The trailer was my friend. The Suv was mine as the bike. I literally just picked it up

Well that sucks. So we've got at least three insurance companies, two destroyed vehicles, two damaged vehicles and a destroyed trailer because of a moment of inattention by the truck driver. How are bike and trailer damages claimed? I suspect your vehicle insurance picks up the trailer and your bike insurance picks up the bike? Make sure the dealer does a very thorough inspection, a lot of energy made it through to your pilot. See if you can include the wheel chock and straps somewhere too as they have taken a big hit and should be replaced.
The straps obviously held so that is positive. Did you have the ratchet handle closed before the crash? Always a good idea as it double locks the ratchet.
The bike wasn't under my bikes policy just yet. As i had literally just bought it. I think the Pilots policy might cover it all. Good idea about claiming chocks and straps, thank you. Bike was definitely tied down right.

Jeez.... It doesn't take much to write off cars these days... Your SUV "looked" okay, but.... I guess until they take a really good look, who knows what damage lurks unseen..?
'Just got off the phone with my ins. co. They determined just from what I described damage-wise that my F150 is a "total loss"...
I guess they enter the description of the damage along with other data and they're computer spits out a verdict... Lol.
Adjuster will call me soon... Can't wait to see the offer. :-(
It's been many years since I've had to deal with a claim... 'Last time it went very easy... 'Hope it's the same this time.
Oh my. Hey at least we all came out ok. Whew! Hope your offer is good enough to replace the truck… it looked sooo messed up. Feeling sore today?

True... But man I think you've suffered the most emotional trauma. I mean damn, new bike damaged... THAT has got to suck.
I think my ass is pretty nice though...
The twist in the trailer hitch is concerning. Presumably that twist/tear is in the body of the SUV not the big metal pipe that is the hitch. Was akshun the front or did he get pushed forward into someone else?
Yeah, too bad you couldn't help Boston Pizza guy
I had just gotten out from surgery and hospital too. At least the wheel chair i had in the back survived lol.True... But man I think you've suffered the most emotional trauma. I mean damn, new bike damaged... THAT has got to suck.

I did end up going to the hospital right after everything was towed away. My wife nagged me into it.
Thumb is sprained and a big bruise on my leg. I think I'll live.
This makes more sense now. Strap was over the passenger peg. I wondered how that got hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if your handlebars were hurt too.
The bar rotated downwards yup! I think it can be adjusted.

it’s always the last one in the conga line that gets nailed. We were in a 20 car pileup going to Grand Bend in the 60s. We were the second last car. The car that hit us was an OPP cruiser. Oops.
Unless one of the intermediate cars is moving at all. If so, they get 50% fault for everything in front of them. If you're going to get hit, make sure you're not rolling.

Quick question, sort of off topic. Was it that BYNG truck that hit you?
