Glad you are okay. We just got my wifes 08 SG out of the shop because a litttle female twit (19 year old) slammed her brakes on, no turn signal and caused my wife to crash. The little twit fled the scene of the accident and we still have not located her. I saw the entire accident unfold.

If I have said it once I said it a hundred times that young girls are the main cause of bikers deaths and they cause the majority of all accidents. They need to have to pass the drivers license test twice and complete drivers ed courses at least three times before they are allowed to get behind the wheel.

They are always texting and multitasking while driving. They have made me very prejudice. I have lost three close friends due to young girls pulling out in front of them while they were on their bikes, all three died. Two of the damn twits didn't even get a ticket. Go figure!!!!

We have a biker lawyer advertising on TV in our area and the reason he started, because he was hit himself on his bike and cops did nada, just like with OJ.....so civil court is a good option.

Nick@Nite,

You stated that "most cops will give the cager the break, not the biker".

I can't agree with that. It's been my experience that most officers are a bit more protective of riders. They have fellow officers who ride police motorcycles on duty and many officers ride their personal scoots off-duty.

Glad you're okay. Let me add to everyone else saying "GET A LAWYER!!!" The bastards at the insurance company will screw you to the wall if they get the chance. The attorney is worth it.

Glad you are ok. Obviously the bike can be fixed or replaced. This chit is getting real old real fast. Something needs to be done about this cell phone craze. Everybody has one. Hell you see young kids with cell phones glued to their ears or texting. Nothing like getting them into the mentality at a young age.

Was she cute?

J/K, yep chicks on phones are the most dangerous, then young boys, blue hairs, chicks, drunk men, undrunk men, in that order. Glad you are still with us, sue the hell out of her, if for nothing else just to teach her a frikken lesson, cant believe she did not get a ticket.
