S10 crash @ Bikeweek

[Mzee]

How did this end?

Nothing final yet, I trailered the S10 back to IL because of broken ribs, the bike is sitting at the dealer here in Decatur, IL awaiting the insurance adjuster and it is too premature to see how the other persons insurance is going to own up for a broken bike, broken ribs, medical and hospital bills, and a lost vacation . ::010::

I am just now finding this, Doug. Jeeze .... what a crappy way to spend a day of riding-to-be. Most sincere condolences. Please keep us posted, and GET RIGHT, SAILOR as my ex-navy physics teacher used to say. We're pulling for you R ::020:: ::008::

Well, on the bright side, if you're gonna get run over by an idiot, you surely picked the best way to do it.

I would pursue "diminished value" compensation as well, because the bike is gonna have a crash in its history when it comes time to sell.

WOW!! As unfortunate as it was, You got a Story!! And what a story! Can't wait to hear about it in person in Colorado. Glad you're alright.

I rode into Bunnell FL Sunday on my new 2013 S10 stopped and fueled up there. After fueling I rode my bike as far as I could to the edge of the lot. Stopped there sitting on my bike waiting on another rider with me and some guy comes out of the station after buying a lottery ticket, jumps in his car stomps on the gas in reverse never looks back and plows me over. He knocked me off the bike a good 10 ft broke my ribs, shatter both factory bags, damaged my bike all over I get a ride with the EMT,s to the hospital my bike gets trailer away what a hell of a way to breakin my new s10!!. Looks like at least the guy was insured, and they called me tonight wanting to make me whole again. I will keep my friends here posted. ::010::

damn. what a shi**y way to bust up the bike and yourself. at least he had insurance.

I hope you heal quickly

 

[Mzee]

Heal quickly. You will ride again.

Heal well my friend, Bikes can be replaced (even an S10), but you can't.
