I did the same thing MJ did. I owned a bike for 6 months, and during that time I was dating an emergency room surgeon...between the horror stories she would tell me and the horror stories from other (good meaning) people, I just could never enjoy riding. It was constantly stressful, which as a couple riders here have mentioned, defeats the purpose of riding.

So, I sadly got rid of the bike...

As for whose fault it was, I'm gonna go with the truck driver; assuming the driver *EVER* saw the scooter, from that moment on, it was his responsibility to stay clear (if the truck driver NEVER saw the scooter due to the scooter-driver's fault, that's a different story).
