So I'm a little bit late in getting this on the boards but two weeks ago tomorrow some ******* in a Honda Civic decided that even though I was in the right lane turning right from one street to another and was waiting for traffic to clear he wanted my space in the road and decided to rear end my trike. He pushed me about 15 feet into the intersection, thank God there was no traffic at that point.
Lucky for me he did pull off into the Circle K convenience store parking lot with me and I demanded to see his drivers license, insurance, and that then asked him for his phone. He is a guy from Iran and asked me why I needed his phone and I acted like I just need to call the police or something. He handed me his phone and I immediately discovered that he was texting at the intersection instead of paying attention to what he should be doing which was driving. Because I was holding the clutch in naturally my left arm was sprained (If anybody has ever had tennis elbow, that's what this feels like. It is only painful when I gripped something or try to list something a certain way but it has interfered with my exercise schedule) and he did about thousand dollars of damage to my trike. I will say that my bumper did exactly what it was supposed to and held up perfectly. The damages to the fiberglass where the bumper is attached to this trike body which is dented and I have to have it all pulled out. Luckily for me (especially in Arizona were so many people are not insured), he has good insurance. I will let you guys know things as they happen. My trike is going on Monday to have it fixed, three days without it is going to suck.
