'67 Vista Rear-Ended by Motorcycle

Saw this on Facebook. Says rider landed on the hood. Hard to believe. Good luck with repair parts.

I wonder how in the world a 1967 Vista Cruiser can stop faster than a modern motorcycle...unless someone wasn't paying attention or going very fast.

Given the force of the impact, clearly someone was BOTH going too fast and not paying attention.

It appears the Vista was backing up at a very high rate of speed, perhaps his backup lights weren’t working?

You'd have to be firewalling that 330 to make that kind of dent in reverse into a stationary motorcycle, plus the damage would look different due to which vehicle had the kinetic energy. Also, it says who hit whom.
