Don't be daft.
He'll need a bit of Isopon as well, plus some touch up paint.
Take about an hour to fix at the most

Geezer did a classic ( read Death if I had been on my Bike) left turn/ u turn right in front of me...I had a green for go, hit him, passenger/front wheel arch punted him into the central reservation, then i continued on to say hello to a metal, 4 foot diameter utility pole!!!
Other bloke had to be cut out!!......he's alive though, as far as I know, which is good cos I want to kill him........slowly!!!
Do you think 235 buckets of Isopon will be enough to finsh the job???

Right Shoulder rotator cuff has tears.
Right side Ribs, possibly three fractures ( can't say for sure, onset of Pneumonia is clouding x rays.hence the double doses of Levaquin...)
Severe ( and I mean severe, not "ooh look you broke my taillight ,now I have whiplash") Whiplash, accompanied by blurred vision/headaches.

UPDATE:
After 2 neck and spine MRI's ( bloody hate that machine!!) and two or three more to go, my orthopedist tells me,
You have the spine of an 85 year old
You have so far, 7 slipped discs, and no possiblility of repair
You have to;
Stop walking the dogs
Stop any sudden movements
Stop riding your motorcycle
If we can get you back on your Bike, you will be stopping for breaks every 30 minutes
No jogging
No aerobic walking
No off road riding, or anything that could jolt the spine
To which I replied
"well what the fook am I supposed to do for the next 30 years? sit in a chair and pee myself??"
Then I told him to stop being a drama queen ( he is..........) and walked out!!!!
Bolloks to 'em all, I'm not dying in a bloody comfy chair, might as well go enjoying what I love to do..............right????

whilst you're sueing the bstard who did this to you, it might be an idea to take the quacks advice as otherwise the otherside will use it against you when damages are agreed

I know........
Problem is lads.......even though I dont want to mention the word C______ r,
That is likely where most of the damage was done.........
To many get offs, too many "hit car, hit floor, roll around a bit then hit bastard that pulled out on me" episodes !!!
I was young (er) healthy, felt somewhat invincible.like we all do sometimes, and just rolled with the punches.
Seems like my spine/ structure was ok, as long as no serious movement occured.......well I guess the two whacks I got in the crash were enough to cause (longterm) pain and suffering.
Medic said my somewhat good muscle tone, ligaments etc were "holding up" and compensating for my vertebrae.
Honestly though, apart from what I put down to 47 year old aches and pains, I had NO idea my spine was in such a (alleged) bad state!!
Might be worthwhile getting checked out for some of you lot, although now I am thinking I MAY of been better off simply not knowing....????

My sympathies mate 
I fractured my C3/C4 playing rugby, Air lifted to Hospital, every doctor in the place running about like headless chickens - ie, VERY serious.
I totally recovered with a small amount of reduced neck movement.
What I'm trying to tell you is the Docs really do know what they are talking about. Listen to them
I hope this helps

You lot are making me feel good!!
I've been back to my Dr, as my BP is high - so I asked/told him to have a look at my back?? - as it's giving me some bloody awful pain!!
We did some checks, he prescribed some painkillers and announced that I have "Trapped a nerve" - great, fix it then!.......
So, now I've discovered that the painkillers are no better than "Smarties", and, they make going to the shithouse "Worth it!" (Constipation) - he's going to have to do something about it!!

Yeah, I hope so......
MRI scans looked pretty clear though, even to me!
You can clearly see at least 3 or 4 ruptured discs, all a bit squashed too, and we only lit up a few......, so more to go!!
I think the gist of it was, my 35 years riding Bikes, 14 for "work" and the ensuing getoffs ( I clearly remember over one 5 year period, I averaged about 1 a year...and I'm talkin everything from punting a Fiat Punto to a HGV running over me and the Bike)... has left my spine a bit worse for wear,so my situation may be a bit more extreme, like a track/road racer's injury total, I guess!!!!
Anyhow, when I'm dead or better than dead is when they prise these Bike keys out of my sweaty palms...........
