My bike fell off my truck rack!

I guess I didn't tighten the bar hook tight enough :(

After an MTB ride at Glendale, my new (second time riding it) Specialized Chisel fs mountain bike left my truck at about 45 mph.

Luckily now one was behind me. That's what mattered the most!!!

But the bike has scrapes, both handlebars are eaten up at the ends, and the saddle was scuffed up.

I'm going to take it to Bike Surgeon soon to have them inspect it for frame damage. Hoping to get good news on that. Handlebar and saddle can be replaced.

It was a sad sight to see :(
 
I saw the pictures. Hopefully, it'll be fine and you can find replacement parts for the scuffed parts (saddle and grips)
