here are a couple pictures.. mind you that the suv involved is totaled..the fj is a tank! It does look worse in person, my old iPhone 3gs isn't a very good camera. the frame is bent and the case is cracked




I had saddlebags on that saved the tail the mufflers were the only part of the rear that looked damaged

Damn.... That SUV must have moving fast. Pretty much did the bike in. How badly was the case cracked ? Being snoopy here but is the SUV's insurance going to cover you ?  Continue healing up and keep looking forward. The bike is replaceable.

Well, technically the SUV pulled out in front of me making a left turn so she wasn't going fast. I on te other hand was going 40 mph and only had about 15 ft to react. She pulled out from in front of a bus so she didn't see me as I didn't see her. Her insurance should cover it considering it was her fault, she was even cited for failing to yield to right of way and careless driving, but at this point they haven't admited fault yet, so I am hiring a lawyer. I have been out of work for over 2 weeks and have accumulated probably around $10,000 in medical bills. Apparently it's law to have personal injury protection at a minimum of $15,000 for automobiles, but not for motorcycles here in Oregon, so all I have with progressive is $1,000 medical. Something I think everyone should look into especially if you don't have health insurance ( I don't). Anyways, I'm just trying to rest up and make the best, sucks though because today is me and the woman's 4 year anniversary and I have $20 to my name. She is really wonderful and has been taking care of me so it sucks I can't even take her to dinner. there is sort of a bright side though, I have Aflacs short term disability insurance so hopefully I will be getting paid soon.

The ACA goons will be arriving soon to rectify (rectumfy?) that condition.  But don't worry, if you like your old insurance, you can keep it.

Was this a case of the car pulling away from the side of the curb, or was it a case of driver turning left from a side street cutting across your path?  Either way, she would be in the wrong.  Also, what part of town did this happen?

Sorry, in a moment of weakness I posted a stupid political comment.  Please pretend it's not there and we can move on.

Haha no need to apologize, I legitimately have no idea what it meant!

I don't know what that meant and I feel violated....

Despite being a good guy, the Monkey-man-Mark is incapable of escaping the fact that he is absolutely surrounded by lefties, living firmly in the middle of the 'left-coast'.  Politically therefore, 85% of what he opines must be taken with considerably more than a grain of salt.

I was with you Hooligan, and I say never apologize about being 'right'.  By way of example I won't apologize for pointing out the absurdity, for instants, that the right was blamed and called evil, and compared to terrorists etc, for shutting down the government.  ...This is despite the 100 or so appropriations bills they offered to re-open the most important parts of government.  Note that the left absolutely refused to allow those bills through -why? -because they would lose their leverage!  THINK about it. 

**The left was perfectly willing, in fact insistent on leaving the painful parts of the shut down in place, simply to keep their advantage over the right, all the while Obama was saying publicly, in no uncertain terms, that he 'would not negotiate' -essentially saying the he was willing to endure the painful shut down to prevent the ACA from being delayed by a year.  The left is AT LEAST 50% responsible for the pain and expense of the shut down.

Now, I'm not one to cry over spilled milk, tactically they 'won' the battle of the bully pulpit, someone has to, and it can't always your side -whatever.  But I bring it up just now because el presidente just essentially conceded the 1 year point, which he was so very amendment against just a month ago.  Seems to me, when they simply HAD to know there was going to be problems. It does not reflect well on our leaders, neither side, but the right was well, more right than the left on this.  I hope folks remember this come 2014 and 2016.

Respectfully Dan, the Right couldn't win a free giveaway with the current status of the party...  I'm ex-military and lean as Right as I can traditionally, but they sure aren't representing my interests anymore.  I'll be amazed if they can get their shit together to mount a serious campaign by '16 and '14 will be a disaster for them.

In general our gov't has lost touch with the needs of the country and no longer represent the people...  That's what started the country in the first place and we're just begging for a reboot IMHO.
