I guess we got lucky. No one was injured. Only my tire hit the car in front, doing no damage. The girl behind me hit me at an angle and so did no damage to her car. But it completely demolished the rear end of my bike. Tore the fender right in half, spewing tail lights, directionals, number plate and fender all over the roadway. Unfortunately, under Japanese insurance law, I'm equally responsible for the accident simply because I was there...
I am NOT a happy camper right now....

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, Stitchawl. You must have been shaken up, after your narrow escape and I hope you're really allright.
Isn't it forbidden in Japan as well to use a cell phone while driving?
I hope your insurance will pay at least something.
