My buddy used to have one of those in the early 80's, the bank came and took it away because the guy who owned it before him had a lean on it.

They're good bikes, especially for beginners. Got mine for $500 from my uncle. I could probably get close to $1200 because I keep it in good shape. But I won't be selling it anytime soon since I haven't decided what to get next.

Sweety, I'm glad you weren't hurt seriously, but PLEASE tell me you got her insurance and contact information Just In Case?
I work for an insurance company now, and I will be the first to say that there are a lot of dumasses on the road. And there are a lot of dishonest money-mongers who are out to make a profit out of the situational experience of a car accident. But there are ALSO a lot of people who are legitimately injured in accidents and don't even realize how bad it is until several days later.
In fact, when I was in my Bad Car Accident a few years ago, I felt fine until two days later. After that, it was almost 6 months before I could walk again. And over 5 years later, I have chronic daily migraines, all as a result of an accident where I initially thought I wasn't injured.
I'm not trying to scare you - I just want you to take care of yourself - if the little voice in your head tells you to get checked out PLEASE DO! Better safe than sorry - you had very little protection from internal and soft tissue injuries, being on a motorcycle. I'm just worried....
I hope you feel better *hugs* And I'm REALLY glad it wasn't worst... I've taken some horrific motorcycle claims in my time. I'm glad you didn't join the ranks of them....

Aww. I feel so loved. Thanx guys. I think I will go see a doctor tomarrow. The left side of my body is sore, feels like I strained everything from the shoulder to knee. I'm not going to sue or anything, she felt so bad about hitting me that even though she caused my physical pain, I caused her emotional. And I don't want to add financial pain to that. That's just rubbing salt in the wound.
Besides I don't need cash to fix my bike, an afternoon in the garage can take care of that. As for my soreness, well a little thing I like to call "THC" has already fixed that for me.

So, longtime Flarites may recall from last season's episodes, my leg is fucked and last year I was injecting myself (in the stomach) with the anti-inflamatory drug Humria.
That was just not doing enough, so I've been going infusions of Remicade the past six months or so..... Today I read this tasty bit o' news:
quote:Rheumatoid arthritis patients taking Humira or Remicade face triple the risk of developing several kinds of cancer and double the risk of getting serious infections, a study led by the Mayo Clinic found.
I dont know weither to laugh or cry: I was taking BOTH for a while.
I was hospitalized FOUR times last year for my leg becoming infected.

holy shit! That's why I don't take pills unless I really really have too. If I can't pronounce it I'm not taking it.
