Jamie,That's good advice. I'm just bored, but You're right. I'm sleeping like a thousand hours a day. Haha. I shouldn't make a decision about any of this until I can at least be more mobile around the house.
Take your time, man. Don’t worry about the bike. It ain’t going nowhere. Work on getting yourself better and then you can deal with that sh*t. You can sell tons of stuff off of that bike but there’s no hurry. You may want to hold onto some of that stuff until you decide what you’re gonna to from here.
Does that mean no more C14's for you?That actually didn't occur to me. My thinking is still a little off, I guess. I'd definitely put this stuff on another C14 if I got one. I even brought the leather seat in out of the weather.
Still recovering. My right knee and left shoulder are moving much better, but still really sore. Physical therapy is only on the knee for now, because they want the fractured scapula to heal first, I guess. My face bruising is completely gone, so I'm pretty happy about that. Thanks again for the moral support, guys.Back to modeling job, eh?
Back to modeling job, eh?Haha! GQ here I come.
Insurance dude is coming to look at the bike this week. Notified by my attorney today. I'm pretty sure the frame being broken in frakin half makes it a total loss. LOL
It does seem silly, but at the same time, the insurance company is also does need to try and prevent fraud. Sad to say, but I expect that there are people out there all the time trying to defraud their insurance providers. At least it shouldn't take the inspector long to conclude it is a total loss and without anything fishy.
I noticed that many motorcyclists in SoCal are using super bright yellow aux lighting now. I’m sure it’s nothing new to anyone here, but they really stood out. They were about 3-4 inches in diameter.
I put bright amber JDMAstar leds in the city lights on my bike (thank you Max) and though not the same, I’m hoping they help somewhat.
I know from experience that no matter how much lighting you put on a motorcycle, some people just don’t “see” us. Something to do with drivers expecting something wide like car or truck and for whatever reason, the size of the bike doesn’t register subconsciously as a danger.
Jamiemac, I just came across this!Thanks Ted. As of today, 'm doing pretty good. Shoulder is going to take a while, but the knee (torn meniscus) is feeling much better. However, if I let the level of tylenol in my system go down, the pain makes an appearance pretty quick.
Have no idea why I missed it previously..
Sorry to hear that it happened, but really glad to hear your ok. (err recovering)
I know your sore..
We'll keep cheering for you.
Ride safe, Ted
JMac, I know it’s only been a couple of weeks, but have you decided if you’re going to buy another bike?A lot is going to depend on my financial outcome from this unpleasantness. Also, how my healing goes. I have been reading up on the new generation Goldwing with airbags available. I loved My Connie though. It's going to be a hard decision, I expect. I just don't know at this point.
Also, in regards to your extra set of driving lights: The wife and I just got back from Coronado (San Diego) and I noticed that many motorcyclists in SoCal are using super bright yellow aux lighting now. I’m sure it’s nothing new to anyone here, but they really stood out. They were about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!Thanks so much!
Naaaa, it'll buff right out!I actually took a rag and polished the good left saddlebag. Because....i don't freakin know.
