Interesting change in avatar there Todd Are you trying to imply or allude to something? I hope it's not meant to threaten or intimidate Kevin Might I suggest you rethink that one, under the current circumstances

I grabbed that off that zx10 site too Case

I'll add a new one after last night..... Drunk drivers.... Especially ones who try killing my family!

Good lookin' out Ben You goin' with us?

Not sure I made the guy an offer.... Waiting to see if he accepts

I guess this guy is 40'ish, so he should know better.... Especially after the first 3 times Cop told us tonight this guy claims he didn't even know he hit anybody

Ohhhh.... But wait.... It gets better yet. We went over to where the truck is & got some pix. His girlfriend, who claimed he stole the truck from her last night, must be a roofer, because truck is fitted with ladders & racks I talked with one of his/her/their neighbors, who filled me in that her boyfriend, coincidentally, is a roofer Pictures to follow after I mow the yard

Police just dropped off the accident info for us, & shared that this is the guy's FOURTH DUI/OVI!! Got some pictures of his truck tonight.... Still waiting for the tow company to let us in their garage to get pix of our car. Ins co is leading me to believe it may be totaled

Thanx for the offer Yeah.... That's what we're doing right now, including their ER visits last night, & the rental car we're getting Just got off the phone with our ins co, & it sounds like they may be totaling it out. Getting ready to head out & get some pix hopefully. Also found out that the girlfriend has somehow gotten the truck out of impound, even though I swear FPD told me last night it would be there for 24 hours

Thanks for all the expressions of concern everybody.... Few of you had me mistin' up a bit And now the hassles begin Been on the phone with both insurance companies today. Apparently truck is titled in a woman's name, & she is claiming that our drunk stole it, so now the insurance company listed last night is holding off on paying anything, including a rental car, until she files a police report..... Or not. Apparently it can take several weeks to sort this out, & in the meantime, our insurance has to cover everything if we want repairs to begin, rental car, etc. Not even sure how all this plays out if it's totaled, as all we'd paid was interest on it so far, & still owe more than it's worth

Let me start off by saying that by the grace of God, some miracle, karma, good Chrysler engineering, pure luck, etc.... Everyone's OK So my wife & sons got hit head-on shortly after 7:00 tonight on the way to the park, by a left of center drunk driver who valued my family so little he immediately proceeded to flee the scene without any concern if he'd killed/injured them. My soon to be 16 year old was driving with his temps, & my 4 year old was in the back, buckled in his car seat. Thank God for that new Ohio law outdating the former 4 years old/40lb rule! I get the phone call & arrive at the scene to find a plethora of police & fire, & the whole front driver's side corner smashed back to the door, rear door won't open, windshield smashed, tire flat with a rip/tear in sidewall, bent rim, & mirror/door handles completely tore off. Eyewitnesses say his truck looked every bit as bad. Tried to get pix tonight, but wrecker put the car inside, so those'll have to wait 'til tomorrow I've already pretty much written off society/humanity, & this is the icing on the cake However.... Here's the other side of the story tonight that makes me tear up with how many people went out of their way to help my family. Turns out guy in truck had just cut a lady off right before he hit & ran my family. She pulled over & stayed to complete a witness report with police, saying my son did nothing wrong & truck guy was left of center. Guy who lives on corner of accident also gave up part of his evening to describe everything to police, & once they caught truck driver, even offered to go with police to ID him for us. He also told of a white minivan who'd been behind the truck IIRC, who immediately took up pursuit. He said it was glued to the truck's bumper as it sped away. Word came over the radio shortly later, that this couple had followed the guy all the way home, where he ran in the house, after some crazy passing & offroading once he figured out they were on his tail. They then blocked the entrance to his road, & told 911 the address. Cops on the scene dismissed them upon arrival, but dispatcher called back & said perp had come out of the house, & asked the couple to go back & ID him, which they did. This couple then came all the way back to the accident scene to tell us what'd happened & that they caught him. I go over to shake hands & thank them, & the husband is hugging me! Turns out they almost lost their son several years ago to a drunk driver. Other friends in his car weren't so lucky & didn't make it The wife literally starts shaking as she's telling us about her son & their similar incident My wife had tried calling me as soon as it happened, then 911, but said she was having a hard time focusing to dial 911, as she was so shaken up. There's a trailer park across the street.... Not a fancy, nice one, but rather older, rundown trailers. My wife said a woman had her head out the trailer window yelling to her that she'd already called 911 & asking if T wanted an ambulance sent out too. Never judge a book by it's cover All these strangers gave up time out of their evenings tonight to get involved & come together for my family. Had it not been for the tenacity of the couple in the minivan.... Who knows if this guy would've ever been found. Findlay's a relatively small town, but just big enough. They put themselves in possible harm's way for people they didn't even know, & I am eternally grateful! I'm just amazed at how the goodness of people was so evident tonight, & how cynical I've been becoming lately As it stands..... The police tell me the guy blew a .176.... Over twice the legal limit. He's been charged with OVI, & is spending the night in jail, with his truck being impounded. I think they said his license is pulled too. I got the distinct impression from the officer that this isn't the perp's first rodeo. I'll find out more tomorrow when we get the driver info with his name. Someone will have to tell me where to plug it in at on the web to find out if he's got priors I'm just dumbfounded about how incredibly lucky myself & our family is tonight; painfully aware of how I could easily be a widower right now, along with burying my eldest & youngest.... Who as I'm typing this, is angelically sleeping on the couch right next to me Those of you who know me & how I am with my kids, know I probably wouldn't ever recover from that one. Just thinking about how close it came has me emotional as I type this Tell your friends & loved ones what they mean to you.... They can be taken in an instant No regrets

Looking forward to the pix

I need a pill that dulls my tastebuds so I have no incentive to eat anymore other than for fuel One of you fart smuckers on here, invent that for me please

You won't like him when he's angry Moose!

Shut your whore mouth.... Fucker

Seems to me you can file your slander charges with the cops, when you're talking to them about the titling of said XR100, & whom you sold it to. This all seems pretty cut & dry to me.... Who's name is on the title, & who possesses the title, & was the bike sold with or without said title Have the cops interviewed you yet Todd, & have you provided them with the above info, 'cause it sounds like there's been some "issues" in their being able to get ahold of you guys?? I wanna take a test ride on the XR100

If that's intended for me.... I just asked a question based on what I'd heard, & the conspicuousness of no mention of a member going down on here Would you rather I give you the courtesy of asking you directly here in open forum like I did, or talk shit gossiping & speculating behind peoples' backs... Say in a social group page?? I can play it either way.... Just let me know

Which is why this guy is probably being inundated with offers from ambulance chasing class action attorneys just chomping at the bit to take this case on contingency for him Hell.... I had offers from Cleveland & cBus attorneys when I had my motorcycle accident 6 years ago

Pure awesomesauce!

That's when it's decision time..... Get lit & party all night, or go sleeepy time & take nappy

+1 I could go alllll night
