So it took me quite awhile to get the racetech springs in, change fork oil, bleed brakes, and put new front pads on. It prob shoulda taken 3hrs max but unfortunatly i bought a 12" bolt from loews for the nut extraction on the bottom of the forks. So it wound up taking hours b/c it was raining on and off and i was working outside. When i drove my roomates jeep to the loews to get a new bolt, upon leaving i got into a fender bender w/ some women. It wasn't too bad so im hoping she won't try to sue me considering i have no money being a college student. Anyway i finally got back home after the tow truck place convinced me that the airbag would go off on the ride home, blow out the windshield and cause an accident. Now im not an idiot but i was 98% sure a 93 jeep cherokee doesnt have air bags unless its the limited(which it wasn't). The women was pregnant ontop of this and wanted to get checked out at the hospital. I hit her going about 10-15mph on the front left corner of her car with my front right corner. I just hope she doesn't try to screw me over :mad:. Anyway if any of you have some great advice ill take it. Ive been driving for almost 7years and never got into an accident, not even any tickets other than parking. Some good news though is i got the bike all together and working properly all by myself w/o a manual. I just read and printed out a bunch of threads and it was easy. Just need the right tools.

p.s. the towing never told me how much it would cost, they kept saying "if he(my roomate) has full coverage its covered". I wasn't sure if he had full coverage(which he didnt) and i kept asking and they kept stalling me. They ripped me off for $275 for not even a full 24hrs of being in their lot since it was there from 6pm to 11am(they call that 2 callender days of storage). Im so pissed at them :2guns:, lieing no good as#wipes taking what little money i have.

Man that sucks I hope she doesn't try and take you to the cleaners.  Glad you got your bike all together now.  :thumb:

Thats why I have full coverage on every vechile I have ever owned, to many people not paying attention driving, people to willing to sue you for a minor dent, driving without a license and the list goes on and on.  The only way to protect yourself is with full coverage.  It's a pain when you don't have the extra money but I'd rather skip out on doing other stuff I enjoy so I can have full coverage.

Hope it all works out for you.

Yeah and it's pure BS what the towing company did to you about the air bag exploding on your ride home.  I have never heard of an air bag exploding after an accident while you were driving home.

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.
