Wrecked my motorcycle
Ok, so its been 2 weeks since the wreck and I am recovering well. I was in a pretty severe crash on my Suzuki Bandit 1200 on March 4th. An inattentive driver pulled out and clobbered me. The bike was a total loss. The other driver, a 19 year old girl driving a 2003 4-runner, was issued a citation at the scene.
My right femoral neck was fractured. Basically a fractured hip. The doctor put 4 screws to reattach the femoral knob and said if the blood flow doesn't resume then the knob could die and I would be looking at a hip replacement. eeeek. So I can't put any weight on my right leg for 5 weeks while the bone grows back together, which basically means I can't walk for that period of time. I have a wheelchair for getting around school and a walker for around the house. Anyway, just another chapter in my hectic life! P.S. Just got the hospital bill today. $51,000.00

Get well soon and try to forget the bike. Two many inattentive drivers out there to be ridding any more.

Glad you're OK... I hope you get better fast. The bill is not your worry as it is her insurances to worry about. I'm not sure I would ever get a bike these days. Like was said there are to many inattentive drivers today that are more worried about talking or texting on their phones than driving.

+1...Get well soon.
Bikes/scooters are very convenient for parking at school, but then you have to deal with stuff like this.  I hope you have someone at the house helping you out?

Your lucky your alive. Motorcycles are great fun but with all the nitwit drivers on the road I just dont think they are worth it. When you crash a motorcycle your allmost guarenteed death or serious injury unlike if you do the same thing in a car. I hope you get better soon. I had a motorcycle ( Honda CBR600F4) before and would love to get another, but because of all the cycle wrecks I have seen and dealt with at work, I have a hard time pulling the trigger and buying one.
I hope you get well soon. Chris
