And the best part is you were able to ride your bike home while the SUV had to be towed.....
Marcus Wolfe
No, but that would have been awesome.......

Glad you're alright Wolfman. No shock setting in or anything?
Got hit one New Years Eve, in Portland Oregon, by a cross town city bus, at full speed, after my dad turned wrong way into a one way street. Fortunately we were in a black '61 Chrysler New Yorker batmobile. Those fins cut that sucker to shreds! Bus passengers injured: 6. Us : walked away, though shaking. Happy days!
Marcus Wolfe
Thing is, I'm not even injured enough to sue the guy for hitting me....just a cut on my finger and a scrape on my hand.

Can't say the same for my Bike. It'll be out of commission for a few days........

Where do you live?

I worked in car insurance adjusting claims for like 8 years. If he is at fault then you probably have some money coming to you. Without having to sue.
It is called pain and suffering...unless your location prohibits it.
Marcus Wolfe
I live in Canada, where lawyers generally aren't commission.

Besides, although he is clearly at fault, suing is based on visible damage.

With insurance here you dont have to sue to recovery pain and suffering. Did you have a cut?

I would at least look into it if you are interested. I assume this guy turned it into his insurance. You could have you parents talk to the auto adjuster. (is your bike messed up?)

Just throwing it out there for ya.

Glad you are OK even if I would like to whip your butt sometimes! smile.gif
I joke of course.
Marcus Wolfe
I have no idea how it works.

I wonder if i could just scare him into giving me a $6,000 out of court settlement.....

You are a minor. YOU won't get jack crap.

Nobody's said anything about it, but due to his injuries, is Marcus dead yet ?

Jeez, I feel old. When I was a kid, we didn't have helmets and all that safety kak. We took our lives into our own hands, riding double...on the bar between the seat and the handle bars, on the back fender carrier, on the handle bars, sometimes we rode triple, we also stood up on the seat, doing wheelies before bikes were made for it, rode as far as possible without touching the handgrips.
We clipped playing cards to the fender supports to make as much noise as possible and to warn people to get out of our way. We rode on the sidewalks because the streets were reserved for automobiles.
Helmets....feh...we didn't need no stinkin' helmets...

If it was me I'd have thrown the guy with the bike. But then again that would screw any claims I might have made from him...
