Sitting at a red light at an exit off Hwy 2, and I see this lady coming in hot (about 20mph). I realized she's not paying attention and brace for impact -no brakes, no skids, just full speed into my rear (lol).

I realized the impact wasn't as bad as a normal rear end, but at this point I'm livid, thinking my bike was thrashed (insurance coverage for a bike is a huge pain in the ass).

Anyways, realized there was practically no damage, except to the rack. She paid me in full for a new rack and rear valence piece. Stoked that 1up stocks replaceable parts, so after about $150, it was good as new.

Not sure if other racks would've held up as well, or would've been easier to fix, but 1up is the way to go.
