This is just another reason why I carry a 357 mag when I ride. If I am seriously injured when that someone runs the red light and hits me. I hope I can get to my gun and jester to the driver to come closer and listen to my last dying words and shoot the mother fu*ker in the head.

You know, I was thinking that, but the guy that hit me has already gave the stealer his cc# and instructed them to give me whatever I want as far as repairing it. Plus I don't think the ole' lady is gonna like me bringing yet another bike home to add to the 4 I have.

Wow...amazing that you could even stand-up after that type of impact. Not to say your prior accident was a blessing (pin/rod in leg), but I bet it helped keep your leg intact/stable. Heal well & the bike will get fixed - glad you're OK.

I'm glad you weren't hurt worse from this. Looking at the pic of your bike got me thinking, how much worse do you think you would have been hurt without the crash bar to take some of the impact?

It is amazing that you are up and walking, and it is great that he is willing to open his card to fix your bike, but the medical bills aren't going to be paid by the dealership. What is his plan for that? I would have the dealership check the neck of your bike... it may not look bent but to bend the front forks and destroy your crash bar it might be cracked so you may have to use that CC to get a new bike... I had a girl friend that hit a stone wall (MUCH slower) with her crash bar and cracked the frame in 2 places. No one else at the scene could see anything wrong with the bike (save the crash bar). And she rode it home at 70+ mph with a cracked neck.
