victory!!
this morning over pop-tarts and reruns I got a call from the insurance claim adjustor. They decided that I was 50% at fault and thus deserved 50% of what I asked for. I let them know this was totally un-acceptable. (Did their client 50% break the law and then 50% hit me?) and that I would have to hire a personal injury litigator in order to get a fair judgment. An hour later I got a call that they would give me 100%! So hey the truth plus sympathetic bike mechanics can equal success.
10 mins later I was out riding my brand new Bianchi pista that I bought the day before. Have to say its good to be riding fixed again and to know my credit card'll get some emergency relief just in time for the christmas/chaunakah/kwanza/chinese-new-year season.
