I'm in agreement with skratch on this.

Glad you and the wife are not worse than you are, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

Glad it wasn't any worse for you and the wife. Hope you both heal fast and get right back out there.

 

Most important both of you will ride again...that's nasty. Get well soon and get right back on that horse!

 

Glad you both came out talking about it. Hope you heal quick and get a fair deal from her insurance company.

 

I was involved in a Motorcycle accident along with my friend..Last month.He lost his life, and i survived. I had seen the whole thing unfold before my eyes......both bikes were totaled, I sustained 4 bruised Ribs, a light concussion and a foot broken in 3 places..all caused by a motorist in a car crossing a double yellow line and hitting my friend head-on. I had struck my friends bike as it was sent towards me,unable too avoid it. it was a brutal accident. I'm glad to hear that you & your wife will heal.
Seems to me there is a bigger problem of cagers not paying attention even more so, than in the past..I believe the laws need to change in accidents where driver inattention is dealt with a little more severely, then again i'm still abit pissed and upset about the whole thing. I'm still in a cast at this point

 

glad to hear that your wife ended up OK.
very glad to hear that you didn't end up worse off.
the more I hear these stories, the more I'm glad I put on an engine guard, even if they seem "uncool" to some. they seems to help in more ways than one.
and dammit, I HATE KID DRIVERS!!

 

I worked as a Road Supervisor back in college and did accident reports for the local Transit system. You'd be amazed at the number of people that rear ended 11 ft tall, 8 ft wide silver with yellow and blue striped passenger buses and admitted that they didn't see the bus!

Sounds like that girl may have looked right at you, ( or thought she did,) and because she was thinking about something else she still never really saw you and just proceeded on.

I'm not a lawyer/trial happy person, but with the physical injuries along with the totaled bike, a lawyer might be the smart way to go.

 

Man, that sounds exactly like what happened to one of my students' dad. Some 16 year old girl who had her license for all of two weeks ran a stop sign and hit him hard. Sadly, he ended up losing the leg, but survived the crash. I'm glad to hear that you and your wife are going to be OK. Heal up and get back out there.

 

I guess it is true Our hevenley Father works in mysteryous ways.
Thanks be to Him your wife and you are alive to to tell of his Grase.

 

Did they call the bike totaled? Im so glad your OK. Ok as for the bike, my brother had a worse deal with his UC, and they ended up fixing it to the tune of 3 months wait in the shop for all the parts. Was someplace in the 7-8k range for parts alone. Guess it depends on the bike or the Ins company. Because its an HD theres a very good bet it would be fixed, then again, the Ins companycan part it out or sell it wholesale, hell ive seen em do that and have a regular title to go with it.

Guess it all depends.
