Well, I finally got the all clear from my doc - knees are finally back in shape, no open wounds. I'll have some nice battle scars, but that's about it. I can finally bend my right knee all the way back again too. One last visit to the neurologist for a follow up and I should be done. Picked...

Still don't remember it. I drove past the area I went down in for the first time the other day...didn't even bring back so much as a flicker. Started PT today...4 weeks until I can ride again. Hopefully the knees and legs have the strength for it! Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

I'm chomping at the bit. It kills me seeing all the bikes on HOV when im stuck in traffic. My goal is to be back on 2 wheels the first week of Sept. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

Possibly. I was told that I wasn't tailgating or anything, so that at least helps. The person that was behind me had no idea why the cars in front of me stopped, there was no good reason (or so I'm told).

Totaled and the insurance company already cut the check. I was surprised though until I saw the rear end of it. I wonder if that's where it landed. The dealer said they were at $3400 in parts not including labor. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the rear subframe got bent...

Thats from the towing company taping their tag on I think...definitely not me haha. Tires were Road 2's, and let me tell you, it's like driving with glue between you and the road, they're that good. I think it was in the 80s when I went down, was May 31st. I have no idea what actually...

I've decided against the Ninja...I'm about 175lbs and it doesn't feel right, weight wise, compared to the CBR. Plus I don't know that I need a literbike, esp since my insurance is probably going to go up from the accident. I still want to take a look at the BMW, but I have a feeling it might be...

Well, so far I'm leaning towards a CBR600rr ABS. I checked one out and I like the weight and feel, and I want ABS. will check out the BMW next time I'm near the dealer. The FJ was too big a bike though and the Ninja 1000 didn't feel as good as the CBR. Its going to be interesting going to a true...

I had maybe a thousand miles on my road 2s when I totaled my 06 in May. Great tires, much better than the Qualifiers that were on out when I bought it. Killed me to lose the tires when they were so new. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

I wound up with a concussion when I laid mine down 2 weeks ago in a Shoei RF1100, but was still conscious. Replaced it with a Shoei Qwest. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

I appreciate tthe warning - I've never ridden over 600cc so I'm a little leery. I like the FJR for its seat and ride height, my wife is a fan of the backseat as well. I def think I'm going for something with linked ABS though, I'm in no mood for another off. I'll take a look at the BMW too...

I'm thinking aboutrna replacement already since use it as a commuter. Might get an FJR, also been looking at the ninja 1000, I like how it feels. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

I take hov to the pentagon then hit the GW to get to McLean..I've seen some crazy things. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

Oh no, I was awake and apparently very entertaining when they took me to the hospital and in the trauma center. I just remember none of it lol. At least I wasn't combative, they said alot of their riders are when they come in. I wqs wearing a fieldsheer jacket. Good stuff. Sent from my Galaxy...

I'll admit it was a mistake, one I won't make again. I'll get riding jeans at the minimum next time around. I'm keeping my helmet for posterity though. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

I heard about that one...its been bad this season. We had 2 riders die on the same road I think last month...might've been April. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

Helmet, gloves, textile jacket armored on the shoulders and elbows, jeans (the only mistake), and a pair of high hiking boots that protected me fairly well...a little rash where the foot attaches. When I start replacing gear, I'll probably go with riding pants this time around. Will get the...

No clue. I'm told traffic in front of me stopped fast. The lady that was behind me says I was doing around 50, nothing stupid. I've heard I went over the guardrail, but I have no clue. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7.7 using Tapatalk 2

Havent posted much lately but figured I'd drop a line...totaled the fizzer last thursday. Witnesses say I locked the front wheel trying to stop on 395 and went over the handlebars and the bike landed on top of me...I don't remember anything between lunchtime Thursday and waking up in the...

Ahh bless you - you may well have just saved me from having to hack the bike. The airbox was giving me fits because I couldn't see all the attach points. Will wait until it cools down a bit to take everything apart again (we're supposed to be kissing close to a hundred this week) and see how it...
