just heard from the doctor on the results of my xrays. My knees look ok but there is an abnormality in my lower back (possible fracture in the t12 vertebrae). I'm sitting in the waiting room at the hospital waiting to get an MRI on my lower back. I'll let you know what happens! Should I start...

Consider it payment for the pizza and soda I ditched out of paying for with you and your girl :) hahaha

Thanks for the well wishes guys! Love the community here and while I'll be sticking around, I'm sure I won't be checking it multiple times a day :) Stumbles06 - Another bike is most definitely on the wishlist! I just need to convince the girlfriend that it will be okay, and need to work out...

An update for you guys... My lower back and left knee are still sore, but I got Xrays yesterday and will hear about them tomorrow. I got a refill on the Vicodin and muscle relaxers, so I am feeling a-okay today! The drivers insurance (AAA) has taken full responsibility for the accident, which I...

I wouldn't recommend trimming the peg feelers either. They are there for a reason and you should only take them off when you really need to (ie the track, when you are dragging a knee and need more lean angle). Also, get some sliders! Would have made a scuff on the slider instead of a scuff on...

I was stung by a bee on the back of my neck, then a few minutes later i felt it on my back as well, while I was in the Malibu canyons. Imagine what all of these people thought when they passed me jumping off my bike and taking all my gear and clothes off to get that thing out of there! BTW --...

Where do you get this magical lawyer for $50? Do you do them favors with helicopter rides when they're late to a court date? :)

Made me LOL

Glad to hear you're alright! I had my first down last week and it wasn't fun, but it looks like you have the right attitude!

New desktop backgrounds!

I'll have the adjusters sheet to show all of the damage soon. It looks like ~$1000 of it will be for the TCP lower fairings, Puig windscreen and the frame sliders. So $2200 of actual damage to the bike. I'll let you guys know if I decide to sell it as-is. I'll post here as well as in the...

So what do you guys think of this idea. The insurance will cut me a check for the damage amount, and I could sell the bike as-is with the damage. Do you think someone would be interested in buying the bike? It is pretty much *perfect* for a naked conversion, as most of the damage is on the...

I'll be moving back in the middle of winter, so I'd have to pay shipping + storage, and I don't think I could go from riding in SoCal where some of the best rides in the country are 15 minutes away back to Chicago where you travel an hour through traffic to get to 1 road that has 3 turns... then...

Just heard back from the adjuster. I guess it's not totalled... he came up with $3300 of damage and the bike is totalled at $3900. It probably would have been a good thing for the bike to be totalled. I was planning on selling it in the next week or 2 anyways since I have to move back to the...

I tried out the Corbin seat on the Hebrew Hammers bike and it was very slippery. Would be great for sliding around the twisties!

No news on the orthodontist. The adjuster came out this morning and said that the bike will probably be totalled. The bike is worth $5100, and he has $3900 to "play with" to fix everything on the bike. He doesn't think that can happen. With all of the plastics destroyed and the small scratches...

Oh I didn't hear back from the Orthodontist office. Looks like I'll be on the phone tomorrow and Monday trying to get the witness information...

I'll have to see how the situation with my work project out here pans out. My current contract is up on October 18th, and I need to have the bike gone by then. If I get "extended" again for a while, I'll try and buy the bike back and have a lot of fun with it (naked for sure!). I'm not sure...

I just contacted the Orthodontist to hopefully get in touch with the guy that witnessed the accident. I wasn't sure if they would give me his information or anything, but the guy on the phone is a fellow biker (yes!) and thinks he knows who the witness was. He's contacting him now to see if it's...

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Makes me feel better about the whole situation :) Or maybe that's the Viciodin and muscle relaxers.... :Flash:
