I met Nige and Jan during their visit here, While I was giving the grand tour, A small red car turned from the far right lane and into my lane to try to make a ILLEGAL U turn. I had very little time to react. Could not swerve and had no choice but to hit the brakes very hard in an attempt to stop. Needless to say I hit said car and sailed over to the pavement on the other side. Nige said I bounce well. within seconds I had nurses and bystanders trying to keep me down til help arrived. To keep this short, I seem to be OK, some fairly painful areas, bruises ect ect, but the RG needs some shop time, front end work. Kind of put a damper on a swell time, But we managed to salvage it after my the bike was carried away and we went to Willy G's for some liquid pain killer/additude adjuster. She'll be OK in a few weeks, with some shiny new chrome...

I was afeared you were going to report something like this. Crap. Glad you're not too sore and are able to post. If it hurts a lot get checked out. Wouldn't be the first time someone got checked out later and something was found that needs fixed. Sounds like your ride's going to be ok. Heal quickly.

Sorry about the crash (especially when you had evening plans with Nige). Glad you are doing well.

I hope the car had insurance to take care of your bike and the related expenses.

Since you are ok, I guess we need to wish your bike a speedy recovery

Really sorry to hear this Cash. Hope you and the bike mend quickly.

Thanks all, The numbing effects of Jim and Jack, as well as great company from our overseas travelers took care of me last night. Today I have a real attidude. But that too will pass as soon as I get the police report and verify HIS insurance. Which I was told that he had.

Bummer, right in the middle of a great time.

No good time for an event like this, but it sounds like you are OK which is the most important thing and the bike will be able to be repaired.

Speedy recovery on the bumps and bruises.

cash338 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2008, 08:41:12 PM »

The dealer already said it shouldn't be too bad to fix. Obvious inner and outer fairing, as well as radio, which was a sony and small gages. new windsheild, which hurts the ribs as you fly through it. No damage to bags, or tank, or trunk

OMG, a Cash Crash! I wondered what you guys were hinting at in the other thread. Good luck with the fix, what a hassle. Rub some dirt on it, you'll be OK!

Buy early · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2008, 09:16:53 PM »

Sorry to hear about your spill but glad you are ok! Bikes can be fixed or replaced. People are a little tougher. Heal quickly!

Hi Scot - I think I already said what I needed to say at the time - both to you and the first class a- hole that caused this to happen. Only saving grace is that you are OK as all mechanical things can be fixed or replaced. We enjoyed the time spent with you and Sheryl immensely though and I'm sure the half bottle of Jim Beam helped a lot at Willie G's.

Cheers fer now.

Nige & Jan

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident. The same thing almost happened to my buddy on Saturday in Dallas when some b**** on a cell phone made a left hand turn from the far right lane.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your aches and pains, and best of luck on getting the bike better than ever.

cash338 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:30:07 AM »

Going to get the accident report now....time to get the ball rolling. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm sure it will take a month or so to get the bike back in shape....Scot

So sorry 'bout the crash, that sucks! All my best for a speedy recovery for you and the scoot! Hope you get some extra chrome out of it...
