I'm following what Cholla has stated & it shouldn't make any difference if it was 1 in 100 or 1 in 10,000. The same rules should apply, right?
Pretty sure your rare situation doesn't apply to very many others.

Be sure you get your helmet and gear covered by the ins adjuster.My son dropped his C14 Feb 8th. He was making a left out of the alley by mom and dad's house. Very low speed. Spiral break in his tibia (Fixed with tibial nail). Splinter fracture of his fibula and a broken metatarsal. Accident on Friday, check in hand the following Tuesday. Talked to the adjuster from Geico (full coverage) and was told that riding gear wasn't covered.

The Van hit me at the intersection to get on I-64 East. Hope Your Son heals up quick. I'm getting better day by day.
He's having an issue with bone growth. The doctor is prescribing a stimulator as well. Just waiting for the insurance company to approve it. Really hope it helps him!
I'm in Tell City and ride 62 from time to time. You're the closest concours owner that I know of. Good luck with everything. If you get another bike, we should take a ride together one day. What intersection were you at when this happened?

Good to hear!Yeah, I'm pleased with my healing speed. I worked on my knee today, doing half squats, and using ankle wights to do seated leg lifts. My left hand is still pretty weak, but the strength is coming back.
Not to pollute your thread but I got good news from both the surgeon and the P.T. therapist Wed. (had appts. with both): my wrist is up to about 85% movement with the biggest limitation being able to lift my hand above parallel with my wrist (as I was cautioned by the surgeon: he said that will never recover to 'as it was'). The bone is knitting according to the Dr. viewing X-rays, and I have been cleared to use my left hand for light to moderate use: no more than 40 lbs. lifting, and cleared to shoot handguns again. One more trip to P.T. and one final visit to the surgeon and I should be done with all medical assistance. And now, as Mortimer Duke said, for the good news: I can grasp, hold and lean onto the left handlebar of a C-14 and can operate the clutch. Yippy, 'cause I was worried about that one.
Hope you heal even better than I probably will.

A few more nuts and bolts, a bone splint here and a bone stimulator there, soon we have?Haha! Truth!

I'm really glad to hear You're improving. That left wrist is a bad one.
Jamie, who's been paying all the medical bills? {His insurance, or yours}Since I have an attorney working on that end of the case, I've gotta keep it separate from the loss of the scoot, because I'm going to clean their clock on the medical end of the deal. As far as the negotiations on the bike are concerned, it's a waiting game for now. If they don't fork up a satisfactory amount by the time I'm wrapping up the injury case, I'll let the attorney deal with that also.
As his insurance low balled you, it might be a good time to bring that, plus pain/suffering, and lost time from work into the negotiation's.
That, "will" get their attention!
Ride safe, Ted
I read good things about the new Goldwing. But boy are they expensive! I myself am still too young, fit, flexible and sexy, so no 'wing for me for at least another decade Good luck on yours though, and would like to see pics when you get it.Maybe in the spring. I still don't feel up to riding yet. Hopefully, the reviews are right about the new one being more of a big sport tourer are correct.
