    fucking good day today.
    New for old approved. Trooper Lu's has one the same colour (the 2015 models look worse to me).
    And my insurance company will tow my existing bike to troopers, let me swap everything over, then tow the broken one away again.
    Fucking awesome.

    So a good day yesterday - got a call from the delivery company saying they could bring the bike over, so when i get home, its in the garage for me.
    the first 3 are how bad the break was, and the last one is the new MT in the garage.
    Trooper Lu's were fucking brilliant, and Youi has been great, too.

    Still cant ride it yet - seeing the surgeon on 10/3 for the next xray, then the GP next friday for workers comp cert, etc.
    it's getting closer though.

    so my arm is officially unbroken, says the surgeon.
    still have to work on grip strength (52 left hand, 18, right hand) and flexibility. the flexibility is pretty poor, my wrist is LAMS approved - instead of screws in the throttle to lower the power, I've got screws in my arm.
    doc reckons 3 weeks or so before i can ride, but since its workers comp, its up to the physio, and GP.

    Well if you're lying on the shoulder then the front is in the left lane for sure. Can't see the back one. Am I guessing they are trying to claim you were in the wrong lane? Insurance trying to pull the escape cord?

    Nah, insurance is good.
    The other driver is saying I hit her stationary car in the left lane (where my feet are).
    My head is in the right lane, and so are my wheels. The headlight on an mt09 is about 900 or a metre high, and it's lying on the line that divides left and right lanes - 2 lanes in each direction on this road.
    HRd to hit a car in the left lane if I'm in the right lane. Unless she swerved into my lane. Then it's easy.
