hope there was no perminat human injuries ... the insurance claims will be huge ... funny but not.
jeebus... thats not good
Sad thing is, that jackass may well have the state required minimum insurance. $25k liability, which of course won't even cover the 1098r, let alone everything else.
Just hope that woman who got hit is ok.
It good that nobody was killed. It proves that the unexpected will happen.
Why isn't there a chalk line around that dead duc?
What a mess :o
Glad no one was killed.
Nice alliteration by the way.

wow
mitt
yeah that shop is in a horrible location. when i loaded my bike up there, the truck was sticking out in the road.
i heard about it just a few minutes after it happened and was just a few minutes down the road, so i went over with a few friends to see if anyone we knew was hurt or involved at all. sad stuff...the conditions there are fairly optimal for something like this to happen; it's a somewhat "developing" neighborhood....people are usually going pretty fast down this road. but i suppose you never know when someone is going to do something retarded, no matter what neighborhood you're in.

Stopped by there today to see Scott and Rosa. The FJR was still there (inside that is...). What a mess. The driver of the Chrysler was hauled off by ambulance so no one there got his info other than the police. He was stunned but OK. Scott said the airbag did him the most harm, busted lip, etc. The driver of the Avalanche was not the owner and the insurance was within a day or two of expiring. Who knows if it's any good to begin with. Lots of fake insurance cards out there. Heck the numbers that are kicked around the insurance industry has between 25%-40% of all Dallas area drivers not having the state required coverage. No wonder "uninsured motorist" coverage is so high.
What is really scary about this is there could have been a dozen folks bent down checking out someones cool Ducati when the car came flying into them. I've been to many AMS sponsored affairs at the Dallas shop, race watches, demo days, new model presentations. There can be dozens of folks hanging out in front of the shop at any time talking and checking out scooters. Very lucky that no one got seriously hurt or killed. Sure, the driver of the Chrysler was equally to blame by speeding so fast in a 35mph zone but he is also lucky he didn't go flying straight through the front plate glass window and into the store.
Definitely sad about the bikes but great that everyone is still with us and safe. [thumbsup]

skany???
would you say "bimbos for brembos?"
That is a terrible situation..
If i never see a guy sitting on a 1098 like that again it would be too soon
and an "R", no less
I'm glad no one was killed . Seeing the " R " dead on the ground gave me chills brrrrrrrr.
One less " R" ; maybe mine is worth more ? Dolph :P
