Wedding? Things are OK right now; why would I want to screw it up by getting married? My firm does family law too. Divorce season starts in spring, and is in full swing right now. It's pretty scary.

My fiance is pressuring me to do the deed. We are doing a cross country run this summer after a big trial I have coming up. Maybe, just maybe, I might lose my sanity and tie the knot. We will see :)

Good article Norm. I must tell you that some guy in Lexington Kentucky was buried with his motorcycle. YES INDEED!! He had bought two plots and was sure enough buried with his bike. Just was not sitting in the seat. Odd thing, I find a lot of people do not carry full coverage insurance on their bikes after they are paid off. I personally carry full coverage because I do not have the cold hard cash to just go out and replace it. Every time I add chrome or any accessories, I send a copy to my insurance carrier. Because a standard policy only covers $1,000 on custom accessories. Just had a complete paint job and sent the receipt and pictures to insurance company. You pay these insurance companies but when it comes time to collect……..they never want to pay!!!!!! Always hire a lawyer when dealing with any insurance adjustor. They are not on your side!!!!!

Kevin it is a shame that people do not carry full coverage on their bikes. Most of us had to save money for a sizeable downpayment and made payments. I have added at least 6 thousand in extras on my Fatboy a little as a time as I saved cash to pay. I find that a lot of people in Florida carry the minimum amount of insurance required on their automobiles as well as soon as it is paid off. Recently, I had my bike appraised as it is nearing 4 years old. Believe it or not, but it appraised for the $18,999 I paid with the extras included on it. After a complete paintjob, I took it to the appraiser Drive Insurance, a part of Progressive insurance to appraise. It was $125 but it is worth it to me. With a daughter finishing third year of college, I could not just go buy a new one. I am so glad that the payment book is “GONE”. We even have people in Florida who do not have hurricane insurance on their homes, they have no mortgage and are not required by mortgage company to have hurricane insurance. They can not afford the insurance. My hurricane insurance went up 29%. I did not have a big claim. My claim was for $18,292.00 for a roof that cost $4,300 before the hurricanes.

Okay Norm: When is the wedding? Are we dressing in our biker clothes and riding up to the minister or justice of the piece to get hitched??? I guess the honeymoon is a trip on the Harley.

I would also highly recommend that “ANYONE” who gets hurt on their job and is sent to a workers compensation doctor by their employer hire a lawyer immediately. I do not know if this falls under personal injury but it most certainly is a good idea to contact a good lawyer that specializes in dealing with those insurance monsters.
