    Holy hell. Yeah, going to go get checked out for sure. That's terrifying. Thankfully, I'm not a part of any of those high risk groups. Still though, it's concerning. Thank you for your insight. I'll keep an eye on this.

    I think we're on about two different things. I've looked and looked, and it seems I've mistaken embolism for something else that I don't know the proper name for... What I was referring to is a collection of blood under the surface of my skin that's clotting and staying put. It's not a bruise...

    Yes, absolutely, I hear you about the injury aspect. I've been down before, the most notable one was a ten-place left tibial plateau fracture that still gives me grief from time to time. That was nasty. I was in bed for two and a half months that time. I've got an injury adjuster assigned to my...

    Crap dude, that stinks :/ sorry to hear about the wrist and ankle too. The bike can be repaired, but those two joints are probably two of the worst to have injuries in. I hope that you have a speedy and complete recovery. Be sure to look into physio so you can maximize your range of motion once...

    I contacted my insurance broker, informed them of the accident, gave them the police accident report number, all pertinent info, my side of what happened, conditions, etc, and they did the rest. I believe they then contacted the other party's insurance requesting admission of liability (which...

    Next steed will likely be a ZX14R ABS. Once you have the kind of power and torque mine had, you can't really go backwards to something smaller. I prefer the bigger comfy bikes as well, but don't like the idea of going full tourer and still want sporting capabilities. Not many options besides the...

    Maybe? Haha hadn't thought of that. I think perhaps shock that she just took out a motorcyclist or couldn't deal with the abrupt responsibility she just assumed. Don't mind at all! I imagine the bulk of them are left turn / U-turn accidents / pull out in front of / "didn't see you" accidents...

    I'm out for the season. Crashed the bike on Tuesday due to a left turner at Bayview/Merton. Bike is a total write off. I'm fine, save for some very minor rash and some bruising. I bailed right before the bike hit the car and missed the back end by about a foot, then continued sliding down the...

    That was me. Left turner as I approached the intersection in the right southbound lane. She started her turn, noticed me, then stood on the brakes and stopped dead in front of me. I had a second and a half, maybe two, of braking time before I bailed to avoid hitting the car with the bike. I...

    The chance for rain is nearly non-existent all evening. 10-20% on one app, 40% on the Weather Network app, and even if it does rain, they're only calling for <1mm of it... Barely enough to get a Kleenex damp. And that's up until 8... after that it drops off to nothing. 30, 20, and 10% hourly...

    I may make it. I just recently (Friday) got my bike up and running again after it being in a coma since last Sept when I binned it on that on-ramp... I say *may* because I'm busy as hell working on others' bikes right now during the two weeks I have off between semesters at school. Trying to...

    Can't make it. SNAFU and I now have something in common... Lowsided last night on a ramp after leaving a movie. Lost the front end under transition from braking to leaning as I was running wide intentionally to avoid the oil or diesel or whtvr it was on the ramp, but had already gone thru it...

    Can't make it out tonight, bunch of stuff already going on. Maybe next week! How's the bike SNAFU? More importantly, how are you?

    Well, I showed up with a friend, but nobody else is around... "Booo, not cool." Going to have a coffee and then bounce for a ride if nobody makes an appearance...

    Anyone else considering L&YM tonite? I'll probably swing by 'round 8 for a bit before heading down the DVP to do ramps and the extension before bed...

    Nowhere close to being too cold! But with that said, I'm likely out for the season. Bike developed a stuck valve on the #3 cylinder, or something else that's causing the intake valves to not seat and lose compression. Dumped a pile of fuel back into my airbox last night and filled the drain...
