shrek Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Howdy y'all, forgive me for being absent for the last decade or so, but the time has come to admit defeat to injuries sustained in an accident with a dingy broad that just had to send a text message. My trusty '92 has been sitting in a corner of my shop completely neglected. Kerker full exhaust, custom shock with hydraulic preload adjuster, Givi rack, helibars, and an assload of spares. She needs to find a good home. It breaks my heart. Because of my injuries, I'll never ride again. Admitting this sucks. Quote
shrek Posted April 7, 2021 Author Posted April 7, 2021 My two old scooters. Can't believe I'll never ride again. Quote
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted April 7, 2021 Member Contributer Posted April 7, 2021 Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a good home for your steeds. Good luck with the future. Quote
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted April 7, 2021 Member Contributer Posted April 7, 2021 Oh no! Sorry to hear about your injuries. Sending you best wishes! 🌈 Quote
Magneto Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Cmon, cheer up, you have your life, could be worse. I should probably snatch that TL-R but no more room in my garage. 😞 Quote
Member Contributer Jmmymc750 Posted April 8, 2021 Member Contributer Posted April 8, 2021 Hey man, sorry about the accident. Never say never, but for now, it may be the right move. Where are you in New Orleans? I used to work for Semolina's over on Clearview, up until Katrina. That's when I went back to school. I just finished school last year, and the year before, got back on a bike after a few years off to concentrate on grades, etc. My VFR was electrically challenged while I lived over in Belle Chasse, but I rode my Yamaha XT600 over to work all the time. Yes, people are crazy drivers, especially in New Orleans. Vets boulevard? Holy...crap. I had a hip replacement a few years ago, while in school, forcing the sale of my KLR650. Man, I love 2 wheels. Deal with your injuries now, see a good osteopathic doctor, and when the time comes, maybe you can ride again. It never goes away, I don't think. The injury pain, or the need to ride. If you are selling the stuff...maybe I can come get some. I would love to by your 92...but I am having a VFRD guy *refurbish* my 1990 model. It has been...expensive and expansive. But, it nears fruition - frame and swingarm are at the powdercoater, he is machining a custom triple setup for a GSXR600 front end, he should be painting my Italian fiberglass fairings from MotoXRicambi (paint R147, Italian Red) in the next week or so. Then I will have my beloved 100k+ original owner VFR750 back. Chin up. Truly sorry about the accident. But see what you can make of it! I may be the only person that came out of katrina in 05 better off. It wasn't easy, and I took my FEMA check and paid tuition to start back to school. All my dreams (when I say all, I mean the only ones I had!) have come true. School worked way better than managing Semolina's! Good luck! Quote
