ORIGINAL: tj444 I think you should sue the guy or have your insurance company sue him/his company.. Well, the bike is a manufacturers demo and any damage would be handled by the insurance they use on these bikes. I could still sue for medical. I do actually have his name and address on the police report because the Sheriff took license information from both of us. I was actually a little heart warmed to see how many people in the motorcycle community offered to go have a "chat" with him on my behalf. well,... it happened in an area you like to go to and if he lives in the area or goes there frequently, you might end up.. um.. er.. "running into each other" again? I would put a go pro camera on your helmet just in case.. at the very least you would get some great vids of the scenery.. Years ago I got lightly rear ended at a stop light, no damage done to the car but neck started bothering me (and for years afterward).. I didnt sue or make a claim and it took me a while to figure out that the reason my neck bothered me was from that very minor accident.. Dont take the medical/physical damage to your body lightly.. keep a diary of your pains, how you feel, pain meds you take, time off work, etc so if you decide to sue you have a record of the pain, suffering, etc.. and know what the statute of limitations for that kinda lawsuit is there.. I absolutely agree with this. I'm so happy it wasn't worse. I desperately want another bike, but living in Atlanta gives me pause. The drivers here are, I believe, largely transplants from elsewhere. Which means that there isn't generally a *typical style* of driving (if that makes sense?). Combine an L.A. driver, with a Chicago driver, and throw Boston and NYC/NJ in there, and it's friggin' SCARY. And may I just say that I have SERIOUS motorcycle envy, having just looked up teh Octane... :) Ride careful, lady.. they ARE out to get ya (at least that was what my MSF instructor used to say...)
