I'm sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately, I don't have much to add here except the guy is a dickwad.

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...)

Uh, OsideGirl....


Thank you for yet another opertunity to say:

Thats a lot of bike.

Now, as for this particular idiot, not that I am advocating anything but....

A tire iron impacting the knee cap when swung like a baseball bat leaves a lasting impression where as if the testicles were impacted, the pain is much shorter.


Couldn't have been me. I'd have pulled him out the car and knee'd him in the face a few times to calm him down. Then we would talk.

O.O Holy yikes! What Peppermint said are my thoughts exactly. I'm glad it wasn't more serious and that you got out of it more or less okay.

It's disturbing to think this guy is still out there driving a car, AND roaming free among the general public with those oh-so-charming interaction skills. Ugh.
Two car lengths should have been plenty as long as he could see you, which it certainly sounds like he could. I hope you feel better soon.
