They Killed my ST-1300

Today the headache from my concussion is reduced --not gone but better than it was yesterday
On the other hand, I'm feeling a ligament damage injury in my knee joint that is not the same as the general bruising to both of my legs and my ribs.
The knee problem is something that I didn't notice at the hospital-- but once you are admitted ti the E.R. at a hospital they put you flat on a gurney, and you don't walk or stand for hours.
Which means I didn't notice knee pain at that time, as the swelling began and the adrenaline in my system from the crash wore off..
I will be seeing a personal injury lawyer who specializes in motorcycle accident cases tomorrow. I know his partner in that law practice from DUI work when I did criminal defense and DUI defense myself.

I anticipate that the book value on a 2007 ST 1300 that had 53,000 miles would be around two grand --with that kind of money I could either buy a new Chinese moped -scooter, or I'll be shopping for a used bike.
I might try a different style of bike : maybe a sport bike like the Kawasaki Ninja, in 500 or 650 size, as long as I can put a trunk / box on it for storage that might serve my needs .
I'll pray about it.

It wasn’t your time yet. Take it easy for a few days. I work on and big red and white ambulance and people still “ don’t see” us.

Speaking of storage boxes on a motorcycle, it was quite a shock regaining my senses laying flat on my back on the street and looking around and not seeing my motorcycle at first )because it was pushed a good distance away from me) but seeing parts of my motorcycle along with clothes and tools and all the other junk I had in my saddle bags and trunk scattered all around!
I remember seeing my gloves laying a few feet away from me and thinking
"What The **** --did the impact knock my gloves off my hands?? So then I looked at my feet because I wanted to see if the impact knocked me out of my boots too
(I have heard of this happening ).
But then I realized the gloves I saw where my spare gloves that came out of the glove box, not the gloves I was wearing which were still on my hands !

Yeah, i've driven 18 wheel tractor trailer rigs-- 70 feet long, 13 feet tall weighing 80,000 pounds, and a shocking number of people pulled right out in front of me.
And in a way that makes me think they didn't see me, rather than thinking they saw me but they expected me to take evasive action not to kill them.
