I was really hoping that I'd never have to post here for either me or someone else, but it happened at 3:00pm Sun, 24 Aug 08.  A lady turned left right in front of me and I had no where to go but into her.  Good news is I walked away without a broken bone or a concussion.  I know the bike can be fixed or replaced, but it kinda puts a damper on this year's riding.

Uggggg! Glad you are ok....crashing sucks the big hattchie.  Especially on the best looking bike the company has built since 1935...Shiiite! 

How fast were you going??

Glad you walked away... That's the important part.

Sorry about the scooter, but you are right it can be fixed.  One good thing, you now have an opportunity to do a few things different - add some bling or replace a few parts with other parts you will like better

Glad your OK and the bike can always be repaired and enhanced!! You in turn can't be but thank God you are ok!!

[07_Flhrse3]

Thanks for all the kind words.  Luckily I was only going 35 mph at the time of the crash and she was driving a hyundi which absorbed alot of the crash.  This lady was amazing, she never even asked if I was ok and I found out today that she did not have insurance.  I called the police officer who wrote her a citation at the scene for failure to yield and told him I'd be happy to appear in court with him if she chooses to fight the ticket.  She wanted to know why I didn't get a ticket too.  You really can't fix stupid....can you.

I've been in the insurance business for over 20 years... It always amazes me how often my clients are hit by idiots that don't have insurance.  Don't know about other states, but here in Oklahoma we really need our state legislature to pass laws that enforce our "mandatory" liability insurance laws.  The jerks that drive around without liability insurance need to be locked up!

You are right... You can't fix Stupid.

got hit my a carload of Haitians once...  Sherrif pulls up and say "oh man, you f$%ked up", ended up getting sued, like the NEXT DAY. 

Seems they hit you to get in a legal hold and they cannot be deported! 

Told me they get into accidents on purpose!

Yes, you have to have proof of insurance to register a vehicle and to buy a tag every year, but some folks go out and buy insurance by paying for the first month and then let the coverage lapse.

Here in Oklahoma word is that we will someday have a "real-time" data base that law enforcement can check to verify that auto insurance is valid.... not yet though.

I read on here some words of wisdom: Genius vs. Stupidity = genius has limits and stupidity does not

Glad your OKAY... fix up your scoot better than before.

we dont have that problem here in switzerland, if u dont pay ur insurance, the insurance company informs the police who come to ur address and take off the vehicle number plate.
