Got rear ended tonight.
On my way to pick up my son tonight I got in a wreck. An 18 year old kid stopped in the left lane of I30 because of a blowout. Not able to swap lanes due to traffic I came to a stop looking for a gap to get over a lane and around the car. Not in a good situation myself I check my rear view mirror looking for gap in traffic when I see a motorcycle locking his brakes up and plowing towards me. Well I got smacked in the left rear side, the motorcycle kept traveling and came to a stop wedged between the other car and the HOV rails. The motorcycle rider flipped off his bike and ended up between the HOV rail and the permanent rail. No one was seriously injured, the motorcycle rider (wearing a helmet) was transported by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out.
My car was unable to be driven off, the motorcycle hit hard enough to snap the control arm and take a chunk of the wheel off. Hopefully I'll talk to an adjuster tomorrow and find out how bad it really is. Don't have a way to upload photos at the moment, but it doesnt look pretty.

Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

Sorry about your car, but I'm glad you are OK.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

snap!! he took a big chunk out of your butt.
glad everyone is ok.
A bike did that?!? Wow
Glad everyone is OK
I'm very thankful no one was seriously injured. Even happier I hadn't picked my son up yet.
For reference it was a Honda Valkryie GL1500 (big v6 bike)

As long as it isn't me...TC's such a sucker for carnage.
So now we know what happens when a Valk bites a Miata... Interesting.

I want to see pics of the bike. I bet you came out a lot better.
I live where even the coyotes won't go...
Dang that sucks. Glad to hear your ok. What kind of bike hit you?
Despite missing a few pegs, the bike didn't look horrible...the handlebars did some tank slapping, and the sissy bar was bent. I'm sure there was more damage than what i could focus on though.

Glad you're okay Dallas. I think you may be pulling that bar out and putting it in your next miata. Sucks.

Glad you came out alright.
Go to Mazdastuff.com to get a new wheel rim. They are cheaper than anywhere else I have seen for the 2005 Mazdaspeed rims.

Sorry about the crash but glad you and your son are ok!
Nothing like the whine of a SC at full throttle!
Ouch.
