My surgeon, in the States - the most incredibly talented man, but VERY anti motorcycle.
He says he has to fix soooooo many bike riders!!!

116,000 miles wow thats the highest mileage motorcycle I have ever heard of and I am surprised that was your choice for a big trip of the type you took ,

Warning on the "grusome pics" they are bad really bad

Well, just because the hospital bills you $300,000 doesn't necessarily mean they can make you pay it. I was once told by a doctor after breaking my foot to just let the insurance I had pay what it would, and when I got billed for the difference to ignore the bill. It worked.

In your case, had you not had insurance, you could have negotiated with the hospital, explaining your situation, and almost certainly had the bill reduced substantially. A friend who recently went through cancer treatment was uninsured, and everyone involved immediately gave him a 50% discount because of that. Often/usually the hospital sets its fees based on many things other than the actual cost of treatment plus profit.

I'm not an expert in this matter, but I've seen enough evidence to believe what I'm saying is true.

Your board name, M6NTL, looks like a British amateur radio call sign, so I thought you were likely to be a ham. "73" is shorthand for "best regards" and de is shorthand for "from", when transmitting by Morse Code. AA3DN is my call sign.

Wow, never realised that. Still mightily glad I had good insurance though!
Sorry to disappoint on the radio ham side of things - not the first time my username has been thought of as such.
It is actually my car registration plate/number. Here in the UK we don't have the freedom to choose tags as flexibly as in the States, we are stuck with a very defined series of letters and numbers. Some of us try to make words from these, and mine is meant to look something like 'mental' - this is something of a subject that divides opinions, some people like these 'personalised registrations', other people think we're idiots!
If I cared what other people think about me, I'm sure that might bother me!!!

Oh absolutely, that's the right way to handle things.


I might have asked you before.


I've always just let the motor vehicle office pick mine. I figure the less it's cute and funny and easy to remember, the less likely some nut I accidentally cut off in traffic will hunt me down.


A psychologist once told me that not being concerned about what others think is an indication of being secure with one's self, contributing to happiness. As I remember, he brought it up when he saw that I had driven my '74 Vega to the party and parked it where it could be seen.
