Beck Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Holy Cow Doug!, This is real bad news but I'm very glad you are OK! Hope that those bumps and bruises will heal fast to get you up an going again. The great RCBVFR might not rise up again from this bout, but I'm sure you will come up with yet another fantastic project bike or even a new one (Maybe some new Italian V4...maybe...hint..).

Guest vfrrider Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Glad you're OK. At least your gear kept you from being knocked out and cooking to death in the summer heat wave. You know you enjoy the building ALMOST as much as the riding anyway. Larry VFRrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer redneck7769 Posted August 10, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2009 Having done the 75mph freeway slide here in southern California, I feel your pain. Glad to here your ok for the most part and that the gear did as well for you as mine. Heal well and now you have the reason to increase the RCBVFR's bionic power to a higher level than it was before.

Member Contributer backonabike Posted August 10, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2009 Very sorry about your bike. It was among the nicest I have seen. Glad you are okay though. Good luck with the rebuild. From what I have seen it looks like you have all the skills to put her back together. If that happened to me I think I'd be screwed. Good Luck.
