Reminds me a story from when my dad had a motorcycle (okay not a bicycle but still good story). He was stopped at a red light and this guy in a pickup didn't see him or the red until too late. The guy hit my father's motorcycle and pushed him into the intersection. Well when all was said and done my father had minor damage to the rear fender on the motorcycle and to the handlebar cause by my father having to lay the motorcycle on its side after the accident. Well the police arrived and wanted both vehicles moved out of the intersection, my father picked the motorcycle off the ground, started it up, and drove off to the nearest parking lot. He then walked back and helped the other guy push the truck out of the intersection because the rear fender had completely ruined the front grill and radiator on the truck causing well over $500 of damage. Primarily minor body damage to the motorcycle but major mechanical damage to the truck. Great times!
