Did he stop? Cops called? Heal quickly, get a lawyer.

Hang in there Mojo!
Went through something similar in 08 and don't wish it on anyone.

Make sure to follow up with things that don't resolve themselves physically. Heal, glad you are still with us.......

[OtayBW]

Geez - best of luck to you, and I hope you get this joker to account!

[makoti]

Heal fast, bikes can be replaced. What OP said... lawyer up.

[Spinner]

Rest and heal Doc.

Recovery first, lawyer asap.

[jghall]

Ditto. Far too many times that I'm a bit anxious when I head out nowdays. Glad you're ok.

[ultraman6970]

Good you are writing.... hope everything goes ok and you recover quick.

[Wilkinson4]

I hope your hip is ok. Recover well and let us know what happens. Everyone be careful out there.

Did this guy hit and run?

Holy Smokes! Lucky to be able to type to us. I've 'been there, done that, got the scars (no T-shirt). +1,000 on the lawyer.

I was hit from behind while making a left turn off of one road onto another road. The offender left 133 feet of skid marks before impact. Witnesses say that I flew approx. 25 ft (horizontally) and about 6 feet (vertically) through the air before impact with the pavement on the OTHER side of the intersection. I actually don't remember the flying part. Was lucky enough to escape with no broken bones, but did have copious road rash and had to have my left ear repaired by a plastic surgeon as the external part was cut so badly that the cartilage was exposed.

Rule of Thumb: Don't sign ANYTHING yet! Plenny of time to deal with the legalities. At least you did have a buddy along. Just get yourself healed.
