I have an attorney, and it looks like we'll be suing. He says he's never seen an insurance company as aggressive as AAA is being towards me. Their insured is 100% at fault, she even admitted fault at the scene.hooples3 said:

Thanks, it looks a lot like what I'm facing.
Everyone spread the word AAA is agressively anti-cyclist.
Dude their job is to give you as little money as possible. It's your job to get as much money as possible. Go talk to a lawyer. Sue them for a few million plus your lawyer costs. Gotta play the game as much as it sucks.Reactor said:

That's pretty much what my lawyer said, without any figures. She's 100% at fault, there's no question at all, and we'll probably end up filing suit but in the end it's just going to end up hurting them.

Good point.
They are still dickheads.
Took advantage of the 'cool' front and hit the trails at 6:30 this morning. Now it is nap time.

We had a crappy night last night.
Like everybody else we are suffering from the heat wave. I think we hit 99 yesterday with the heat index around 110. Around 6:30 pm a big t-boomer rolled through and knocked out the power. It didn't come back on until around 6:30 am this morning. Christ it was hot. Sleep was impossible. Wife was cranky. It was no fun. The upside was that I got to eat 1/2 gallon of ice cream that was trying its best to melt.

Hey, Reactor....
I'm sorry to say I have no legal advice to give you, but I feel really bad for your situation and I hope everything works out for you. Did you at least end up getting a new bike?

. Where are you guys heading?
Good morning all.
Not much going on today. Meeting bluebug for lunch, then we're going to ride this evening, hopefully a good long ride. Other than a ride, that's probably all that's planned for this evening.
Last night involved some very good ribs and putting together furniture. It was actually fun. And the thunder storms ripped through here and tore trees down and such, so today's trail ride should be interesting to say the least.

I purchased a really nice replacement bike (Specialized Roubix comp triple), but haven't been compensated yet. The insurance company send me a $418 check for a $2000 bike, upgraded wheels jersey,shorts,camelbak, helmet, HRM, and assorted parts, saying I was at fault. On the memo line of the check was "FINAL PAYMENT FOR PROPERTY LOSS".bluebug32 said:
Needless to say my attorney laughed and sent it back.
Nah, I just let them squirm :devil: LOLCrazy Sweeper said:
Sweet! I think we're riding at 4:30pm or 5pm. We generally hit the Party Glass afterward too...you're more than welcome to join us.McGRP01 said:Tomorrow night? See you then!!
Sooo was he fired because they were smoking a bowl instead of a pinner since rolling one is a requirement?Greyhound said:...
My younger brother came by yesterday and was all bumming 'cause he got fired from his construction job. He and some of the crew got busted smoking a bowl at lunch. .... But then again....this IS the construction business---where your ability to roll a pinner is a requirement for employment......
Ahhhh....thsoe boys, not my boys. Gotcha! Wish I could, but I work until 6pm so I'm heading out with the usual suspects around 6:30.TreeSaw said:

Dunno.....maybe the dude that busted them preferred pinners over bowls......maybe it was better weed than what he was holding---who knows. Either way, not so good of an outcome for my brother. But, the downside for the framing crew was that they fired 4 guys total. All experienced and capable framers that just so happen to have a penchant for the sticky-icky. Meh.....it happens.
At least construction is a fairly good business to get re-established in, as opposed to the corporate world.Greyhound said:

Despite the fact that cyclists are doing something great for their health (when American's are packing on the pounds) and for the environment, we still don't seem to be taken seriously or respected for what we do.
Morning
Get to replace yet another deraillieur today.

Ha! That's funny.........just thinking about my brother and the corporate world in the same sentence make me chuckle. But hey....if you're a "C" student, and you do drugs, you too just might become president!!!
Thanks! Everything is edible except the lure. I decided it would be a pain to try to duplicate so I grabbed on at the store on my way home to decorate. Hopefully he likes it!Greyhound said:That freakin' cake rawks!! I'm very impressed.
Well then, I've still got a chance.Greyhound said:Ha! That's funny.........just thinking about my brother and the corporate world in the same sentence make me chuckle. But hey....if you're a "C" student, and you do drugs, you too just might become president!!!
I know a couple guys in the construction bit, and they've found work pretty easily after being "let go" for various reasons....
So...if he DOES eat the lure thinking it's an edible decoration, do we get pics of the irony?TreeSaw said:

Good Morning/Afternoon Monkies!
My bikes are loaded on the back of my truck and I am not so patiently counting down the hours before I get to head out to Mammoth.
Have a good day everyone!
