I'll give you more in-depth answer later, but quickly - none of that has to do with defense costs, that's all plaintiff costs. Also, just a quick reminder — plaintiff isn't paying her a dime for her time per se, she's on contingency.

heeeyoooo

This won't, or certainly shouldn't, be crafted as RR vs. one biker; you have to see RR actions as a response to the group as a whole. The question then becomes what duty of care does RR owe the group and if so given the circumstances would a reasonable man have acted in the same way.

I'm not entirely sure RR owed the…

I can't even see a picture of Triumph without laughing.

That doesn't mean he's at fault? I still disagree, this case is primed for the insurance company to say let's try it. Without seeing anything but the video and knowing nothing else, they have a pretty good shot at verdict of RR wasn't negligent in the way he acted.

Every single bit of this will be in — most likely under prior bad acts (in conformity with 404(b) http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/rule…) — but it may even come in to prove conformity therewith (habitual behavior is an exception).

should this maybe come with a graphic label or something?

I haven't gone over and read the article they're referencing here, but I would doubt that that cost is just materials and labor. I would imagine a great deal of the cost is still R&D being spread out over such a limited production line.

Sure secret service is one problem, but I have a funny feeling that Obama is a "are we there yet? How far away is your secret hideout? I have to pee, can we pull over?" kind of guy.

As an attorney, I have a talk like this with a client 2-3 times a month.

in profile it almost reminds me more of the 959 with the front end of a datsun z.
