i saw someone approaching too fast when i was stopped at a stoplight the other day, i moved out of the way just in time for them to slam on thier brakes and come within one inch of hitting the guy that i was just behind, that would have been me all squarshed up. i dont get why people dont notice bikes in general.

Lucky break. That could have been bad.

People are morons. That's all there is to it.

Welp, insurance is paying up... just got the check. I'm sure Dairyland has screwed people, but so have most insurance companies. At least this is proof that there is a chance you won't get screwed!  :o

I think I have come to a decision though, although nothing is ever set in stone. Right now it's not financially and physically viable to get another bike (just got a 68 camaro that I am working on... requires money and garage space... and just had to pay an assload of taxes... could have bought that new GT 1000 with my taxes) but the plan for the future as I see it now, is to wait a couple months and get the GT 1000 or maybe a Sport Classic (who knows, maybe an S4R?) and only ride on weekends and on group rides, never in the city again, especially commuting or during rush hour.

So this isn't the last of me, but I'm going to have a little break for now. It was nice knowing you guys and I had fun and learned some good stuff here. I'll hang around and pop in every once and a while, and I'll get in touch with you San Antonio folk when the time comes. Until then peace out and keep the rubber side down!
