Nobody ever "sees" bikes. Number one excuse used at accidents or when they cut you off, almost hit you, or run you off the road. You can have loud pipes, be slathered from head to toe in reflective high vis yellow, and put a disco ball on your head yet they still won't see you. People are too distracted these days and don't take the time to actually look. Hell, I used to drive tractor-trailers, and people would "not see me" either. How do you not see a 13ft tall, 9ft wide 70ft long vehicle?

Glad you are ok and could walk away. Not many people get that lucky in those types of crashes. Sucks about the bike, but at least it's easy to get another one.
