Got Lucky and Bike is OK !!

Darren,

Sorry to hear about the tib/fib.
Congratulations on keeping the bones aligned, though.
My wife broke HER tib/fib, and surgery ensued, along with infection and scarring. You get to avoid all that!

That bites! I hope you heal well and on schedule. You have rides to make.
I'm just glad you didn't traumatize that stupid kid more by dieing on him. I hope he learned his lesson.

 

[Smallville]

You did get his insurance info didn't you?

Does not matter in Kansas. Kansas is a no fault state so that means everyones insurance pays for only them no matter who was at fault.

Hope you heal quickly Tiny.

So no one gets personaly held responsible ?? What part of that makes sense ?? Do the Doctor's out there have the same lack of responsibility ?? I hope he can sue himself for damages and lost wages .
That just stinks all the way around , heal quick .

 

[SupraSabre]

Ouch..hurts just thinking about it! Bummer for sure but it sounds like you'll recovery, let's hope completely!

Thanks for all the best wishes!!! Trying to keep my sense of humor about all my mishaps...At least I made it out of 2011 without totaling a bike

Sorry to hear of your 'lucky' day. Had me chucklin' in a few spots tho - sorry.

Hope you heal quickly and without the ability to predict the weather with that leg. What a story!

I hope it won't be a weather predictor...I already have a couple of those...

Heal fast and try to do what the doctors say, lortab 7.5 will get you hooked fast so take it with a shot of Lord so the booze will take the edge off.
PS.. You should call that kid up and have him come over to do chores for ya. Better than a Wife

I called the kid and he came over with his parents and they offered to pay my deductible on the insurance. Don't have very big deductibles so they will get off pretty light. Used a weeks vacation so I'm not out any pay. Kid apologized and seemed pretty sincere about it, I did also for the language...but man I was HOT! I guess he was still in tears when he got home so his parents found out what happened...

and its true in Kansas if he did not make contact everybody takes care of their own medical insurance. I called the police and the most they could have done IF they had personally witnessed it would to be a ticket for the stop sign and Texting.


But look...I'm testing out a new version of a poor man's CanAm Spyder...well it has two wheels in front at least

The whole idea behind a thread like this is to garner sympathy and pass along experience to others. The picture puts the kibosh to the sympathy part of the equation. You have a new, cool scooter, a Keurig machine and a crockpot full of clam chowder? Post a few pictures of bodacious babes signing your cast and it goes from sympathy to jealousy.

ps What's the cable on the ST (Scooter for Tiny) for? Parking brake? GE, we bring good things to life!

 

[TinyL]

A trip to Hooters is definitely in my future. Will bring along a few markers and a camera Hotwings and Hot woman are never a bad thing...unless you have a wife! See no wife is not always a bad thing...Would like to meet the right one sooner rather than later though.

Have 2 fridges, crockpot, rice cooker, Keurig, microwave, hot plate, toaster oven, kicker iPod boom box, xm radio, all within 10 feet of my desk...work is hell.

The scooter has two brakes, they lock out as well so I don't do anymore damage before this cast is gone.

 

[Rick77]

DUDE!!! Heal quickly, and listen to the Doc, and you'll be riding by Spring.

 

[okmurdog]

Holy Cripe Daren!

Glad you're on the recovery path. Take it easy and don't push yourself too hard while recovering...there are many future RTEs for you to participate!

On a accident report there is still someone listed at fault. IIRC the at fault drivers policy will pay for damages to the vehicle/property but not medical to the other driver. Your insurance pays for medical and lossed wages.
Several States are this way.

What no scars or aftermarket parts? Come on Tiny. I thought I taught you better than that!
I never get that lucky.
I'm glad to see that it wasn't worse. I was off work 7 months when I had a tibial plateau fracture. 4 months on cructhes. The pain was unbearable! Loratb was like a baby asprin.I had the grab a pillow stuff! :rx1:
Take care of yourself. And safe that vacation time so we can take a ride together soon.

 

[roginoz]

It looks like you may have a little trouble riding to the Roy's BBQ RTE in March. (Maybe we can send those two guys who arrived in a Cadillac down to Ark City to pick you up.)

Glad the damage wasn't worse.

I was relieved the damage was lined up...had multiple fractures surgically repaired before and takes way longer to heal. I will be driving the car for sure...or at least if the keep with the 14 weeks in cast prediction.

Tiny,
Hope you have a quick recovery. You got a lot of miles to put on this summer.
