Alright, decision has been made by the PROGRESSIVE GODS...we both had progressive insurance, and after a brief debate among the managers, they came to the conclusion that I was at fault for not properly signalling my intentions....They will pay nothing toward my bike or injuries. Lawyer backed out as well, as there's not enough "interest" to his firm. Georgia law requires turn indicators for any machine manufactured AFTER 01 January 1972...My bike was built in March of 1972 of coarse.
Damage list: Both throttle cables (Twin Amals), front brake cable, Speedometer, Tachometer, right tank badge, re-paint/bondo tank, front fender, tail light lens, and right handlebar grip. Engineering friend coming to inspect frame for damage, but none visible...$500 or so should get her better than before....Oh, and I agree, I MOST CERTAINLY DO qualify for the Darwin award!!! I went to drain gas from tank for painting, and was'nt a drop in it!!!! All caused by simply running out of gas apparently....So your right. As far as the dog, I still have'nt quite got over that yet either, but we are all human, and make mistakes....Perhaps Im a little MORE human than the rest of us!!!
Here's my Bonny just before leaving for Blowing Rock, NC..May of 2012...942 miles and one crash all together!
