I had a crash...a big one!

Hopefully the truck owner has decent insurance. When some idiot left turner got me in 2006 they had the legal minimum insurance which didn't cover $hit. I got a couple of grand for the bike and just enough for medical to cover my deductible.

Oh, and in terms of the truck owner claiming they stopped, how do they explain how the bike was sent flying 30 yards? That would be impossible if they guy was pulling away from a stop.

Damn Trevor, that really sucks. Hope things heal up quick.

If you have allergies, make sure you take whatever meds that work for you. Sneezing with broken ribs really hurts, especially if it sneaks up on you.

Glad you made it out alive, Trevor. Bike looks mangled, good to hear your injuries weren't as severe. I recently had some close calls with cars blowing red lights, luckily avoided collision. But it scared the pants out of me. Speedy recovery, sir!

in bc the minimum liability you can carry is $200,000... the video clearly shows he didn?t stop.

Trevor, so sorry to learn of this accident. Be patient as this is going to take a lot of time before you will be able to ride again. But, thank goodness you will be able to ride again.

So you have a lawyer, my advice would be to go for the jugular of that asshat that hit you. I really hope he has to pay a severe penalty for his actions.

Best of luck to you with the healing process. I am sending good wishes for a speedy recovery.

If I can be of any help, don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry for the double post. I tried to delete it but it didn't work.

I've got a great dent puller...

Did I see a bit of a '69 Camaro in one of those photos?

lol...the best we can figure is the top dent in the tank may have been caused by my chest...which would explain the 14 broken ribs...
The 69 Camaro is my father in law's car...he's owned it for something like 25 years...

Good detective work by your son, getting the video!

Wouldn't you know the scumballs would say they stopped at the sign! It was mentioned , that the accident scene itself would likely tell the correct story. If they HAD stopped, and then proceeded into the intersection somehow managing to hit the side of a fast moving motorcycle crossing ahead of them, I'd think the motorcycle would ricochet but continue to move ahead at close to its original speed and direction....not under their wheels.

Still, even with a police report in hand, ICBC or the other party might try to apportion blame to you. The video will stop that! And I hope the Police lay charges. Even them lying about stopping is attempted fraud to me.

I saw the video and he didn't even slow down. He went through that stop sign full nuts on .... Not sure if lying to the police is a charge in Kanada but if it is they're done........

Be wary do not share the video with anyone doing so may bite you on the ass.

Cops told me it's not against the law to lie to police...I texted the woman that helped me on the scene today to thank her and she said to me that the guy was saying at the scene "we both came to a stop at the same time and then we both went together at the same time and that's how we collided....lol....I think they should be charged with obstructing justice...

eff me bud you are lucky to be alive. Good that you have video. Wow. I'm sure you will keep us updated with the recovery process

I know what he is saying is all BS but that statement alone, even it was true, puts him at fault because 2 vehicles approaching at the same time you must yield to the vehicle on your right. Anyway, lucky you have the video that says otherwise.

They could be charged with Obstructing Justice if the police have the will to do it.... I suspect they won't though .......

Nice hearing you're at home, Trev... hospitals are no fun at all. Much easier to heal in familiar surroundings.

I remember a friend of mine out in Ontario had a crash once that left him with two broken wrists. He couldn't do anything for himself and had to have his elderly parents move into his house to care for him. It has to be a new low to have your mother or father wipe your bum for you. I can't imagine.....

Janice going to wheel you out to the garage for your safety meeting on Friday? :wink:

Someone above asked "where's the Bandit"? So where's the Bandit? I need the engine for my pop-up Katana project. LOL! :dancing:

Chat soon.

Lol... I?ve just started to be able to wipe my own azz...
I plan on having a safety meeting next Friday.
The bandit is here... waiting to see what happens as I didn?t have collision on it but Icbc will have to pay since it was the other guy?s fault. So depending on the buy back... If there is such a thing... I may purchase and part out.

If you do, I might take the whole carcass off of your hands.

I delivered the orange Katana to the mainland today, the creation has returned to its creator. I therefore need to build its replacement. :encouragement:
