One bad afternoon. By crazedfox (Read 554 times)

Whelp,
 Afternoon starts by being 30 miles out from home with spouse.
We get nearly cut off by truck @ intersection, we had to make a quick stop while making turn.
I made the turn, my spouse ended up laiding her bike down & jamming her knee + getting road rash to boot.

Short story.
Got her & scoot out of roadway,
police recommends EMS, spouse agrees.
She goes to hospital.

No choice but leave scoot about 5 feet from side of road near grass,
lock scoot steering column, & put lock cable through front wheel & wrap cable around front body.
Then go to make sure my spouse is ok @ hospital.

I get to hospital about 6 Mi from the intersection.
Then we both are @ hospital for 6-1/2 Hrs.

X-rays, doctor checks up her,
then she's cleared ok with only scrapes, & a so-so banged knee.

We both ride on my scoot 6-Mi back to the intersection where this all started.
Only to find, no scoot.

Call police, then police impound yard,
spend 40-min on phone, to find the reality is...
The scooter has been stolen.

So... both of us is forced to ride my scoot all the 30-miles back home.
One crappy, sore butt inducing, long ride home.

So now I'm stuck back with one scooter for a family of three again.
& to put in rough terms, I've been robbed of the equivalent of $300, & two weeks of hard work.

Thanks to any that put up with my rant here.
It helps me to get this off my back, & my mind.

No-one has to respond to this, it was just some way for me to vent.

Later.

Crazedfox, hang in there, know how, these days go believe me. Main thing is both you and the Mrs are alive and well. Hope you can find the thieves and get justice.

Yep.

Sorry to hear about your trouble crazedfox, glad wife is ok, hope they find scooter.

[crazedfox]

Since,
I didn't have any insurance on the scoot. & there is no need for registration on 50cc or less here in the state of Ky.

The likely chance of the scoot being found is the same for a stolen store brand bike.
Which is like 12%.
It's highly likely that it was picked up then cut-up for scrapping/recycling.

I'm just having to deal with that realality.
I've started working on saving up & keeping an ear out for a trike that I might be able to find for easy fixing.

sorry to hear that. the even worse part is its probably more like 1.2percent since it wasn't registered.

[crazedfox]

*sigh*
Yep.

[crazedfox]

I can now work on looking for a trike scooter now.
So my spouse won't lean the wrong way in a turn.
(She tends to lean with-scoot in slow turns, instead of leaning just-the-scoot itself.)
