Sorry to see the truck in such a mess. I always think of them as sacrificing themselves to save us. My old beater took a hit similar to yours. Had I been riding that morning, I wouldn't be riding today.

Ouch, glad you were in a cage.

Not to thread-jack, but I was almost ran over yesterday at UCSB. Walking in a cross-walk to the gym, a girl in a black 4-door blew through a red light and was within 6 feet or so of making my day. Look both ways before you cross, guys
