We'll miss seeing photos of the Hilsen for awhile, but more importantly, we are hoping to see you completely recovered before the bike.

Re: [RBW] Well, Damn
Dang, Chris, I've had dreams where I bounce off cars and land on my feet--nice work! Sorry about the Homer, but glad you're OK. Broadway in general is such mess. Don't have to ride it that often, but every time I do it puts me on edge.

Re: [RBW] Well, Damn
Glad you came out of it relatively unscathed, but wait for a couple of days before you say All's well. I got hit by a *right* turning car (on my left, not oncoming) in 2006 and went over in a slo-mo fall, landing on my face. No serious damage to me (30 stitches in face, but shallow lacerations) and less to the bike (bent bottle cage, tho' I made them cough up for each little scratch) and, after the usual 8 hour ordeal in the ER, I planned to ride into work the next morning. Oh no! Starting the next morning and for 2 weeks thereafter, I was pretty much bent over at a 75 degree angle and stiff, stiff, stiff. Just so you know. File a claim against the perp's insurance and tell your own auto insurance company; medical pay and UI motorist benefits acrue if needed. And get a copy of the police report and send it to both insurance companies. Claim for medical costs (again, the longer term ones too), damage to property, loss of use, lost wages for time off, and pain and suffering. This is not milking the system, it is claiming benefits for which you and the other party have paid and which the system is designed to pay and which the companies expect to pay. The basic principle is that the cash should as much as possible compensate for *all* your losses, physical, mental, and property, caused by the OP. The OP's insurance company will try to lowball you; demand what you think is fair. I sold PC, personal and business, for a while. And good luck.

Oh, and photograph all damage to yourself and to your property. They owe you a new helmet, too.
