My VFR is no more.

hate to here that....that area is where we take our trips..those roads can bite you...but being from nc you know that...just glad ur ok.....it can happen to any of us at any time..but thats what makes it so damn fun.....family comes first..

 

I have had some folks inquire so I thought I should let everybody know that the Insurance Company totaled out my VFR, so I did not keep the side cases, which were pretty mangled. They kept all the bike parts, so If your looking for a salvage bike, I bet its online somewhere. I don't know the process insurance companies go through to sale salvage vehicles to recoup some of their loss. I only have gear items for sale. The new Frogg Toggs and UV2000 Half Cover. The used items I have are Ballistic 5.0 winter over pants(XL), Joe Rocket Mesh Armored Jacket(XL) and a Pair of Field Armor boots (10.5). All the used items are in really good shape since I had a grand total of under 6000 miles riding time. The boots are the only thing listed here that were actually in the crash, but they did not get a scratch.

 

Glad you’re OK. I have the ridden the area thousands of times and have seen the same thing happen too riders couple dozen times.

 

Starr, sorry to hear about your fall. Post surgical pain can be kicker, however, it soon will improve. I had a similar spill in 1999 and had my right shoulder reconstructed. That was real pain! Anyway, I stayed away for several years as I had two yougsters at the time. Now I have three but not so young. I returned to riding in 2007 without a day of regret. On 21 May I picked up my frist VFR (2003) and, ironically, my first trip was on NC 28/143 and 129, so I am familiar with where you went down. Believe it or not, you will eventually want to return to the saddle again. I am from you same area (Charlotte not Concord) and return home as often as I can. If you ever want to discuss, just drop me a line.
