Insurance companies will drag things out in hopes you will get tired of the B.S. and go away. Be careful who you talk to anywhere. Any new friend or stranger in a casual conversation might work for the insurance company. They hope to trip you up with an accidental admission of some sort.

Welp. I've been completely honest and I have witnesses so I guess all I gotta do is wait.

They will wait until you are healed and not pay until you sign a paper that they don't owe you anything else.

Hit again.
Hit and run.
I'm left on the ground with my bike on top of me.
No one helped.
Two Harley's went by. No one helped.
Car after car...
They just stared.
One leg burned by the engine. The other bruised up.
I'll fix the bike tomorrow.
But I'd like to say this.
Damn every person that just sat and stared at my misfortune.
Damn every one of them to hell.

Took a full minute to get the bike off me after I went down

Sorry for the rant.
H-town is just not a safe place to ride.
To many unlicensed, uninsured, illegal drivers.
My brother said "i told you so" He sold his ride a few years ago.
He said get a boat or a plane. They are much safer.

"One leg burned by the engine" ...... That's one of the reasons I won't ride without crash bars (engine guards I think you Americans call them) Saved my leg the last time I went down, when I got sideswiped by a SUV.

Sorry for the accident. Glad you weren't hurt worse. Unfortunately, what you experienced is the new norm. It is the same here in Vegas. Lots of hit-and-runs. Mostly due to drivers being under the influence and just not caring. Sad statement for our society.

Hit and Run should be an automatic jail sentence if the cops find them. I'm just glad you survived to tell us about it. What were the circumstances?

Parking lot. Bump. I go down. They run away. Everybody stares. Nobody helps.
I never new how hard it is to lift a bike off yourself when it's on your leg.
When you stand and pick it up it's not so bad. Esp a gz250.
But when your on the ground and your trying to un-pin a leg and your curling the
300lb bike that is a foot in front of your sitting torso... OMFG!
Gas station.

I can relate. It took two guys to lift my bike off of my leg when I went down. Fortunately, I just got a sizeable hip bruise out of the deal.

Ouch! I can relate to that. I dumped a heavy dirt bike and had it come down on me. Wound up with bruised discs in my back.
