Here's what happened... I was in the HOV lane going past stopped traffic going at least 10 under the speed limit knowing stopping on 2 wheels for people who

Oh man, be careful out there! So glad you're okay! Motorcycles scare the crap out of me. I'm always afraid I'm going to pin one, especially when they weave in and out of traffic. :(

yeh I was definitely not weaving, I'd been in my lane for a few miles, and wasn't speeding at all....Thanks for your concern :)

I'm so glad you're okay! I agree with Heather, motorcycles are scary and I never know what they are going to do. Plus, in PA now we have very loose helmet laws and very few people wear anything and it drives (haha) me crazy.

Yeh I always wear a full face helmet. I've seen the damage that some people's helmets have taken, and it seems just stupid to not wear one. Thanks for your concern :)

Oh my gosh! *hugs tight* I'm so glad you're relatively OK. :(

Will you be compensated for what you lost?

I have full insurance so what the other guy's insurance doesn't cover mine should. Thanks for the hug :)

That's really scary, glad to hear you're being smart about your gear. After the stories I've heard from my dad I wouldn't be caught on a motorcycle without the kind of gear you mention. Stay safe, and hopefully the idiot who hit you will suffer some sort of punishment.

I'm also glad you're okay :0)

Thanks, and I do appreciate the sentiment :)
