make the beast with two backs SKOM!

WTF are you doing!

Go and wrap yourself in cotton wool and sit on the couch and drink beer, you won't have medical benefits when you get here.  :-\

Heal quick, your new country needs you.  [thumbsup]

Glad to hear you came out in one piece....It seems like every time I get on this forum, there is another post about an innocent rider getting smashed by a cager who is paying zero attention and doing illegal ass shit.  Makes my blood boil.  Good luck with a speedy recovery, hope you get back out there soon!

Sorry to hear of this SKUM.   Heal quickly and hope the lady gets what she deserves.  [bacon] [bacon]

Yeah she definitely should pay for what she did to you and your bike.  Try to get a lawyer.  You might want to try to remember what street it was because if you write on the report that you don't know where the incident happened she might try to use that against you way later on.  Most importantly don't take it for granted that you escaped.  Sorry about your bike mine got messed up also a while back.  Don't worry about it though.  Just take your time and get the right parts and in no time you'll be back. Good luck.

Jebus, mang! How many mirrors did you break and when is the 7 years up?

Seriously, tho, glad to hear you're in one piece and mobile.

Don't forget to stop by her house on your way to the airport before you leave for OZ. Leave her a present.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Good luck on your healing man.  Remember that even as the pain subsides, you may be with permanent injuries down the road that crop up later, and even mental problems like memory loss.  My point is make it very much certain who was at fault for this in as much record keeping as possible.

Also I'd get a lawyer BEFORE you make the police statement, especially since you're having trouble remembering things.  Don't want to leave any holes in there that her defense can poke at.  

Sounds like this is going to be very problematic timing with your upcoming move, with regards to medical care and legal issues.  Hope it all works out for you!!  And I hope you can squeeze everything out of that lady as possible because she needs to learn to be responsible for herself and her actions, and respect the barreling death machine she is piloting.

Doh!  Good luck on your recovery!  Hope everything turns out well for you.

Aw crap!  Terrible to hear, so *very* glad you're up and around, terrifying story.
Lawyer up and sign nothing.  Take your meds and take it easy on yourself; let the insurance machine handle the headaches as much as you can.
Wishing you well: Heal heal heal!

ARGH!!  D*mn SKOM!!  Good to hear that you're alive to go on your new adventure.  Wrote down EVERYTHING you remember NOW!!  This may put a damper on your AUS plans..especially if you have to take this b*tch to court!!  I spent the last 4 years dealing with insurance companies and lawyers.  [roll] >:( [bang]

This sucks!!  BTW..get ready for AUS Ducati prices!!  Just warning you!!   :-[  I'd get a Supermoto down there.  Actually, if you do eventually get a Duc, the Melbourne area has a mechanic who does the work cheap!!    [thumbsup]

don't worry about the bike. think of yourself as a fighter pilot who had to eject over enemy territory. you made it out and soon enough there will be another f/a 18 waiting for you.
