Law Tigers are a national firm and support many, many motorcycle events around the country. I have no first hand knowledge of them. Good luck with all of this, but as a footnote I really hate attorneys, have needed them two times and each were a problem almost as bad as the issue I hired them for. Each guy I used was based on a referral so there you go.

Good comment, Knuck. My one experience was weird to say the least, but the outcome was (I think) worth the trip. Anymore, you can throw a rock in your neighborhood and hit a lawyer, or a legal assistant. It's the litigious country we live in and the neo-caveman hierarchy have evolved into.

Thanks KNUCK, I know. I feel the same way. Hi exeric, a necessary evil?

....a necessary evil?

So I was rear-ended by a little ol' lady from Tiskilwa in a Chrysler, Folks....

This was a quarter-century ago, but still a lesson;

My counsel recouped me next to nothing for my crushed ankle, loss of productivity, etc.
But I dealt directly with the opposing insurance company for the machine, writing my own damage appraisal, and the agent printed me out a check for the full amount on the spot... And I kept the machine.

There's a lot more to the story, but you get the point,

You have my sympathies, thoughts and best wishes for your complete and speedy recovery FNG.

On a slight tangent here but I'd like to say something about how I felt after having my freshly restored bike smashed from behind by an inattentive reefer-reeking stoner. Yes... I was happy and thankful not to have been more seriously injured or worse. I recognize the sacred and irreplaceable nature of life! And I appreciate and understand it when well-meaning people point out that fact and attempt to cheer you up by saying "things can be repaired or replaced, people can't".

All true. But some of us put our blood, sweat tears, time, 'heart and souls' into these old bikes. We (at least I) sometimes develope an attachment to them, right or wrong. When some ignorant moron* causes them harm, there is a real sense of loss.

So FNG, I'm also offering my best wishes for the complete recovery of your old bike.

*The advice to restrict your comments on the net is solid so I'm saying it for you.

Hi droptopford, thanks for the kind words.
