I asked for under and un-insured.  But when they sent me the paper work I blindly signed the lines and now have neither.  My fault - none, since you should have your own car insurance.  Insurance companies should have to report lapses.  Still should have read what I signed my name to, but shouldn't need it I guess is what I am saying.

Bad to worse.  I found out the guy may have no insurance.  Which would suck.

Take one of his kidneys and sell it on the black market.

Well I went to the citation hearing for this early this week.

The stand alone witness and I had perfectly corellating stories and the accused mumbled about me switching lanes AFTER him and me going too fast.
So, he wanted the judge to believe that I switched lanes after him to GO AROUND him and a MOTORCYCLE was slower at changing lanes than an Astro van.  That and I switched lanes 3 times to go around him and had time do this at 80 while he was only going 30.

Well, what happened is the judge was already having a bad day and pissed and said, "Let the insurance companies sort it out.  I don't know what happened here.  Not Guilty."

So now something that would have been nice and simple is going to be a pain in my ass.

Salt, meet wound.  That sucks man.  Good luck with the insurance company

Glad you're mostly okay and hopefully you have a bike by the time the foot heals up.  [added]  just read the latter stuff - I truly hope you can get the insurance stuff settled, I think your witness and the daylight hitting this 80+ multiple swerving issue should at least put some holes on his rendition of the story.  Good luck with that.

"The triple clamp came off..."

I don't know about you, but... I don't tihink that's a good sign of what the frame might have gone through.

Kidding aside - I hope you're on the mend soon.

Sorry to hear about what happened man!  Dealing with paper work and he-said-she-said just sucks the joy out of days.  Hope you can recover soon from the injury and all the insurance work!

Damn.. that´s gotta be painful. Hope you get better soon bro. Hope you´re back on two wheels soon. Best of luck.
