    If you mean - they should pay for your gear, I’d say that’s a yes. But only because the gear is critical to riding and they caused it to be damaged. Not because it reduces their cost in an accident.
    But extra money because your gear saved them medical costs? That seems weird.
    Yeah they should, and in fact, there are a couple of companies that advertise that you get a lower and lower deductible for going accident free.

    Do we want a separate MotoGP thread for this year or do we just chuck it in here with all the other mudderbike stuff?

    That said,

    Spoiler:
    Rd 1 at Qatar was a fuckin ripper. The closest top ten finish in years, and a masterful performance by Dovi. He has really matured and is a great rider now.


    Lemme know if we should continue this discussion elsewhere!

    Completely different if its YOUR company and its your premium/deductible thats reduced. I would expect that (and I rely on it - my insurance is low because I havent had an at fault accident in many many years)

    But a payout after the accident? Not so sure. Actually I am sure - its a no.
    They should cover your costs. but that is it.

    Had an MRI yesterday because this recovery has been so unpredictable, so topsy turvy, so ... out there.

    I have a tear in the cartilage of each of L4 and L5, and the tears are on opposite sides. It explains a lot.

    Gotta go to a pain specialist who will inject the sites with cortisone(?) painkillers and proteins witchcraft, magic and sorcery to speed up the recovery.

    Most likely cortisone.


    Oh yeah, that shit hurts. I figured you had something else going on after being rear-ended like you were.

    Last track day I went to was at Willow Springs, I rode the bike to and from the track from Hermosa Beach in LA, which made for a pretty long day!

    Just bought a used Kendon trailer a couple weeks ago, should make future track days a lot more pleasant. So far I'm very happy with the whole setup, seems to tow very nicely!

    I said this back when I bought the car, but I'm probably the only person who has ever said "I wanted something with more space, and it would be nice to be able to tow a trailer" about purchasing a Hyundai Accent.

Are you going to be able to make decisions, precisely, at work, in life, without fucking up the trajectory of your future? Are you going to be the guy who panics and shuts down simply because the guy behind him at McDonalds told him "dude, hurry up and pick something, i'm on my lunch here." Is this the moment, the point where the inexorable mental decline begins?"

    When I say it fucked me up royally, ... i was a mess. I hadn't eaten yet (1400 hrs,) and slept poorly the last few nights. That wasn't foremost in my thoughts at that time. I was convinced it was the beginning of a mental tailspin that would have me living in an assisted care facility in a few years. I'm morbid that way; my mind grasps an idea and then goes worst case scenario pretty quickly. But I had shit to do so I got it together.

    Later, going home from getting an MRI, i second guessed myself, turned around and started heading the wrong way (I'm still trying to get my bearings here, so often I guess my direction and check with landmarks to see if i'm getting acclimated to this place.) Didn't seem right, so I stopped and checked with my GPS; was right the first time. I'm not usually indecisive. Don't usually second guess myself, as i'm pretty logical (you live north east of Dallas, so head away from the sun as it sets in the west, etc.) Two incidents in one day freaked me out.

    The neurologist did say i had a concussion. I guess now I have to have a much more in depth conversation about cognitive issues, mental decline, etc.

    This has me thinking "lawyer." Prior to today I hadn't thought i had experienced anything that was above my paygrade.

    Maybe i'll call the shrink tomorrow instead of waiting for our next appointment next week.
