marriedman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't forget that if you go to a doctor today and don't feel too bad, that doesn't mean you are out of the woods. You should have about a year after the accident before the insurance will close the case on medical claims. Take your time and make sure that you haven't lost any range of motion or develop some difficulties doing normal tasks. Glad you are OK and sorry about your bike!

Member Contributer MisterBill Posted February 5, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 5, 2014 Glad you are okay. Go to doctor and get checked out. DO NOT sign off on any insurance release papers for medical reasons for a good long time. His insurance will probably want a quick settlement.

vfrgo Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Damn man.. ITS ALWAYS A GUY IN AN INFINITY! my two cents: On top of what the doc says, I'd say up your water intake (try and drink a gallon of water a day), at night take a long epsom salt bath, and stretch in the morning/evening - after the bath/shower, once your body is warmed up from the water. Do this for a couple weeks now, and avoid serious after-effects that can be life long. Do slow stretching - whatever that means for you, as everyone's flexibility is different - but try and reach for you teos etc. Look up stretches for track and field athletes and try to replicate some of those.. Glad you're relatively OK, and avoided casts, crutches etc. oh, yea, almost forgot - get a new bike ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rangemaster Posted February 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 6, 2014 All good advice, and here's some more for what it's worth. Find a good Licensed massage therapist, tell them what happened. Well worth the 2 or 3 visits to get everything straitened out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted February 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2014 When your muscles are sore and you want to streatch (great advice), use microwaveable heating pads to first warm up the area you want to work on. I bought mine at Wally Market. And don't forget about "better living through chemistry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ej90vfr Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Man that sucks! I have been lucky enough to not hit a car that way came really close a few times. Glad your ok. People and their crappy driving is why my bike does not get ridden as much as she used too. I just do not want to take the chance in wrecking her. Or someone knocking her over in a parking lot. Already happened once before. My favorite is the guy sitting on your bike with the kick stand up checking it out. I flipped out after I put down the kick stand. Our VFR's are like classic cars now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vguy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My brother hit the tarmac avoiding a van that pulled out in front of him about 10 years ago. He hurt his wrist and a few scratches (not as bad as yours). He got $150k and his Harley fixed. 150k was the van driver's insurance payout limit. Your injuries could haunt you forever because of this idiot that they insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VietHorse Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Oh hell... It's serious crash. May you share with us what did you think and said while flying?
