Unfortunately, the guy didnt pony up any cash. I gave him the opportunity to make things right. However he felt that I was in the wrong for going too fast, and seemingly "ride right into him". I was holding my line, and he is the one who slid out into me. Oh well. I could have pressed litigation, however I personally think too much suing occurs, so I just chalked it up to experience. Remember, what comes around, goes around. He'll be judged by a higher power someday, and he'll get his in the end.
I got forks and wheel from someone on this board that had an extra set. I had to get a new silencer, and get the pipe fixed. All of the other stuff I was gonna do myself anyway.
