Been hit 3 different times... one was a left hook, behind me, so I didn't see it... bent the rear triangle of the bike and the rear wheel... bruises and scratches to me. One was a right hook... tweaked fork and front wheel... minor scratches for me. The last was a motorist who stopped and then went at a stop sign. I had ROW and was moving at over 20MPH. Big dent in the front fender of the car, pretzeled the bike... I was taken unconscious to the hospital, woke up several hours later. Held for observation, later had facial surgery for large gashes and did physical therapy... the latter for my back. BTW the motorist was ticketed for failing to yield ROW and the police were very cooperative.
