ParticipantThanks patiently, that’s very insightful. I’ll ask when I see my friend again if it was the loan servicer, probably was.
xbox, it’s my thread, you can hijack it all you like! Besides I like to chat about whatever comes out, which isn’t necessarily always in line with the OP. You have a great attitude, even though your running career was shortened you see the glass half-full in that you still have a knee to gripe about. Those Ducatis are fun but I think you did the smart thing to give it up for your family. You never know when you’re going to get blindsided. My bike doesn’t have that kind of acceleration being a 453 lb cruiser so I take it easy but still I’ve had my share of close calls both with other vehicles and with gravel patches.

ParticipantMy brother had a monstrous Valkyrie 1800cc but when he rented a scooter once, he wiped out because he applied the front brake sharply, the front shocks had a lot of give, it was much lighter than what he was used to, and he flipped over! He seriously hurt his hand. Never laid down the Valkyrie once!
Here’s my riding partner on my bike… I’m not one to dress up dogs but on the bike one must have eye protection (plus she is fully harnessed).

ParticipantThe system was set up by lawyers, for lawyers. They are always the winners. Like you I learned about the “features” of our legal system when I was in a 3-year suit as executor of an estate. That is a long story.
When you won, did their side cover your legal costs? Did you lose anything out of pocket? Have your injuries healed? Did you get a new bike?
I ride but am single without family and have been lucky in that nobody has hit me. If I had a family to take care of I might reconsider riding these mean streets (see the SUV discussion and how smug people are that they won’t be hurt when they cause accidents from behind the wheel of their suburban).
