Was rear ended last Tuesday, I was coming to a stop on Columbia blvd and this dude in his 2014 Silverado 2500 smashes into me at 40mph plus. Needless to say my Escalade was destroyed. Waiting for insurnace fallout to happen and my lawyer is dealing with the other party. I only had her for a year now she is dead, but ill buy her back and pull the engine for some other project.
Oh im pretty messed up, concussion, ears ringing, severe whiplash, head ache, upper back spinal issues, right shoulder hurts. Severe neck pain.Glad to hear you didn't get seriously hurt Cucv; rear ended at 40+ mph doesn't always end well.
They act like I'm the one in the wrong when I screech to a halt in the middle of intersection and blast the horn at them. I'm the guy with the green light, FFS!!!
I love the bicycle mantra:Couple of years ago, I was making a right turn off of interstate ave. to go down to Swan Island, some dumb arse on a bike kicked out the tail light on my Pickup because he thought he had the right of way, even though I was there first, signaling to turn, and had come to a stop, none the less, he thought it his right to kick my truck! Portland's finest saw him do it, and until I got out of my truck, they were not going to do a thing about it! After a few choice words, they came and stopped what was going to be an epic arse whuppin on that bike rider. He got a ticket, but nothing else, no insurance, no nothing, so I got to spend my hard earned money to repair the damage to my truck!
What really pizzed me off was that the bike riders have gone full nazi, they have all the rights, and motorists have to not only know all the new laws, but basically have to not drive anywhere near the bikes, even though the roads ARE for motorists!
Sounds like you need to move to more sane area!Whenever I drive to the nearby college town, I have to be on high alert for not only students randomly walking into traffic, but every manner of bad driving.
They will stop in the middle of an intersection for no reason. They will go on a red light and stop for a green light. If you dare honk at them, they will flip you off and scream at you.
Just last night on my way home from a party, I was going 30 in a 35 and nearly hit a student dressed in all black jaywalking in the middle of the road. My girlfriend gasped as I swerved at the last second. Neither of us had seen him until he was 30' away.
The stupidity level on display every time I go to town is just incredible.

I just got this one, waiting for the paperwork before I put miles in it. Just made a quick video of it+a test ride. The OD color and the steel gives the scooter a little bit of military vibe.

This is very interesting and quite good to know! Thanks for the vids!During the war, the American paratroopers actually used stripped down Cushman scooters to get around, upon entering France....
...meanwhile the British paratroopers got around on Wellbikes and Royal Enfield Flying Flea's!...
...btw, Nice bike Steve. Looks like a real honey.
They crop up every so often on Ebay and other places. Not many were made and not many are still available. I follow the Salsbury Restorers Society FB page and see the good deals posted there, however, they are always a bit out of range for my bank account! But certainly good to see they still are valued as a collectors item!I've seen those Salsbury's before.
Pretty cool to know the owner's grandson.
I'll keep my eyes peeled, but I understand those are pretty rare...so....it might be a while before I find one for you.
What? No horses?Lets see, We have in our stable. 04 Harley 1200 Sportster, 18 Ford Escape, 16 Mustang, 13 Mini-Cooper S, Two dogs...
