    After a long night at work of locking up idiots I had to go take warrants this
    morning. Decided to ditch the cruiser and grab my bike to run these errands.
    Everything was great, dropped the warrants off at the Sheriffs office and headed
    home. Only made it about 2 miles when a woman turned in front of me at the court
    house and you guessed, she was on her F***ing phone, left hand, left ear.

    My poor baby ceptor which has been faithful not to mention the funnest bike I've
    ever owned is no more. The good news... the solo seat cover and gas tank are
    still perfect and it was all most out of fuel. Hate for a tank of liquid gold go
    to waste. The head light and fairing were still ok. The entire front end other
    than the brakes is trashed.

    I'm too old for this crap, thing hurt worse than they use to. I'm sore but
    functional now and can not stand on my right leg so I doubt I'll be able to walk
    tomorrow. OH well, I'll live.

    I'll put picks up later.

    Would it not be fun to drive by the bitch picking up trash a couple of weekends in a row in the hot summer sun? (Community Service can be a bitch!)

    Offences such as this are getting more and more public attention. Her actions could easily have resulted in death, both hers and yours! In many ways the act of chatting on a cell phone or for that matter "texting" is potentially more dangerous than speeding.

    The authorities here in Ontario are starting to get really serious with offenders. They have even taken to undercover activities in order to catch the offenders of this relatively new law. Recently they have been dressing up as construction workers and hanging out with a hidden radio so they can call ahead to where the dragnet waits. It seems like this tactic is the only way to get the point across. They nailed a dude a few weeks back who was driving with his knees on a three lane HWY while he was eating a quarter chicken with both hands!:crazy:

    I see people all the time texting and or talking, completely oblivious or at least partially livious....:chaingun:

    Best of luck with the repair process. Hope she has adequate insurance. I observe the distracted driving idiots all the time talking and texting, putting on makeup, reading.... whatever - both when I'm on the bike and when I'm in the truck. :nono: Lots of times while on the bike, I feel like leaning over knocking on the window :hitit:, and telling them they should pay attention to what they are doing (DRIVING). aaaarghhhhh! :chairshot:

    I'm not parting it out. Going to fix it. Especially since I just looked on flea bay and realized the side panels are going to cost more than the forks and wheel lol

    I'm sure her insurance is going to try to total it. gona call them and tell them I want to meet their adjuster so I can explain to him that they can give me a little less cash, I keep the bike and they not total it so I can fix it or I'll tie it up in litigation so that the storage fee is at least 5 times what the value of the bike is.

    All ready had to do this with a car once, after about 2 weeks of storage fees and the threat of arrest if they touch the vehicle changes their attitude from you'll get what we offer or nothing to "oh crap this is about to get REALLY expensive really fast".

    just glad I have another bike till then :cool:
