I got nailed by an old lady in houston going about 70 on the freeway. Snapped my femur and was in a coma for a month. Also totalled my S2.

The healing process is slow, but the more effort and energy you put into it now will pay off in the long run. DON'T let the insurance company allow the doctors to write you off as "healed". The therapists will try to get you signed off as quickly as possible because they are not making as much money off you as the typical person.

Also, I recommend at LEAST 200k under/uninsured motorist protection and investing in a good set of riding gear. It will be awhile you I'm sure you will want to hop on a bike in no time.

It was two years after my wreck before I had the chance to ride again, and it was a beautiful experience. Don't let some dumbarse take away one of lifes most pleasureable experiences.

Well, my life is looking up. I took my settlement money and opened up a motorcycle shop. Im doing good so far with a couple big jobs and some smaller jobs trickling in. All in all im happy with my silver lining.

we need to start a emergency fund just for us it can be done for relatively nothing, prayer would help more though, but for you non believers I work in the INS world we could really do something other than hating dumbasses that hurt us
