First time out since the wreck.

Accident
Glad to hear you can get around, could have been a lot worse. Keep an eye on your wounds. I hit and killed a MOOSE 3 years ago on my Nighthawk Honda ,broke both wrists,left thigh bone, fracture to hip and 4 ribs. Three years later the pain is getting worse every day. Keep an eye on everything. Good to get back on the horse. It was my 69 th. birthday. 
Ride careful, you'r dead a long time .

Re: Accident
Yeah, my knee and possibly my neck are going to have arthritic problems. The knee was bad to begin with... And I was just going to take up jogging! (quite smoking a few months backBikerEd wrote:...Three years later the pain is getting worse every day...
)Anyway, I decided right away to get a lawyer. I don't expect to get rich off of it, but why should I lose money because some @sshole telecom driver was in a hurry? They plan to make them pay for my bills, even though my insurance covered them, also get me paid for missed work (four days of leave is a big chunk for us Americans
). --Dave
Don't think of it as a stop light. Think of it as a chance-to-show-off light.

Re: Accident
You may want to have a talk with Northern Pete. He thought about taking the bike one day when he hit and killed a moose in the cage a year or two ago.BikerEd wrote:Glad to hear you can get around, could have been a lot worse.

Glad you survived, but sorry about the pain!
As for the moose's ins. co, get yourself a lawyer and see what he can do!
