Sure...in 3-5 years, less attorney’s fees, provided the driver has any assets.

First, no, they absolutely do NOT require Uninsured Motorist. And in TX, its an insanely expensive add-on.

Declined UM because its crazy expensive in TX, health coverage has a ridiculously high deductible.

Not at all.

Yeah, its pretty messed up. Ben is like a brother to me, and we’re all doing everything we can for him, but this is just a completely left-field situation, you know?

His car insurance? He was in his house.

Cited for failure to maintain financial responsibility, a ticket.

Can be, yes. But Texas is a summary judgment state. He can get an award from the judge, and the courts will hit the driver’s bank account one time and one time only to take possession of what assets are available at the time. And that’s it.

A strong second for the Garage. Wrenching your own bike is not only the best way to know your machine, but also a great way to save $ that you then spend on safety gear.

Seriously, what’s it gonna take to get Buzz Killington banned? Jesus Diaz got the banhammer for pretty much the exact same dismissive, know-it-all shit talking. I’m not saying the dude should be permabanned, but send him to the showers on this one.

You mean like how you rudely dismissed Kat’s intelligent and accurate responses to you with “nyah, nyah, you’re wrong, grow up”?

First, let me just say that you’re my new favorite person on the internet for having such a cogent and well reasoned explanation of what’s really going on.

You’re fun at parties, aren’t you?

What Sideways said. FA is the best thing on an already wonderful site, you guys are doing good work.
