Going nuts!

After three months I was ready to ride. My dealer misappropriated the money I gave them to fix my bike because they were in financial trouble. I wrecked May 29 and didn't get my bike back until a week before Christmas. I thought I would go nuts or to jail as I was getting very belligerent in the dealership. It really sucks after going through all the pain of a wreck and recovery, you get screwed by some lousy dealer. I was so happy to see them go out of business a month after I got my bike back.

You think that was funny you should have seen the ER doc face when I tried explaining my injury. Years back when I was younger and dumber I was rollerblading and fishing at the same time. Hit an acorn. And biffed. Separated on shoulder. Pulled the ligaments in it and had a concussion. Not a proud moment. Lol.

F&S. The people who took it over (Buckeye) seem to be doing a good job.

I feel your pain. It's only been 2-1/2 weeks since my accident and I'm going stir crazy. I'm going nuts on the PT trying to get myself back into riding shape as soon as possible, but I've still got these stupid casts on my hands.
Keep the faith man, you're closer to it than I am.

It's been almost 3 months now since the accident. I have been going through physical therapy and at the moment am about 85% recovered. I was lucky I did't get seriously injured or worse.
My wife bought me a new bell for the new bike. When I get to go and get it is still undetermined because I still need to settle. While she was at the dealership she was talking with the apparel lady and she told about a few weeks prior to my accident her and her husband were out riding when this kid in a Camero pulled from behind another car and she watched her husband get hit head on at about 70 MPH. He is still alive but really messed up and will likely never ride again. So I do know how lucky I am.
BUT!!! It is still driving me nuts that I can't ride! My lawyer says that I have to get back to 100% or as close as possible before we will settle. We have had some pretty decent riding days that I have missed out on because my bike is gone. The whole thing sucks to nth level.
I want my bike back!

You can still ride...
You can get another bike if your finances permit..
You can hold off on settling for 2 years on your injury...
So what's holding you back?
I don't get it?
I need the settlement so that I can buy a new/er bike. I will not finance I will pay cash.
