Hi,
The good news are that you seems to be phisically OK.
The bad one is for the costs! I don't know where you live, but here in Switzerland, the price goes from Chf 450 and up for ONE plastic. As for the decals, I paid Chf 70.- for ONE (the left one, saying "Africa Twin").
Mine is a 1995 RD07, I hope those spares are less expensive for your model.

Objet : AT versus Volvo (XRV-LIST)
I recently had to make an emergency stop for a Volvo that had decided to
stand still in the middle of the road. Had it not been for the freshly paved
road I would have made it OK, but now I unfortunately came 1 meter short in
my brake path and subsequently touched the rear bumper of the Volvo. I
managed to put my '91 AT (RD04) on it's side before impact so I did not have
the pleasure of inspecting the roof of this Volvo. I did fell sideways
though and besides a sprained wrist and a sore neck fortunately no bodily
injuries. My BMW System3 helmet did take a beating though and can now be
scrapped, but it surely did the job. Worse is that my AT took a hit as well.
The frame is still OK, just damage to the plastic front and side panels.
Does anybody have any idea about how much these plastic covers/panels cost?
What about the AT decals/stickers?
Henk
P.s. The driver of the Volvo took off the moment I hit him. From an
insurance point of view he did not have to worry (although why he stood
still in the middle of the road is beyond me), so I guess he had a good
reason not to get involved.... Fortunately another driver passing by helped
me and my AT get up.
