    Dude, that totally sucks. As a fellow rider, I know how dangerous the streets and highways can be with all the cagers out there.

    The bike can be replaced and us, not so much. Glad to hear that you are relatively unscathed and are able to post about it.

    I am glad that your relatively OK. I not a fan of being able to drive without an adult in the car before your 18 for many reason. I know there's a lot of asshole adult drivers too but young people tend to lack the fear factor especially boys. Again I am sure any one could raise the argument 18 doesn't make you an adult but it truly holds you responsible by law. Once you turn 18 your beginning to see how your parents are not required to do as much as they once were so it might make the person a tad more responsible. I guess there no sure fire answer.
    Oh by the way, it did not sound weird, what was really weird is how well you sounded and spelled! It must be the drugs....

    Time spent sliding down the pavement always feels like an eternity. Wishes for a speedy recovery.

    What were you riding? the Vulacan you posted up a while back?

    Bike can be replaced , you can't.

    Thank God you are alive! I hope you don't have any permanent trouble because of the accident. Hmmmmm heavy drugs... and cigars. I wonder if that is a good combination? Hope you feel better soon. Roger.
    Just another day at the office!

    Glad to hear you made it though (relatively) ok. When you go get a new helmet, don't throw the old one away. Hang it up in the garage and be thankful you had the sense to strap on the brainbucket.
    Get that knee healthy and you'll be kicking ass again in no time.

    Wow Kev, glad to read you're safe. I can't imagine how scary it was while you were flipping. Godspeed brother.

    It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be -- glad that f@cking moron didn't kill you.

    Find yourself a good attorney, and my best on speedy recovery.

    Broken bones are usually good for five figure settlements.

    What the fock was this asshole thinking hit and run? I don't know about Nawth Carolina but even in liberal-a$$ed Connecticut, that douchebag is lookin' at prison time.

    I guess now's not a good time to ask you to help me change the main circuit breaker in the meter box.

    The fuggen thing keeps tripping and I have to fight like hell with it to get the power in the house to come back on. We had record heat here of 102 today and a Nawth Carolina dew point of SEVENTY EIGHT, we never get that here. So as my central A/C is cooling the house down BANG goes the circuit breaker.

    Wow! Glad to hear that you are relatively OK!

    I can't believe that the kid drove off, that's just stupid. I hope they throw him in jail.

    I am healing decent,have 2 MRI's Thursday . I for the knee and 1 for my shoulder.I am going to talk to the adjuster about settling on my bike tomorrow. I am in no mood to hear a low ball offer when their client destroyed my bike while committing a felony by leaving me for dead. I am prepared for thermonuclear war if need be
