Can a Tilt survive a Motorcycle Accident? Yes it can.

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!

Specifically, the screen on my hero. Had to wire 4 houses today and that **** got scratched up in the crawlspaces.
Any ideas on how to fill it?

But dude, it's January. Crawlspace? You're dedicated lol.

Toothpaste vigorously applied with a qtip usually works. Make sure it's mint toothpaste, if it's tooth whitening that helps too.

can you report back on the method you use with before and after pics?

I don't have a camera, because i use my phone, but I'll try something this weekend and let you know.
As far as crawlspaces, it's actually quite warm under a house. Hell, I was putting a dish on a roof in 30degree weather yestarday. Roof was wet, cold fingers were cold.

Ok this is funny. I scratched my phone crawling through a crawlspace on Wednesday!!!! And I was running an extra Dual cable on a DirecTV KAKU upgrade... Tell me how the scratch fix works.. And you know what it is DEFINITELY warmer under a house then on the roof putting up a KAKU dish, or especially an international!!! LOL

I know how that is. I was supposed to up a KAKU and an International a couple weeks ago, but when I rolled up the KAKU was already there, so just had to get the International in. Sadly, it was a SWM setup so had to take it to SLIM and get a 6x8 in.
Speaking of SWM, have you had to do a a SWM 8 expander yet?
If you haven't, try to swap that **** with someone else. They suck.

after you fix it, just get a zagg invisible shield for your screen. they are awesome. i've dropped my phone on rocks and no damage

http://podshop.com/idrops/
It's awesome.

I feel your pain man I work in cable. Applesauce is great. Ive used Brasso on my iPod plenty of times and it works great. You can get Brasso at most stores.

Who wears glasses?

I do. Sometimes they can be a pain. I hate it when I go swimming and I can't see a damn thing.
Also, when I am laying in bed messing with my phone, I have to take them off or I'll get a headache.
Anyone else like this?

get lasik, best 3400 I've ever spent.

that you'll crash because you can't see.
edit: only teenage idiots want ricer cars.

Ditto on glasses suck. They just get in the way of everything (ie, when dressing, showering, sleeping, swimming, etc)
But actually, my nearsightedness is not too bad; only about -3.00 or -4.00 diopters. So I admit I don't have it as bad as a lot of others.
To compound my problems, I can't wear contacts. I have a fear of eye-touching. (Remember in an episode of Friends, Rachel has this problem?)
I would totally go for lasik surgery. I've heard a lot of good stuff about it.
Oh, regarding the argument between lasik vs a nicer car...that's just silly. If you choose to go with a nicer car, you should sell it to do lasik and then get a cheaper car.
Tip on swimming: There are goggles with corrective lens. They look an feel just like regular goggles and don't cost that much more.

I am relatively new to wearing glasses (just over a year). I hate it, but I'm to much of a p***y to get contacts.

What's a ricer car?

Ricer - (Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt) A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to): - Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder - Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747 - Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool - Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself - Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire - Clear tail lights and corner signals - A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine) - Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case. The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group ...
LoL

Yea, I wear glasses, but going through about 8 different pairs I got used to them. Speaking of glasses I will soon need to change my lenses since they are so scratched up lol. I'm worried that if Ido get lasik I wont get used to not having glasses.

you'll poke yourself in the face a few times the first couple of months, trying to adjust glasses that aren't there, but for me and my 20/400 vision, it was an amazing thing.
Had procedure about 1130am. didn't feel anything other that some pushing/pulling (had valium and numbing drops).
Got home about 1300. Wife decided to do some shopping while I was passed out in the car....
Woke up in car to eyes on FIRE. Immediately went into the house and took some motrin and benadryl and passed out.
Woke up about 8pm. Looked up and could read the clock from across the room (before I could not even see that there was a big "E" on the chart from the chair. Had to walk to about 5-10 feet to see it).
The next morning I went for my post op visit and was 20/20.
Now I am 20/15 in one eye and 20/10 in the other. Like I said best 3400 I've ever spent.
Came with free lifetime correction but 5 years later I am still seeing great!

When i didn't wear glasses, i cann't see clearly! I hate!

Chicks who wear glasses can be sooooo sexy

I don't really go swimming too often, I don't picture myself wasting $100 on something I will only wear once a month

I wear glasses.....
actually i just keep 'em in my pencil case with the box.
cause I just don't need 'em. after all.
thanks to my random eyesight change... lol was somewhere 150/75 and now its 70/70
thanks OP for the thread. Im gonna see what happens if I wear my glasses all day at school next week.

yeah, i'm farasighted and need my glasses to perform any task that involves reading small print-funny,i use to have perfect vision when i was younger-i was the only sibling to not wear glasses. i don't mind,except trying to keep them clean can be a pain,lol...

Also the price of Lasik. For $3500 I'll be a few thousand away from this (camera not included) and yes, the money I spent on my photography gear can easily buy a ricer car...or a few Lasic surgeries.

I've worn glasses since I was 4 years old (I'm 17 now). I got used to it over time.
I started wearing contacts when I was 12 years old. At first, I was scared of poking my eyes. But when I really noticed how different I looked and how my peripherals were horrible, I became brave enough to start wearing contacts. Now when I look to my sides or up/down, my vision isn't obstructed by a frame (or no lens when looking up/down). I really love contacts now. It's nice not having this heavy frame on my nose.
I've actually contemplated on getting lasik surgery. It might actually happen next summer (when I get out of high school), but I'm not sure...(tough times in the economy right now).
BTW, has anyone gone swimming with contact lenses on? Or is that something that shouldn't be done? I remember swimming with some friends a few years ago and I had no glasses/contacts on, and I got smacked with a beach ball...

how can you hate glasses?! Get some nice ones and everyone around you will be jealous.. got some nice Bench. frames.. love em!!

haha lol loved this thread and guess what?
I have worn my glasses for two days and guess what responses I've got...
1.) take them off. you look like a r.tard/ nerd
2.) oh I havn't seen you with glasses before. you look weird.
what a funny to do at school for last week of term

Hooters

Hooters, the restaurant. Haven't tried it but what's the BIG deal about it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

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.

Would you guys carry your N7 using.....

I was wondering if someone made a carry case with a shoulder strap would you guys use it? I would and I'm looking for one but can't find anything that doesn't look like a girlie pocketbook.

As a man that is engaged to be married to the most amazing woman on earth, I already carry one. It has a strap, it's colorful and pretty and I hate it. But her purse works. I bought a cheap case for The Seven and she carries it when we are out and about. I am still fighting for a man cave...so good luck getting your own man bag

The integrated bottle opener is a nice touch though.

I like the bags from Rickshaw. I just haven't been able to justify the cost yet. Would love to grab a Mini Commuter.

I actually picked up a small bag from the Bench Factory Outlet store near me, just the right size for the N7... and it looks cool cos it has Bench written on it

adamhlj: if you want to trust your stuff to a cheap bag like that then go ahead. thinking like that means you were ripped off by buying a nexus tablet as opposed to a emedia tablet. If you want to buy the kia of bags then go ahead. I'll stick with the lexus of bags and it will last longer.
besides I bought my bag on overstock sale for $50. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that will last longer then 3 months.

I got a murse (man purse) to carry my rooted Nook Color about 2 years ago. And it went with me everywhere until I got the N7.
It holds my N7, wallet, keys, phone, over the ear headphones, cleaning cloth, extra charger and cord, etc.

Whoa seriously there is nothing wrong with UTG (under the gun). They make a lot of crap and a lot of quality stuff at a decent price. they're made to contend with higher priced items and do this well. My job sells like 100+ UTG items. AND I happen to own a 2011 Kia Forte Koup. It is an amazing car! No really... go to Kia and test drive one. Or an Optima. They're amazing cars nowadays. And the money I saved by buying this car goes to things like my tablet and cheaper bags and anything else I want to splurge on.
He was just trying to offer his helpful opinion. With that attitude u might as well skip on android and go with an iPhone.

In this case, you do get what you pay for...
UTG -
Polyester
5.11 -
1050D Nylon
Saying somone was "ripped off" is not helpful...especially when they are mistaken.

Only thing that popped up in my mind.

You men have it so lucky... murse, tactical bags, back pockets... I'm a girl. I can only stick in into one of the bazillion purses, messenger bags or backpacks I own.

I got with android because i am a fan of linux and open source. I also believe i should be able to do what i want with my mini computer. Android phones are not that much cheaper then iphones and no matter what anyone says iphones work really will with other apple products. And actually, i am considering the iphone 5 when it comes out. Since the trend of android is making high end devices huge. I want a high end phone with a 4" screen. I dont need to carry around 2 tablets. Thats nice that you have a kia. Will it be running strong in 10 years? We'll see. I see plenty of honda, toyota, lexus, chevy, fords, and dodges from 02 on the road. not too many Kias though. Sacrificing price for quality is not wise in my decision. And like beestee said there is a structural different between the bags. I also didn't have anymore attitude in what i said then the attitude that adam had when he said i got ripped off.
Now back on topic.

50 bux for a nice bag isn't bad. I have used Oakley sandbags in the past and was good, but I kinda like the 5.11 Pack you posted. I may get one of these. Thanks for the info

I like that sandbag. i'll have really give it a once over the next time i see one in the stores. I also have the bag listed below. I have seen it for about $75 but i paid $90 for it. That is what i use when the family goes to the zoo or disneyland. I have also used it for a 3 day camp/hike trip. Worked really well. If it was winter or any longer then i would have had to use a bigger bag. Day hikes just get the 5.11 PUSH. Take 5 min and watch the video on the MOAB 10. You'll see a lot of attention to the little details in the construction of this bag.

Checked out the MOAB, awesome awesome bag. I miss being in the USAF with stuff like this lol. Eh whatever...lol A glock in the compartment, nice...forget my tablet lol
I pulled the trigger and got a deal on the Max Jumbo KISS bag. I think it should suffice. I just dropped my N7 on the curb because my 4yr old kicked it off the seat while I was getting her out of the truck. This is what happens when your hands are full folks lol....
I'll post a review of that bag when I get it next week. :good:

I like the KISS. I looked into that because of the zipper pouch on the side. The push pak has two zipper pouches for water. I liked the idea of the full zipper but my hand didn't fit inside that pouch. Couldn't get headphones out of the bottom. But I still like that bag

Do not forget the having to change bags to match what your wearing. I bought the nexus 7 because i got tired of always having to be sure my bag or purse was big enough to fit my a500 in..I love the device but with its size i might as well pack my computer around.. My nexus will fit in even a larger clutch bag.And a smaller purse that works well with a tiny spring strappy or strapless Dress..
You have to look good no matter what....
guys can get away with nearly anything . Get you a pair of cargo shorts with those pockets that go 3/4 the way around the leg put a hard shell case that opens at the top and there ya go.. nice protection and easy to access... pssssss
with the above about the 4 inch phone i so agree .. the sweet spot on a phone size is 4 inches..Anything bigger is to much to hold in my hand . It must Make calls and Tether to my tablet.. What more do you need in a cell phone if you have a 7 inch tablet...
I personally would NOT use a i phone ... it may be very user friendly But we are all individual people..We deserve to have a device we can make our own.And not be locked into what the manufacturer say is BEST FOR US..
Ok all lets go shopping now...

Yep, I don't buy a purse if it can't fit a small notebook, or now, if it won't fit my N7 and a charger. And I change lanyards, purses, paracord accessory, ocassionally shoes, and hat for the day, sometimes during the day if I have to change for events.
And I have a captivate glide, which is about four inches, and a physical keyboard that makes me giddy (except when looking at cases).
All I can say is thank god black goes with 'everything'! -Ara
