    I was getting back from work, waiting for the green light when a w****er in a brand new Audi forgot that if you let the transmission in "drive" and you don't apply the brakes... the car will go forward...

    Ok, nice kick in the back,i had both feet on the ground and luckily i was able to don't drop the bike.

    With the front bumper he hit the rear wheel and the licence plate, no visible damage at all (but he got a nice 10 inch scratch from my plate hehe :twisted: :twisted: ).

    I also put the bike on the center stand and shift in 2nd and 3rd gear, no strange noises and the wheel seems to spin perfecly "round" and straight, then i drove the last miles in the traffic at 60 - 80 km/h (35-50 mph) and the bike seems ok.

    Anyway, suggestions over other things/places to check?

    hmm... not very honest. Keep in mind any repairs over the value of totaling the bike to an insurance company before you go hog wild with the hammer...

    Check your cornering and brake behavior. Also check to see if you have a torque stay on the rear end and make sure it looks straight. Bumps can flex the frame in places you cannot see and change the bikes geometry.
    Ride on a straight highway and check for any wobble.

    Might want to look at your rear brake adjustments and chain tension.

    Just a thought.
