I have a shoulder deformity and my girlfriend likes dressing up like a gypsy and belly dancing. If you can act like either a sexually repressed priest or a dashing but immoral military officer, we could get something going here. Edit - road without gloves yesterday and I was distracted by all those stories of only wrecking the one time gear is discarded. Kinda Self fulfilling, yeah?

You are entitled to full cost needed to make the bike whole again, regardless of what you do or don’t do to repair it. Now back to your normal kinkscene.

It really does make me more awkward at riding just because I'm less confident and it feels off to not have gear on. Also, even if I'm completely squidding it up, I have to have gloves on because the muscle memory is off without them.

I don’t get it when I see people here in Cali doing 60+ in a tank top and shorts. Riding in anything but full gear feels downright unpleasant from wind/bugs/dust alone.

Frosty- posted:I went to the doctor and got a phone snap of the cool X-ray: Wow that looks exactly like my xray from my wreck this summer. Diagnosis was AC joint separation grade 2. Definitely ask for physical therapy. My GP was ready to let me chill in a sling and told me it would heal up in about 6 weeks. PT said sling would lead to the shoulder joint freezing up, and that I should expect 6 months minimum before it wasn't causing me discomfort. Over the course of a couple months, the PT laid out a regimen of stretches, then exercises to get my mobility back and start to strengthen the weakened joint. Without exercises, it's also likely I'll re-injure that shoulder in the future. He also cautioned me not to overdo it, as that would slow healing and leave the joint more prone to re-injury. If worst comes to worst, and you can't get physical therapy let me know and I'll share what I was told to do. Also, it's coming up on 4 months and the shoulder still loving sucks. I can't really see the asymmetry, but I can feel it. Reaching across for the seatbelt is torture every day, and I still can't sleep on that side at all. Every day, whether it's putting on a shirt, pulling stuff down off shelves, playing with my kids or just random whatever I'm still subjected to random stabs of pain there. I'm an old beardo goon tho so I don't heal as fast as I used to. Hopefully you have a better time of it. MonkeyHate fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Nov 5, 2017 |

Oh and also sorry for the double-post but I just had my THIRD wreck of this year on the DRZ. It's Friday, and I'm getting ready to get the gently caress out of work and go home for a much deserved weekend of fun and relaxation. I can already taste the beer and my family's love and also mostly the beer. But here's what I didn't know: There's been a daytime game at the stadium next to my office. It just let out. Drunks are out on the road in force. I put on all my gear (thank goodness)... hop on the bike, which at this point is still sporting knobbies... race out of my parking spot and up the garage ramp... stand up on the pegs and lean forward - to put my body that much closer to home... exit the garage into the rain-soaked near freezing street... lean into the turn to get home... twist the poo poo out of the throttle - to get home faster... and lowside the gently caress out of my bike in front of three buildings' worth of judgmental co-workers waiting there for the bus. The only damage was to my ego, but it really took an extra hard hit since my boot got stuck under my rear rack and it took me forever to wriggle free under the weight of my coworkers' disapproving stares before I could awkwardly pick up the bike and GTFO. Also everybody knows me and everybody knows my bike so there's no avoiding those conversations. In my defense, I've only been riding every day for like the last ten years so how would I have known not to goose the throttle while turning sharply while putting my weight over the front wheel while the road was slippery? Edit: What I hope you learn from my mistake: Leave work early on Fridays so there will be fewer witnesses to your dip-shittery. MonkeyHate fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Nov 5, 2017 |

For every conversation about it just ask if they enjoyed your art and leave it at that.

Hopefully you have a better time of it. The insurance company has decided to total the bike. Reportedly, the fork stops are broken, and the dealership says the forks are bent, too, and all the parts and especially the labor for that add up to something like $6600. So that's the end of my FZ07. Adding up all the costs of this is pretty shocking; I got hit for a little over 25% of my gross yearly income. I've tried to estimate what the payout from the insurance company will be, and I've come up with something like 800 dollars, which means it's not likely I'll be able to afford a replacement. I'm back down to my decrepit Ninja 250 and my CBR600RR, neither of which is really appropriate to take over for the Yamaha. In other news, the ~25 days I was away from work severely jeopardized my job, and I have gone from being an essential team member to a completely marginalized pity case who is only kept around because it would be very mean to fire me. Now, I simply do work of zero importance for almost no hours a week. What I've learned: Unless the puddle of blood you're lying in is extremely large, refuse ambulance transportation, as well as any form of hospitalization, or clinic attention. At no point since my crash has a medical person done anything other than look at me and tell me I'll be fine, that'll be $600, please. Bike insurance is required by law, but the law doesn't require you to have confidence in that insurance. Plan as though you do not have any, because you will be surprised how much you end up losing, anyway. Do not trust police to be helpful in any way. If they take your AAA card and tell you they are going to call AAA, they are lying; you will pay the $300 towing/storage fee to the shadiest garage in town. Ignore the ambulance people some other fuckhead called even though you didn't want them, ignore the cop dipshit badgering you for information, and call AAA or anyone else you need to call, yourself. Actually, I guess it can all be summed up as: Have no faith in anything, trust no one. Oh well, I should have known better in the first place.

I dunno about where you live, but here there's a separate Accident Towing Authority that are the only people legally allowed to tow a vehicle from the scene of an accident. I didn't realise this when I called the RAA (Australian AAA equivalent), who I have a membership with and access to free towing, and they forwarded me on to the authority not telling me it would cost $400 for the tow when it got there.

So like, america and freedom and all, but what the gently caress are you doing riding a motorcycle if you don't have any worthwhile medical insurance.

I have Obamacare so I never leave the house. Nah tho, if I get in a bad accident where I rack up a lot of medical bills my long term plan is to not pay them.

Yeah, either that or they eventually sell you off to a collection agency who you then negotiate with.

All you need to do is stave off the collection agency until either capitalism or US society collapses.

There is literally no way that this is Frosty's fault. There aren't all sorts of relatively cheap insurance options you can take onto your moto policy to cover additional medical expenses. It's especially important if your job requires anything beyond diddling the keyboard. America does a lot of stupid poo poo, but whining about the totally foreseeable consequences of a pretty minor motorcycle crash is stupid. If you can't deal with the consequences financially you should consider walking.

No poo poo, it’s kind of poor form to blame the individual American consumer for how hosed our health care is.

The system is hosed, but you can buy poo poo like personal injury protection on your insurance policy that can cover lots of that poo poo. https://www.dmv.org/insurance/personal-injury-protection-insurance-for-motorcyclists.php
