She was uninsured, so I should benefit from my 'uninsured motorist insurance' regardless of fault. And if she is uninsured, it's because she hasn't the money for insurance, meaning there's not much point in filing a suit.
Very good points roger.
Your brain seems to be working pretty good (and realistically)
Sending best wishes from the Big Apple!
Wow, Roger, the financial side of this never occurred to me. I hope THAT heals too.
Pretty good health insurance. Best possible outcome is $1000.00 co-pay hospital and $500.00 for ambulance. Plus prescriptions, of course. May be higher, but they haven't kicked out a bill yet.
Oddly, the financial side was the first thing I thought of. The ambulance arrived and I think I said "How's the bike, and hey, I've got Lovelace insurance."
Here's hoping for the best possible outcome, Roger.
Just talked with roger a bit .... but forgot to ask how the bike is, Swimpy. :wink:
(He's not doing too bad, after three days at work, it seems. [Though it certainly isn't easy either.])
Lovelace Insurance? I've heard of them: they're the outfit that gives you a BJ instead of money. Right? Gus recommended it to me once.
Don't know, Swimpy. I am told there's not a scratch on it, proving you should always lead posterior first. My place was painted and carpeted while I was in the hospital, and there are tons of stuff, including the bike out in the storage shed. I haven't quite dug down to it yet, as I'm still fairly limited in what I can do. Also, I'm not quite up to riding yet anyway. When I can get to it, I'll take it to the bike shop for a quick looking over if it seems okay to me.
It better be in good shape. Before the accident, I had ordered and received (but not installed) a Brooks saddle, a pair of seat bags, and a Thompson elite seatpost. The only thing would transfer to my old bike is the seat bag. The saddle has an unconditional "return for any reason" as I bought it from Wallingford Bike Parts. Guarantee is the kind I like. If you decide you dont' like it, you can return it within 6 months for full refund.
Hah! See how I'm improving? A few weeks ago, I couldn't have sat at the keyboard long enough to come up with two paragraphs.

Too bad our keisters don't come with a guarantee like that!
glad to learn you are on the mend roger
I bought a Kettler German bike recently. Really enjoy riding it - away from traffic.
hope you're feeling 100% very soon.
Glad to hear things getting better, Rog :-D
Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass (
) about the bike. I'm just glad the rat's ass is improving day-by-day. I read that you were back at work. I hope that helps to get your mind off the pain a bit. I'm sure it eases your financial worries. Hang in there, Rog.
Roger
Your recovery is a good reason to celebrate on 4th of July.

ditto about the rat's ass. as well as the rest of him.
You know Steve, I've got a Kettler rowing machine, and I'm pretty sure it's the same company. It's in storage at the moment, and I'll probably be in condition for the bike before I am for rowing.
Yeap, it's the same company. They make (plastic) toys and (plastic) garden furniture as well - situated quite close to us.
