Got Run Into Yesterday
« on: May 21, 2018, 04:02:40 PM »
Out for a short ride yesterday morning and some old geezer blew through a Stop sign and knocked me down while I was making a left turn in front of him.Trashed left side,nose fairing,stator cover,etc.,etc.,etc. and didn't break any bones but left hand,shoulder,etc. are bunged up and still have a headache.At least the old boy was driving a nice Mercedes and admitted fault to the CHP officer taking the incident report.Called an attorney this morning and waiting for him to stop by the house this afternoon.Guess I should've had some boots on,only wearing Vans slip ons and knocked me right out of both of them. :hys:

Sounds like he just wasn't looking in the first place, or lack of focus/concentration.
How's the body today? You got some good pain meds? or just some good old Whiskey !   :lol:

You got that right buddy,have more aches and pains this morning.Woke up this morning with a sore right foot and noticed my 2nd toe is purple and can't bend it,that sumbitch might be broken too. :lol:Going to a different doctor this morning for more x-rays,left hand is still puffy and can barely move fingers and need to get the toe looked at.

Yeah bro,he just wasn't looking,I was 2 feet in front of his car(broadside)when he barreled into me.Bike is here at home and looks like shit,bums me out.Did hire Russ Brown(the "Motorcycle Attorney" :lol:)yesterday and one of his guys came out for about an hour.Super cool dude(also rides)and said I'd definitely get the bike fixed,lost wages and some for pain and suffering(told me what to do and what NOT to do :lol:).Do have some pain meds.(Norcos)but not taking them,don't want to risk going down that downer road. :lol:

The bike can be fixed bro, that's great news!!
Very smart move with appointing a bike specialist lawyer  :thumb:
Don't forget any damaged clothing on the claim? I don't know if it's legit over there?
I hope it's straightforward and the bike is mended soon.
Its summer here and the old fart here twisted his knee doing gardening ffs  :hide:

Oh yes if the lid has had a smack even a scuff, you do not know how much damage has been done.
All lids have a shelf life because of UV degradation of the shell materials. So depending on the age of the lid even a small trap
can do enough damage to render the lid as a scrapper.
Same with your gloves, if its bust stitching on the gloves again replace them.

But don't be rushed into settling any claims yet my old mate ok. You got to make sure there is no longterm damage to your feet and hands. The older we get we don't mend as good or mend at all. Your lawyer should be looking out for you incase the guys insurance co are looking to do a fast pay off to limit their financial liability.
I had 6 years of this crap when they took that long to settle my claim. Ive got several worn out T shirts  :wink: :lol:
I refused to let them settle until I was satisfied that all of my injuries and losses were covered.

Watch out for a brain injury, even the slightest bump can cause damage.
From someone who knows.

Went and got more x-rays and no new breaks(showed me the old breaks from my last crash in '02)but a shitload of arthritis in all of the joints.Guess all of the swelling is soft tissue damage and should recede in a week or so,he's a little concerned of shoulder damage but that's about it.Will take a while for it all to play out(still have the headache but said it's most likely a mild concussion like football players get).Want my damned bike fixed pretty soon though,really looks like shit. :lol:

Since there's no proof of any major injury(yet)I would imagine they'll have it settled in a month or so,will just have to wait it out. :thumb:

I think we all need to work on that advanced rider technique of diving under the bike to save it from major damage.
Some people have it down to a fine art.

I hope you get your bike back repaired soon bro.
Looking forward hearing about your ride outs again soon.  8)

Howdy big HOS,

Hoping the guy's insurance adjuster will show up in the next week or to give me an estimate on the damage.Left shoulder and hand still not right,am hoping to return to work Tuesday(though not looking good) as savings were used on the Jeep's motor and trans. and I'll need a paycheck in another couple of weeks.

Ello mate.
Hopefully you can get some loss of earnings back?
We can get a "sick note" (not fit to work) from a medical doctor to give to our bosses and also use them in an insurance claim situation. But I know some things are different stateside. Keep smiling my mate and just be glad
you haven't got the Royals being shoved in ya face every where you turn like we do atm!  :D
