VFR4Lee Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yup - she's a goner. Better the bike taking out the post than the rider. No doubt. Could have hurt worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted November 5, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 5, 2015 Are any bits worth salvaging? The end can? Rear wheel? Any other extras you fitted? I assume you can buy it back from the insurers for a modest sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v13 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 further investigation today in the daylight reveal that the bike took out a 4"x4" concrete post as it went through the fence, without me aboard.....the post was smashed to bits, just rebar and the stump remaining...that is what prob took out the headlight and gauges IMG_20151104_0921171051.jpg IMG_20151104_0920110341.jpg thanks for all of the good words my friends, feeling ok today just a bit bruised and sore, but really not to bad holy crap, looks like the vfr is the real mvp here that took that concrete post instead of you, glad to hear you're ok.
