Better than the bike apparently...
I was involved in a Motorcycle accident this afternoon. A Kia Sportage decided she wanted to take a left into incoming traffic even though I had the right of way.
Luckily I escaped with only a sprained wrist and some scratches on my arm (miraculously, as I flew off the bike and rolled several times). My bike was not so lucky. I don't know if it's totalled... but it isn't drivable.
My Tilt flew probably another 30 feet inside it's Seido Rubberized Case and Holster.
It appears to be virtually unscathed. The case and holster has a few small scratches on it. But until I do further testing it appears the phone is good!
I highly recommend the Seido Case if you plan on getting into any motorcycle accidents!
You're lucky that the sprained wrist is all you managed to get in your fall. Good that your Tilt is a-ok but if I had a bike accident it would be the last thing I'd be worried about! Were you wearing leathers or similar? What kind of bike were you on?
I'm a few months away from buying from a '08 Ninja 250 or an '08 KLR 650, depending on my budget. I'm a little reluctant because riding is inherently dangerous, but ah, so enjoyable, not to mention that my 11MPG truck + 120 mile commute daily = i die a little at the pump. daily.
Crash!

Certainly don't plan on it, but good to know about the durability of said items. Hope your body durability is equal. I had a similar accident once (going 70 mph when someone turned left across my path, skidded 127 feet before I hit him) - felt reasonably OK the first day, but was sore as hell after 2 days! So, my advice - get lots of rest, take lots of NSAIDS.
glad to hear you're OK; it must be a real nice case!
I am glad to know that youare OK. I got rid of my bike about two years ago after t-bone'n a soccer mom. Be careful out there and get some rest.

I also am glad you are ok with no major injuries.
When I read your post, I had flashbacks to 1976...when I had a car turn in front of me. I also flew, did flips in the air and the only reason I was OK was that I landed on someone's front lawn. I didn't have a helmut on and my Honda was totaled.
The next several days will be more difficult than today. Take care of yourself and rest. You are going to be sore--very sore.

Yeah. Thanks all for the support.
I was just in jeans and a t-shirt. so all the more miraculous how unscathed I am. At this point I'm waiting for insurance to investigate evertyhing and hoping the estimate doesn't come back "totaled" as that won't be enough to replace the bike.
Let me testify that a Tilt can survive a keg stand too ;-)

Screw the MC. I got rid of mine a while back. People cant drive anymore. They dont care if your on a MC or not. They dont even look anymore. I had a MC wreck and was lucky with minor injuries but I was sore as hell for at least a week. Once the adrenaline wears off, the pain creeps in. I highly suggest lots of Advil or Excedrin. Take the insurance $ and get a big as hell truck. That way, tho other vehicles reap the pain and not you.
Seriously, keep moving so the pain won't creep in too bad. If not, things will just hurt more.
Yeah, I refuse to drive my bike to/from work simply because I know i'll get hit... friggin people expect a bike to fly or something and they try to move right into you... even when you leave it at 4,000 rpm's and make lots of noise...

Yeah...I keep giving people too much credit. I'd like a big truck, but it's not too conducive to city living.
Luckily I was at the gym this morning and was stretched out pretty well which probably helped not strain anything else too bad.
If the bike comes back totaled and I just get a check I'm not sure what I will do. My g/f was right behind me on her bike...so she won't have a riding partner if I give it up.
Depending on how long it all takes with the insurance I might not need to make a decision until next summer.
HaHaHa, I bought a (not-so-big) truck after getting rif of my bike. I never bought the wife a bike because she could never get comfortable in traffic when two-up. Chicago is miles better that Baton Rouge though. You are sooo close to the home of Harley and people are just a bit more aware.
Thank god the Tilt is OK!!!!!
lol im just kidding. thank god your ok too lol.
im sure if your tilt wasnt in a case then it wouldnt be ok.

Seriously...My bike has insurance... but they wouldn't cover any personal property that was also damaged in the accident.
Even if the other driver is found to be at fault (which the should be...but we all know how that goes..) I'm sure the rinky dink insurance company they are with isn't going to cover it either.

glad to hear your ok..
however, if your willing to try to get e new phone... someone might lend you a smashed tilt to claim or just tell them you lost it
there is a sky for tilts??..
they can see God's tilt??
because God has a tilt (or a TyTN II) with drivers and not an iPhone.
and we should ask God for the drivers (with a little help of a dead tilt!)((then ressurecting it and Presto!))

Glad to hear that the Seidio rubberized case is such a great case. Even better to hear that you're ok. Get lots of rest Bengalih, you'll need it...
Glad to hear that you are ok, and the tilt.
But one thing I will never understand is why americans are soo fricking brainless when it comes to wearing protection gear???
Here in Sweden we have a law for it, and the insurance cost is much lower if you wear protection gear.
I my self got a Kawa ZZR1400 (ZX14-R) and I wouldn't even dare to drive it without my leather and helmet..
Anyway glad that you are OK, like the rest of them say rest alot.

Thats true. Bengalih, u have to be insane to not to wear any protection.
I once had a bicycle accident and I had scratches all over my body.
Happy to hear that u r ok and always remember: SAFETY FIRST!
I'm on the team and all, but I still need to get a little bit cooler with some more tammates (haters now-a-days. Used to be so easy when M_T_M and Mr Clown were kids. Just bop them on the head with a stick ) I'm gonna go early tomorrow to talk to the coaches and get my pads (back in M_T_M and Mr Clown's day, tey had to get these on their own. The King of the Cave didn't provide it.) and all. Got my cleats, gloves, cup, compressions shorts, and mouth guard.
People, make sure you get your kids into sports when their young so when their older, they have a TIGHT grip on it man. This sucks.
Wish me luck.
Hooters, the restaurant. Haven't tried it but what's the BIG deal about it?

ummmm well the hooters of course! the chicken is ok though the three mile island sauce is the best to me
Dude, it's trash. 10 years ago it was a bigger deal. Terrible food and lame outfits. There are crazier places, like the Tilted Kilt. But that might not be as widespread as Hooter's. Either way, it's usually a bunch of old horn dogs that can't even get it up going to get drunk and stare are scantily clad women.
I'd throw down the 'real men don't' card, but it might get ugly.

The thing is, people that I know go to Hooters for a few things:
1. The wings.
2. Sports.
3. "Sports"
4. Staring at scantily clad women.
5. Hitting on waitresses.
All of which can be easily done/obtained elsewhere.

yep, the two times I've been, I was with girls with bigger hooters than the ones that worked there
The owls, of course. If you want to see the really nice owls, you should try of a Friday or Saturday evening or on a football Sunday.
Reasons to go:
1.WINGS
2.Sport
3.Beer
4. Girls in tank tops and really short shorts with giant boobs!!! Actually in tucson there are a lot hot waiters at hooters!!

1 not good enough for the price
2 more at real sports bar
3 expensive
Just paying for scenery that ain't that great
I worked at Hooters for 8 years...as a cook & manager. I can tell you that it's hit or miss in most places. Overall, I would take hooters over chili's.

Agreed. Strip clubs are better, sports bars are better, and there are some places that serve mighty fine wings for an even cheaper price.

Yep, if you hit one up in a college town, much nicer tail. And you have a chance of actually going home with some.
Edit or also, Buffalo Wild Wings. Always sports, great beer prices, lots of choices in sauces. And great scenery that doesn't do fake flirting for a tip. I hate fake flirting and tip less cause of it.
Pics! or never happened

A gentleman never reveal his secrets. Or his partner(s) intimate secrets either.
I currently have a pair of Nike Jordan shoes (red and black) and a pair of Converse All-Stars (black and white). Today I got like a whole bunch of jeans from Aeropostale and similar brands and I doubt the Jordans will look good with them, but I don't know about the Converse (any advice on that? ). So if I'm going to get new shoes to fit those type of pants, which should I get?
jeans ? think of terry bogard and use a north star
Thread title is misleading. Shoes are what you wear when you're not playing sports. They are the footwear that potential employers will judge you by. Other men will rate you by the shoe that your feet are clad in. Women will decide whether or not you are worthy of their adoration, or their contempt, by the shoe that you chose to wear on that particular occasion.
Nike is not a shoe. Nor is Converse, They are synthetic footwear for pre-pubescent kids, or sporting apparel for those who are destined for a lifetime of agonising knee pain. They are 'trainers' at best. Anybody wearing such a 'shoe' outside of a sporting arena has the same fashion sense as a man in a Saville Row suit, wearing white socks.
You will not get hired. Your peers will sneer at you. You will not get laid. At best, you will hired as an 'Extra' in any second-rate TV or Movie production as Hoodlum number 13, no doubt attired with a matching pair of baggy jeans with a crotch that hangs somewhere below your ankles.
Real shoes look equally as good with an Armani suit as they do with a pair of Armani jeans. Real shoes make you look like a man. Anything less and you look like a tasteless tosspot that was dressed by his mother.
That is all.

Real men don't stress over shoes, and don't spend hours contemplating and seeking advice over which pair to buy. If your not in and out of a shoe store in 10 minutes, well...
I'm guessing that you love your Crocs?

Yeah well I'm a teenager. I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not trying to get a job. I don't plan on moving around a lot with those types of shoes and risking getting them dirty and ugly. And I already have "real" shoes. And I really don't think those shoes would fit Aeropostale, Hollister, or Ecko apparel. Definitely not Ecko. I know how to dress properly for different occasions. I just don't want to spend too much time looking at "shoes" that I won't get or don't like. And the only reason I'm looking for shoes is because it's the only thing I can ask for, since my dad keeps asking me what I want for a present. I would gladly ask for nothing, but then I don't want to sound like an asshole to him.

I am intrigued by this option and just wondering if anyone has one and what their thoughts were. Pics if ya have one would be sweet.
I'd like to see pics too, not that I could ever get it as I'm not on Verizon. It looks really cool though.
I am planning on getting this Tomorrow at a Verizon store if it is indeed offered in store.....I hope that it looks better in person then it does in all those "rendered" shot on the web currently....I don't think I could order it without seeing it in person first...we'll see though.
I played with one. Its similar to the Cognac but more orange. It definitely does look like a football, kinda corny in my opinion.
Pulled the trigger on it, got a sick deal online. Looks awesome. Its a deep red/brown and looms exactly like a football. I really like it because that's one of my favorite colors of leather...even if it is corny haha.
Was in the store this morning, took some pics for you....I did not buy it because they did not have any in stock.....I will say that the football leather is not tacky/sticky...it was slippery but still had a nice feel to it.
Thanks! I actually got mine this and and it looks just as good as in the pics. Def glad I went with it.
Awesome, glad you like it....
Damn, that looks great and totally pisses me off that it's only on Verizon.
I would have done it too if it wasn't a Verizon exclusive, it looks really nice. Would be nice too if the accent color could be customized.
