During a warm summer night cruise as I turn left leaving a two-lane road, I get hit in the rear by a speeding motorbike. :(

1. left rear quart smashed. I was really lucky he didn't hit further forward.

2. Closer. It can be repaired from behind with a few layers of GRP and then sanded down on the outside, filled up and then gelcoat on top.

4. Big crack near the rollbar mount. However, only the gelcoat is damaged, the underlying fibres seem to have survived - thank god.

5. From below. The whole rear is hanging down, the left side more than the right.
