I think if someone ran a red light on me and i could get up... I would be paying pain and suffering to them forever.

Where do you live that any type of settlement takes less than 2 months!

As a recepient of a settlement, and seen many firsthand, it's never quick and painless. More like a pain in the ***, then most times you never get what you were told, and get even less after attorneys fees.

+1 on the used bike...

Think of it this way - spend around $3K on a, "beater" F4i and track that bitch when you get your new one.

3.5 will just about get you an 08 250 Ninja. That would be one that you could VERY easily sell.

Age old debate my young friend. However, the new '08 are cool as hell! Plus, those things seems to hold their value pretty well. I think it is a great idea, but if not, go used, go used, go used!!! Keep us posted.

If I just crashed my bike, I wouldn't be looking to startoff on the top of the heap either. You are smart to get a used bike, youwill like it enough to not want to get a new bike for a long time. You'll save tons of money. Plus by the time you actually know how to ride with any competence, the next models will be out and your decision will be easier because you'll have experience and a pile of cash, maybe an 848 it is in your future.

Get a nice used bike, save your money, plus chicks don't know the difference between an 04 or an 07 or a RR or a R6 or a ducati or a MV, so the most important thing is to GET ON TWO WHEELS NOW and go get some hotties!!!! Summer is HERE, get some chicks, listen to some Jan and Dean music hang out at the beach with Moon-doggie and Annette and her friends...STOP SCREWING AROUND...LIFE IS SHORT.

Ummm CA, OK, and now NY.. the last wreck i was in was a guy running a red light in CA.. it took 8 days and i had a blank check sent to the repair shop where i took my car.. it was about $4500.. and they covered my rental car, thats why i use Progressive.

Maybe i am just lucky but i have not had any incidents take longer than a couple of weeks.

It should never take a couple of weeks, and plus if you have an attorney whos head isnt in his *** you should have had your attorneys fees included in the settlement.. sheesh.
