Just got off the phone with my lawyers office. She said she has been playing phone tag with the insurance adjuster. So I'm still waiting to find out.

Went and signed the release paper and checked out the bike...
I got hauled off in an ambulance bike got hauled off on a flatbed. I just filled it up with gas too. The firefighters said it was leaking gas and yeah the tank is bone dry.

oooh that cracked lower crankcase doesn't look good...well none of it looks good, but the crankcase is major bucks.
Looks like you went down pretty hard. Glad you weren't hurt worse.

My ego... LOL
Road rash from my knuckles to shoulder on my left arm. 4 stitches on my left elbow. Road rash from knuckles to elbow on my right arm. 4 stitches on my cheek. 4 stitches on my right knee. Road rash on my love handles and upper butt cheeks. Road rash on a couple of my toes because i lost my right shoe. Every muscle in my back neck and shoulders is pulled and tweaked and i banged up my left ankle too.

Yeah you'd be feeling much better if you wore some nice summer gear for sure. Sometimes up here in New England I wear just underwear under my riding gear. I sweat at the lights but then cool off as soon as I am moving again. Then hang the riding gear outside. Garden hose it. Ready to roll again. (Or not! LoL. "God awful stink behind that motorcycle, Harold. Stay back!") I think in FL you need to be loud, bright and light, as in ready to move the bike wherever at a moments notice. Rush Hour HIGH VIS is a must. I loved my TU250 in traffic. Zippy light. - But let's face it, rush hour in FL is a car mess. With all the traffic lights I am sure people are texting up a storm. I just try to find drivers who I see paying attention and hang with them. - You will heal and that is the main thing. I ride in FL when I am there, as if everyone IS going to do that stupid thing and they do. My brother says the same in Melbourne. He knows they will. Right turn. Left turn. No signal. Vote for tough texting laws.
