Took my last ride on Sunday.

Just an update on the status of the hit and run coked out drunk driver who hit me.  Today was her second day in jail of a 11.5-23 month sentence  (of course she'll get out sooner with good behavior and will also get work release).  Only took 14 month from when she hit me to when she plead guilty.

I never forget what the father in Texas said after he killed the SOB that molested and killed his son. "At least I did something".......

I've simply moved on.  No point harboring hate as it just makes me a drag to be around (although I'm getting some ink on my bad shoulder  for my closure next week).  Still have 2 more surgeries on the horizon, a hip labrum tear and a shoulder labrum tear.  The hip will come in the spring and likely leave the bike unused for 3-6 months.  Still miss my 885i and even though the 955i is so much better and more refined, it just doesn't feel like "my bike".

Glad to see you're moving on Brother, I hope I have your fortitude if the day ever comes 

I only wonder what other damage she might have done in that time.

This whole sorry story just reinforces the reality that a significant number of drivers in North America take no pride in the 'craft' that is operating a motor vehicle. Apart from the drunk drivers out there, now we are having to contend more and more with 'distracted' drivers who think it is acceptable to drive with a cell phone stuck to their ear.

And the really tragic thing is that this attitude starts right at the beginning of a novice drivers career. I've lost count of the number of times I have been verbally abused at the end of a road test by a driver who has not qualified, who berates me for pointing out that they sped through a controlled speed zone or made an unsafe turn at an intersection. They usually say that it should not be a big deal because "everybody does it".

Not just North America
