If you stare at something long enough, eventually your peripheral vision kicks in. Gotta go stare at it some more.

glad you are ok. and where was the teddy bear at ?

[rmartin]

That sucks, I am always afraid someone is going to do that. I try to watch there actions closely before I make a move.

Those round abouts are supposed to be safer. I have never felt that way. They claim cheaper, but I have read some on the costs of making them. I saw one in AZ, and it is not big enough for semi's to get around it, and there are tire marks all over the center section where they cold not make the turn.

I hate those round abouts.

Glad you came out ok, I sure like the teddy bear some one posted. Wish my wife looked like theat teddy bear holder!

Hello Viirin,

I was rereading your original post and I just wanted to ask if the foot and elbow are healing OK. I hope they are, and I was also a little bit curious to see if you bought yourself a new bike. If you did , tell us about it, show some pics.

[Viirin]

Ha yeah i'm all healed up no with no problems... except that i'm still driving a cage from A to B because my local "mechanic" (and i use the term loosely) still hasn't managed to get in a pair of handlebars for my bike - the scuff marks have damaged the re-sale i imagine so on the new bike front it looks like i'm going to have to go the trade-in route which will probably cost a fair bit more but what can you do - nothing ever really goes according to plan

Flanders Handlebars. They should have them.

If it was the other driver's insurance paying, why will you still have scuff marks? The idea is that he pays for ALL damage, however minor. In my garage I have an exhaust system with the tiniest of scratches, that was replaced (the insurance company didn't want it back, so the bike shop guy gave it to me as a spare). When I got the bike back, it was like new. Even scuff marks that I had done prior to the accident had been replaced. :??:

i wonder if her name is jeep ???

[Viirin]

No this whole thing has turned into quite the ordeal - my insurance company admitted responsibility without telling me and by using a falsified police statement. The whole thing is going to court but apparently it's common enough with the insurance company I'm with because the investigators get paid on commission by how quickly they can close claims. My no claims bonus is gone and my premium is up higher than ever, the police man at the scene said that he never gave the investigator any statements, I need to get a solicitor to bring my case to the ombudsman and on top of all that i can't fix the bike until the whole thing get sorted out!

And BTW i found gregors comment hilarious - exactly the kind of comedy i'm into :lol:
