My Poor Duc. She didn't Deserve This.

That's great. 

I thought you were already here, i thought you flew in last Monday. 

The first warm day of Spring today, 27deg C. It might be a HOT Summer.

Wow. glad your okay and still able to ride.  Sucks that stupid people drive stupidly.  Ever get pics of the bike?

I know this is a very old thread. I'm reviving it anyway.

I am STILL in a battle with insurance. 

It actually took me this long to get a hold of the lady's insurance company. Turns out that she is actuall denying doing anything wrong. She is claiming that she was actually in the left lane (there were 2 lanes in our direction of travel) and that she used her indicator to turn left. 

She also claims that I crossed the center line to pass her on the left. She in disputing the illegal u-turn ticket (court in march). I now have to wait until then to see if I can settle or if I have to sue the pregnant dog.

I try not to use the word hate too much. There are many people I dislike intensely. But I absolutey hate hate hate this girl.

Thanks DML for the space to vent. I haven't been on a bike since the accident in August and it's killing me.



ps. before anyone asks - I don't know of any witnesses as my brain was switched off for about 5 hours after impact.

What a hassle, but tell us how your are doing, your injuries. 

Is your insurance waiting to see how this thing turns out in court?

You could try posting a notice on telephone poles near the accident, maybe someone witnessed it.

What a pregnant dog.

At least the girl that rear ended me told the cops she fell asleep and she told the judge the same thing. I can't believe the other person is trying to weasel out of this, man some day karma is going to put a big foot up her ass. I really hope things turn out well for you, these idiots on the road make me want to just forget riding next season.

A letter from a lawyer to your insurance company might speed things up.  Insurance companies like to hold onto money for as long as possible.

So were in Canada do
you live, cause I never want to drive in the same town as this bad lady driver.

I hate people that do not take responsibility for their actions.

It sucks.

Sorry Bud.

Hello form Ktown, can't wait for the snow to go!!

This might be hard to do since SKOM lives in Adelaide now.  If you remember..from the beginning of the thread..the accident happened in Canada right before he moved down to AUS.

How frustrating!!

Yes Very...  You the roads here look like alot of fun.



I've tried getting a lawyer but it's been tough when I can't meet with them in person. Some good advice has been provided though. In light of these new developements, maybe it would be best for me to call around again.

The concussion is still bothering me. Every now and then I'll  get a massive headache and dizzy spells etc... The shoulder is still a bit sore and I am pretty sure the accident all but finished off my right leg (read knee and ankle pain forever) That said I still consider myself lucky.  Many people have had much worse injuries from far less severe accidents.

FWIW - I was in Edmonton at the time of the accident. Drivers there suck - hard. Although I am starting to to get the impression that this is the case in most cities.

Thanks again for the outlet. 

p.s. I hate liars.
