Red face Big Trouble here!

Well at least I can tell all of you that the RTs take one heckuva good impact!
...Taking it to the dealer last evening for maintenance, warranty work and some farkle-adding. within about a half-mile of the shop and I'm going over my list of work that's needed and I just flat-out failed to yield at a stop sign... T-Boned a Subaru!
Frame bent, suspension damage, plastic up front is toast...
Good news though! Everybody is fine and the RT gave as good as it got since the entire left side of her car isn't looking too great either! (Small consolation!)
I got rocked, but it stayed upright and I drove it off the highway with the dashboard lit up like a Christmas Tree...
So now I'm just embarassed with my own stupidity!

Glad you made it out of the accident okay. Spyder will live too. Accidents happen.

Probably the best display of "Distracted Driving" and its results that I've ever had to report...
So please keep your heads in the game and on what you're doing!

Thanks!
I'm okay and she's okay and everything else is repairable...
The bike was going in for work anyway... so the list just got a bit longer than was originally planned...
