Glad you survived. I had a bad one 19 weeks ago and would not be here if not for my helmet. Finally back to work 3 weeks ago. Broken hip and pelvis. Hope that they total your bike. My dealer has had mine for 18 weeks and they are still waiting on painted parts.

Glad your still around. I myself went head to head with this truck 12 weeks ago. I will be learning to walk again in 2 weeks. I will ride again, just on something with ABS.

It's a F350, I bent the frame on that truck with my bike. I think I've earned bragging rights for this one. lol

Sorry to hear about your crash and resulting injuries! Good to hear that the guy had ins especially since he was drunk. Prayers for a quick and complete recovery

Glad you're able to post about it...could have been much worse. I agree with KBFX, you probably need to lawyer up. You may have some long term health issues, and it would suck to have to shoulder that burden because of someone else's poor decisions.

Wow. That's insane. Best of luck to you after that one.
