[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 224881, member: 217"] Yea, since my wife had shoulder surgery in March, that ate up all of our "family deductible" so this $103K bill was covered at 100%. And yea, totally sucks cause it was such a non-issue in "somewhere in the general area of Barstow". That was I think the problem. I am riding more cautious these days trying to protect my surgically repaired left knee. So instead of sticking it out and trying to hold all the weight of the bike and me on it, I tend to just jump off the bike and let the bike fend for itself and me just tuck and roll or whatever. In this case I was just on a hill so I fell backwards....f'n gravity. And I left my elbow guards at home. Don't know if they would have helped in this case since it was such a direct impact not a glancing blow. But, it would have been better to find out, that's what I have them for...not for decorations in the garage:banghead::banghead: [/QUOTE]
