At the end of round one, the tractor trailer left unscathed
as did the motard, but D lost one helmet and gained
elbow stitches and abrasions. WEAR YOUR GEAR!!!!!
I may not be posting this if I didn't wear mine. Dax is
on the way to take me home from Pres.
glad your ok! how did it happen?
Glad to hear all is well! and what did happen??
Jeez...I'm glad you are still able to type, Dan. What happened?
CRAP! :o :o :o :o :o
Glad you are OK, man!!!!
he got clipped by the FedEx dickhead. The asshole didn't even stop. I hope the cop ran him down Dan. DO NOT settle with them until you are fully checked out, especially considering he didn't even stop. I would also call the customer line and tell them the time and location so they can run the routes/drivers down. Anything you need let me know. I'll be around next week if you want to go check out your bike and bring her home or to AMS.
Holy shit...
Crap! Sorry to hear about this Dan. Please let me know if there's anything you need.
Thanks everyone!! At a T stop sign, the car in front of me
slowly reversed to to give the truck more room to turn right
into our direction. I slapped his trunk and he stopped just short
of hitting me, then BAM!!!! I'm on the ground and off rolls
the Fed Ex truck. People pick ip the Hyper and get it off
the street as I manage to waddle off too and get some
gear off. I try to go look at the bike, but can't stay up
so ambulance time it is. I'm stuck on the I phone, so
maybe Dax will post a pic I sent him. Cracked helmet
and one big dang elbow for me. :P
Hate to hear that this happened to you Dan...like everyone else said, I'm glad to see that you're able to post this!
Hollar if you need anything.
Wow, glad you are mostly ok. I can't believe he did not stop [thumbsdown]
Damn dude! Glad you are ok [thumbsup]
Cracked helmet?! :o Man, I'm glad you're OK! I've got nothing at all on my calendar this coming week - I've got a truck and trailer if need be.
I hope you're back on your feet again soon.
Damn Dan! That is Effed up! >:(

Thanks Zach. [thumbsup]
Holy crap Dan, I'm glad you are ok. Let me know if I can help with anything.
dan did you get any witness info? did the cop catch up to the truck? you need to see if they have your accident report posted. the only way you will get taken care of is if you have one of those two. otherwise as bad as this sounds it will be your word against the drivers. i know it sucks but it is the way the world works today. you definitely want to find that stuff out.
Man that sucks. Glad it wasn't more serious. Hope you and the scoot are ok.
Thanks for the help Dax! And Jason gave me a ride
to get the Hyper from the wrecker and back from AMS [thumbsup]
Sorry about bleeding in your cool Benz :P these two
friends are hooking me up with an attorney too ;D
It looks like I've got tire marks on my helmet. No wonder
I could not stay standing. It's good to be well and have
so many good friends thanks to everyone!
Oh, Lisa I'm using those med supplies you brought me
last year. [thumbsup]
I'm so glad you weren't hurt worse...
Speedy recovery!!!
Damn glad you are still standing!
make the beast with two backsers!! [roll] [roll] [roll]
Glad your OK. Sorry I missed this.
Dan, glad you're alright Buddy. Call or text me if you should need anything.

Best we can tell it looks like the truck ran over his arm too :o.
There is a tire mark on his jacket at the left elbow which might explain why so much skin damage occurred while the jacket looks fine.
Wow - sorry you got hurt Dan. Hope you can put the squeeze on this driver over this ! Let me know if you need anything.
I'm down and resting today. Thanks for the Help offers
Update: I've got a lawyer and I talked to the moto
cop today. No police report yet as the license plate
did not process. I'm anxious to read the witness
statements. Dax, CVS had the vitamin powder. Thanks [moto]
I'll be seeing a doc tomorrow and will request a scan as
you guys have suggested. I'll post up tomorrow.
Dan, I'm sorry to read about your accident. Take care.
Tanks for the concern [thumbsup]
MRI is tomorrow. Saw a physical therapy doc today.
Glad you are getting the medical care you need. Keep us posted. [thumbsup]
OK, I get the laptop up and running, so here are some pics.

This was today, almost two weeks after I lost.

This is the under side of the elbow the day after.
Estimate to repair the Hyper minus labor (drum roll) ... $3K :o
Man that hurts to see.
jeez, Dan - that's terrible. I hope you recover soon :-\ Let us know if you need anything.

DAMN. That SUCKS. [thumbsdown]
If I understand this right, you may have issues identifying the FedEx truck. If that is the case, FedEx can tell which truck was at your location for the time. They scan every item at delivery and it has location and time. Highly unlikely two trucks were in that area at the same time.
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're better [thumbsup]
Thanks. I'm feeling stronger and getting exercise.
Time to prod the lawyers into action :P
So, how you doin' Dan?
Thanks for asking! The MRI shows my shoulder has a
fracture. Now I know why it hurts so much at work :P
All three elbow bones are bruised so it's still stiff and
swollen but does not hurt.
Still got some scabs but the bleeding finally stopped [thumbsup]
Time for new bed sheets ;D
So how is the legal side going? Any word from FedEx's insruance people?
I'm sitting back let my first lawyer not call me so now
I have my moms lawyer not call me to ok him to
call the first one to see what's up. There seems to be some
fierce thumb twiddling going on. [thumbsdown]
I've been advised to be patient, but I can't spend
much time at the docs office as I have to work ;D
