Be xtra cafreful out there family. Expect the un-expected, because that sure was un-expected

Jebus!!! Thank god you are ok!

i have one of those kevlar shirts... in a lovely yellow

My first ride with my girl on the back after a 7 year hiatus, make that fiancee on the back, we're pulling out of a gas station and there is a line of cars coming in the 'IN' lane... mister 'dad's buick' figures the process is too slow for him so he pulls around the line and speeds IN through the OUT side... directly at me. binders on hard but not being used to a passenger on the back i tip over... very very slowly. all the way. it would have been funny but for the ass-buick... who drove off, 'natch.

so, like he said " Be xtra cafreful out there family. Expect the un-expected, because that sure was un-expected"

always!

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.  The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. And in bacon.

So how are you feeling on "the day after"?

I'm thinking all the soreness probably hit you like a ton of bricks this morning.  I know I probably sound like your mother or something...but did you visit your doctor yet?  You just might need some professional documentation later if this guy is as big a jerk as I think he is going to be.

oh, yeah, hey - +1

miss your next day of work, too, even if you think "I could /manage/ it".  don't, hit a clinic if not your regular GP on an ugent/same-day appointment.  have yourself checked out head to toe.  maybe you're already on this page but if there's any doubt here's a reinforcing opinion.

i don't have personal crash aftermath experience, but my boss is our EH&S manager, so i see things.  {thankfully, not dead people, but lots of injured ones}

Oh man!  A blue monster bites the dust.  You had sent me a picture of your bike when I was asking about rim stripes.  As soon as I saw a pic of that front end I knew it was your bike.  Bummer.  I am glad you are ok.

[thumbsup] to the Shark helmet as well...I have a RSR2 and i've always said that helmet is going to save me in a wreck.  It's an amazing piece of engineering.  I encourage anyone to purchase one I know, even though they are wicked expensive.

I say you buy the bike back and part it out...i'd be in line for some goodies you've got on there.  8)

Glad to hear you're not too badly hurt.  Good luck with the lawyer.  Rake that punk over the coals.

thejsnide

Glad to hear you are alright.  I have no sympathy for people like that.   I laid my bike down a month ago and people honked and yelled at me while I was laying in the middle of the road obviously shaken up trying to maneuver my bike into the median... Where's the love?  I bet you would give your bike to see his face when he gets the papers...  Heal up soon.
Turn it off man, turn it off!  It's sucking my will to live!

Uggghhh....  >:( >:(  There are some geniuses out there, aren't there... I would ave pulled over and knocked the guy out for you if I was driving by!!

Sorry to hear, and glad you're OK!! Your bike was really nice, so hopefully Mr. Insurance Guy treats you well + you can get going on a new project!!

That's what I wish for most ( besides never having this happen), Is that someone was with me to put that guy to sleep for a few minutes. If any guy needs to get knocked out it's him, and Suge Knight (but he got his a few weeks back)  [laugh]

I still get really pissed off and can't believe that the IDIOT never even said "sorry" or "Are you alright?"

thejsnide- Assholes are everywhere. You'd think someone would be kind enough to help.  :-\

mcgalinmd- Hopefully you don't have to find out just how good the RSR2 is. But it's a great helmet, I recommend it.

Thanks once again to everyone. You all and this board keep my spirits up.  [thumbsup]

It's a good thing you didn't hit him. It makes your case stronger in court without the assault charge.
