So basically when I had left I had just been through a wicked motorcycle crash involving my getting t-boned at 40mph with me going somewhere around 90-120.
Just thought I'd post some pics of how my face is healed, it's slightly crooked for now, the doc says that the swelling will go down after a few months.

I swear I know you from somewhere. ;D ANyway i don't see anything that looks bad, I really wouldn't worry.
Rather, apparently that Alt. Account isn't needed.
Quotemy getting t-boned at 40mph with me going somewhere around 90-120.
That is why highways have no crossroads. People can not see cycles as it is, hence the need to have the headlight on. At those speeds you can pop up from nowhere as people driving need only 20/40 vision. You were very lucky or just had ffs.

Lulz.
I blew through a red light.
So, it was entirely my fault.
I WISH I had that kind of money, though, I could def. go for a boob job.
I wonder if we should hold bets on how many accounts Annwyn will make during her 1 year ban.
In any event I'm glad to hear that you're healing well. Hope that all goes well after the move (not sure if you've moved yet or not).

This is the same account as Annwyn, smartypants.
Hence the post count.
Oh yeah... That's why it's good to check out those little details.
*sheepish smile*
WTF ... ??? ...
Annwyn is BANNED, and she's back posting under an alias within a week !
Joke surely ?
Got to slow down girl, life is dangerous enough without courting it. And I'm sure it was not you, but I'm also sure there is a darn good reason they call them 'donor cycles.'
I'm NOT using an alias account, christ.
Now if the accusations are done and over with, that's a very interesting term Tekla:-p
I think in a real city your at a lot more risk, more morons, more distractions, less room to avoid a problem - and every car, every truck is a problem. I was cool on the bike when I was in Iowa, riding backroads straight as an arrow, flat enough to see miles ahead, but in SF, no way.
FYI, Susan did an amnesty on bans, with some exceptions. So Annwyn/Toni is back legitimately.

QuoteI'm Annwyn. I'm a MtF transsexual. I was known as Kalt here, but the way the situation has turned out, it's time for a startover.
So why deny it if not for "subterfuge" ???
When a one year ban becomes a two week ban its taking the p**s ?
(speaking as one who was excluded for 6 months)

Yeah that was my bad. I saw the deleted account and assumed that she'd made new ones (until she replied to my post) and you know what they say when you assume... :-X
But yeah,
SORRY ANNWYN!
Toni,
You're teasing us ... you look gorgeous and I can't see no swelling !

Things have actually been much safer for me in the city. Traffic is traffic is traffic, there's no unpredictables except stupidity of other drivers which is easy to calculate. Also toning down on the speeding and not cutting lanes and pulling stunts just to piss people off has a large part to do with it as well.
Within the two weeks befoer I moved I had been pulled over over 5 times.
Not once since I moved.
I guess I can honestly say getting t-boned scared the crap out of me enough that I learned a lesson.
I hope so honey, everytime you 'get lucky' is one less 'lucky' in the future. Keep rolling dice, sooner or later the wrong number comes up.
Known enough motorcyclists who've half killed themselves (or are deceased) without the intervention of any other vehicle ... its not a pretty picture.
On urban roads if you can't stop or avoid before you see someone pulling out from a side-road you're going too fast ?

This picture is a bit less flattering:

The left side of my cheek is still swollen a good 1/4th to 1/2 an inch, depending on the day, and hurts a ton.
Ribs are fine, knee is as well.
Yeah ...
You can just see some teeny swelling, and hurting goes away (we've all been "in the wars" some time or other).
Just think you're using this as an excuse to post pretty pics of yourself ... ;D ...
No lasting damage this time but PLEASE take care !

Well first off, when you're on a motorcycle there's always room to escape into, and all it takes is being aware of your surroundings. It's pretty hard to doze off on one, or talk on your cell phone, or get road head, or any of the many number of distractions other drivers have. Getting to and from where you wanna be and knowing how to do it before you're there, and some other techniques help.
Always driving BEHIND or IN FRONT of other cars, never in their potential blind spot, and making sure your pipes are load enough to let everyone know you're there...
But I wouldn't freak out. The way I've been living the past month since i went fulltime has been careless and reckless in many ways. While I've accepted and met more responsibility than I have for a while and done it WELL, so far I've been clubbing and going to bars and dating guys who have no clue about me even just for one night. I've gotten date raped once, not to mention about a month an a half ago when it happened. I've got more stalkers than I can count on one hand, probably because I went and put my pictures and profile up on a few TS dating sites.
But I can't stop. I'm loving life so much right now and I'm not letting ANYTHING get me down or stop me.
I've told several friends this already but, I doubt I've got much longer to live because I just can't stop doing what I'm doing. I'd rather live well a few more months than go back to not living at all like I was.
So if something WERE to happen, I'd go out knowing that I didn't have a single regret.

Toni / Annwyn, thought you were "full time" a lot longer than a month or so, but all I can say is go for it but be careful.
Pulling guys is fun but can be dangerous ... even as post-op you know there's a risk in one night stands.
Just that risks can be overstated and we have lives to live.
But stalkers are not good ... be really careful about who you open up to.

(P.S. if you are Annwyn, no big deal, I liked you, just hope you take care not to upset so many folks with your quick tounge !)
