Sucks to hear this...
I often wonder how many times something like this happens. You know, Jealous cagers getting aggravated at the lane sharing motorcycles zipping up to the front. :dntknw:

Either way, I am glad you came out relatively unscathed.

Glad you're more or less OK. Although I wasn't there at the time, I don't think this is an aggravation problem, it smacks more of duh! (expletive) stupid. She wasn't paying attention. Didn't look before turning and didn't feel the need to use a turn signal. What? you mean there are OTHER people driving on MY road? Well, I had no idea.

You are right........... SP,.. ;) '.. she wasn't getting even, she was stuck on stupid

Would love to have seen the look on her face though, when the realization dawned that she has messed up big time!

I was driving through a near empty parking lot yesterday. SUV was stopped in the main lane with the driver in the car. (Not enough spaces big enough for you, dear?) I paused behind her for a moment. Nothing happened. Began passing her slowly, with a wide enough berth for.......... the 90 degree left turn without signal. Knowing that it was coming, I had my hand on the horn and foot ready to move to the brake. Poor lady must have hit her head on the top of her car, she jumped so violently. Who would have though huh? Another driver using HER parking lot.

Y'know, if you adjust those make-up mirrors just right......

...you can use them to see if anyone is around your vehicle. :dribble:

OF course, that requires the driver to actually look into them before making an overt move. :rolleyes:

Didn't see this thread till today! Glad your mostly OK, the bike is repairable and this will end the crashing for now (as Burk said, this is the third).

Heal up and be careful when you get back on!

Whoa!!! You mean in an estimate of driver fault, her insurance (or insurance companies) don't cover riding gear damaged in the fall. I mean, if you were seriously injured, they would take care of your medical bills right? (not the same level I know). It seems like it should be; put me back to where I was before you smashed us all up. Just suprised they didn't cut a check for those things which were destroyed during the accident. Any farkling items, they failed to cover? Sliders and such?

Actually .... that is my exact Mission starting today!! I was waiting for them to confirm fault before I stir the pot.. ;)

Maybe it is because I live in Kweebeck, but what does her insurance have to do with you getting paid for the repair of your bike and replacement of any damaged riding gear? Isn't that what your insurance is for? They pay and THEY try to get it back from her insurance?

 
Damn dude!

And I just saw it TODAY !!

Brian ... what Gregory said, and glad it's working out OK for you.

Make 'em buy you a louder horn, too. :rolleyes:

 
==Thought it time for an update ==

My bike was all back together this last Wednesday, the service manager took it for a ride.... he said it felt good.................

.

.

.

.

Then he dismounted and was giving it the once over look, thought the right side mirror was ... not level... after two other opinions, it was deemed the bracket on that

side was damaged and needs replacing.

SOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo the part is due here on Monday.

Getting closer..........

................................................. lets see.......... one down ........ four up......... lean into the corners....... :dribble:

B

 
Let's think about this....100% of all collisions where the bike goes over result in a bent front fairing stay...and they didn't think about it until now?

Er...uhm...check the rear sub-frame.

At this rate you MIGHT have it back for WFO.

heh-heh-heh-heh-heh ;)

................................................. lets see.......... one down ........ four up......... lean into the corners....... :dribble:
Let's not forget:

right foot = rear brake

left foot = shifter

left hand lever = clutch

right hand lever = front brake

Uhmmmm...maybe you should take the BRC before saddling up. :)
