GOT CLOCKED PRETTY WELL BY SOME mORON WHILE RIDING MY SCOOTE

[GridGirl]

Mr Alca-Tazizzle, I hope you feel better soon. Although to a much lesser degree I felt your pain this summer when I was riding my bike and a taxi overtook and immediately turned left into me. Going head and face first into the ground at 20mph is not recommended by myself. Hope you are back on your feet and get your scooter fixed soon.

Taz man , that should have read "Moron" , with a capital M .

Have your lawyers nail his four-wheeled a$$ to the wall .

And , have fun picking out your new scooter .

Did the guy get arrested?

Wise man once told me, "drive scooter on road, look for trouble, trouble find you, beat you to pavement, feel sore all over, car wins all time".

Seriously though, hope you get better soon Mr AT

Did the guy get arrested?

No, in this country we don't arrest people for being Morons (it's the morons doing the arresting ). He was declared to be sober, simply claimed "he didn't notice that the lights had changed", and never saw me, but more importantly, he is fully insured. There was no malice of intent on his behalf, but when everything comes out in the wash, this event will likely give him enough points to lose his license for a while unless he has an otherwise spotless record which I seriously doubt.

@ Starter you are correct sir. It hurts much worse this morning. I have pain in both shoulders that just arrived when I woke up this morning.

Thanks to all I am overwhelmed by all the well wishes. I just needed a place to vent.
BTW I'm really glad god created opioids for situations like this. Hopefully I will not need them by the end of the weekend.
Please pardon my diction I'm actually medicated enough to quali’ as PUI.

Sincere thanks to all

Car vs bike is a scary thing.
Wish you a full recovery Taz - and don't bug the nurses too much while you're in hospital.
Hopefully the Moron actually learns from this, before he kills someone.

Sorry to hear about your mishap Taz. Hope you have a speedy recovery

[Tazio]

will post pictures of what is left of my sportbike as soon as I find the USB adaptor for my camera.... It ain't pretty

[Spafranco]

That is sad to read. I hope your recovery is swift and not overly painful. If you're on painkillers make sure you drink a lot of liquids (not alcohol) to prevent constipation.

You can bet the idiot that ran the light had done it before. Do you have camera's on your traffic lights? If you have you will probably get a decent settlement which of course is secondary to your health.

Be well.

[Tazio]

This one does not have any cameras, but when the sheriff’s investigator visited me at the hospital he said that the Public Transit Bus behind me has one that was running as well as the two businesses on the side of the street where it happened. They told me it will take three weeks until they present an official; report.
