get well soon man!!! Back in 09 I was heading west on 72nd between 1st and 2nd. My first Ducati, brand new 848 3 days old. About halfway down the block a towncar pulled a U turn right into me as if i wasnt even there. Got thrown across his hood and my bike landed right on top of me after flipping and flying over the car lol. Havent ridden a motorcycle in the city since other than to get the hell out during non rush hour times. My vespa on the other hand gets a ton of use on surface streets. The number of "close calls" ive had on my vespa that would have been horrible accidents on my ducati make me rethink even riding a vespa around with all these crazy cabs and horrible drivers
