ya, I am fine. I guess they were a little confused as they were heading back to Calgary and at the intersection you turn one way to go to hope and the other way to go to Merritt. since there was no sign pointing to Calgary they were just going to back up into the rest stop and ask directions. Very nice couple about my age with two nice daughters. to bad we had to meet this way though.
When the cop was done with them (about 3 hours after the incident) he asked me how I was so calm... I simply said "I am to old and life is to short to get worked up over something like this."

but what is making me mad is the dragging of the feet by the appraiser. I could have been riding again about now... but the insurance company hasn't got the appraisal yet. They already told me the other couple admitted fault and they are going to fix it, just the formality of the paperwork holding things up.

So I found out Tuesday morning the insurance company authorized HD to go ahead and fix the bike, so the parts were ordered last week. hopefully I'll get it back before my holidays are over so I can take a trip. and the best news is they didn't try disputing any of the damage.

Sorry to hear you're missing out on much of our short riding season. It's times like that I'm glad I have two bikes so I can still ride if one is down for repairs.
