If you have a cane you have a undeniable RIGHT to poke people. Otherwise what's the fun in having one? Hell I think it's un-american if you don't trip at least one person and then make them feel BAD for throwing YOU off balance.

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.

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 back )

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 ).

Get every dime u can get,i have arthritis and the moose made it worse but his inc. co will not pay If u have to stop biking at your age it will be a sin. I got 59 yrs. in so it's ok for me,but my goal is to ride till 75 yrs. Got 3 more to go. Hope u get what u deserve from this "O Ring".

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.
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!
