Ok amybe embarrased was the wron term to use but they asked me a bunch of questions about damage to her car when clearly the only damage was her mirror. She has a primered hood and some older damage so i think she was trying to claim it as new. They did admit fault on her behalf instantly and pay for every minor scratch on my bike. In hindsight i should have just kept the cash (3,900) and did some mod's, there was no real damage other than two small paint chips on the faring and tank that were unnoticable unless I showed you. So now I have a faring and tank sitting in my garage.

Had a kid and his mom driving behind my pops and I on a freshly rained on road. He was ok in the straight but was way to close when we slowed for corners. At the next light I got off my bike and started to walk up to tell him to drop back a little on the corners so he doesn't kill someone if they go down. All of a sudden I hear his mom from the other side of the car yell "GO GO GO TURN AROUND AND GO!!! As he turned and floored it I just laughed and walked back to see my dad almost falling off his bike from laughing.

I used to be that's 99%. Never cut a biker off(that I know of). Then I got a bike... Now? I double and triple check my mirrors and blind spot before moving over.
Side note. I love it when they cut you off and flip you the bird when you honk. Sig butts I love those too
