RE: Biatch wrecked my new bike
The only reason cell phones are not banned everywhere, while driving a vehicle, is the sleazy politician's get paid off by the cell phone lobbyists. I read where the percentage of accidents directly caused by morons on cell phones is considerably greater then recorded, because no one admits that they were using a cell phone, when they cause an accident. If someone in a cage is driving erratically while using a cell phone, I don't think it is any different than them pointing a gun at me. I should be able to take them out in self defense.

RE: Biatch wrecked my new bike
DAMN!!..that sucks. Glad you came thru it though.
Thats why at red lights, when possible, I'll cut up to the front and sit there rather than sit behind a car, "last in line"...eliminates the idiots who just don't see you, let alone when they're on the cellphone/drunk/dealing with kids in the backseat/fixing their makeup/changing radio stations/etc.
Especially now with everyone racing around to get ready for the holidays.
Sue her azz and good luck getting your scoot fixed.!

RE: Biatch wrecked my new bike
Sorry to hear your bad experience and I wish you a full and speedy recovery.
If this person gets off with a slap on the wrists they'll do it again and next time may kill someone, wherasif she is made to suffer some pain (financial) she is less likely to do it and it will act as a warning to her friends / associates that using a cell phone whilst driving isn't worth it. By taking strong legal action you could be saving a life or lives, even hers.
I hope this all works outfine for you; that you recover quickly and end up better off in some way for this bad experience.

Good your not in worse shape than you are, and the bike can be fixed. Real sorry to hear this. Like the rest said, SUE HER AZZ OFF.
I really wish they would ban cell phone use while driving.

Gee, that sucks. In Oklahoma you have to have a minimum of $10,000 coverage for injuries to others. I carry $500,000 for such coverage plus an umbrella for an additional4 million.
ORIGINAL: Cognizant
My bike is an 06 FXST.
The Trooper who responded to the scene wrote her a ticket, which she surely deserves.
She has insurance but WITHOUT any medical coverage (it's not mandatory in Florida)so all they will fix is my bike. I have to fall back on my own insurance for the medical stuff and the way my policy was written I'm only covered for $500 for this particular type of injury, guess that's my fault for being ignorant.
She'sa working mom (imageing coordinator at a local hospital)with twosmall children. If I tried to sue her I expect I'd have to finance the attorney myself, and probably would end up in the same boat as Mikey 1450 did, but I will definatly talk to an attorney about this. Hell, I just had surgery on my neck six weeks ago, so they're scheduling me for an MRI because they saw something on the xray that concerned them. I can't really tell what's going on in my neck right now because every muscle connected to it issopainful and inflamed.

Hate those morons on the cell phone. Most ignore the handsfree requirments. I love the ones who are using a speakerphone to meet the letter of the law and holding it an inch in front of their mouth. DUH!! I use my phone in the car, but always with a bluetooth headset so that I have both hands. I've learned to treat it no different than having a conversation with someone in the car - always look ahead, etc. And being a biker has made me more aware of cars and bikes..

RE: Biatch wrecked my new bike
What if she were the first person in line at a light where there was a crosswalk and she hit a child crossing the street? Better yet, what if she goes on to do that in the future and you find out about it? Could you live with yourself knowing you didn't do all you could to teach her a lesson?
