San Diego Ride 9-20-09 (with mishap)

His name is Viff and he buys a Yamaha? Looks like you guys had a nice ride(aside from the scratches in the pavement).

Long, I am glad I got to meet her before her untimely passing. Get her replaced quickly.

 

So I guess that gigolo gig paid off huh Viff?

 

Nice pics... hope all are ok.

 

LOL yea well Hmm I see a few skid marks in that last photo making me go Hmm is this the corner all the fun happened at? Yea great to see some other folks besides us up here in the PNW do get out and ride :wink: Yea whats the deal letting a Yami in on the fun? :bootyshake2:

 

That was a fun ride, Amanda enjoyed herself.

The FZ1 is amazing at 2up! I stayed in 4th the whole time, nothing but roll on power from 20-70.

 

HEY! Don't be hating on my FZ1! She's a damn fine rider.

 

Man that freaking sucks Captain Long! It's gonna be cliche but at least you are alive to bitch about it!! In the pictures I can see it's over a cliff. You could have literally been doing a Captain Long impression flying over the cliff or even worse getting wedged in the guard rails.

:rip: the silver stallion.

 

So sorry Capt. Long.
Glad you are ok. That is more important.
On the bright side... This happened just on time for the mysterious new 09 model.

is it really totaled? No chance on resurrecting that silver baby?

 

Thanks every one for your concern

Well at Jason already told the story, I thought I would but in some words.
As last minute of our ride, Come to a turn just like every other. Half way in the turn feel the front wheel hitting some thing:unsure:My girl dance from side to side violenly. I try to calm her down, Kick to the right and left try to save her..................But at the end I gave up she skit herself in between the guard rail and the road:soapbox::soapbox: It is a bitch to pill her off:chairshot: As the result of the mishalf, Jackie end up with some scratchs and bruises on the other foot. We took her home to my Bro. house and put a planket over her so his wife won't see her:vanity: Went home call the insurance and hope they can safe her, She been so good to me until yesterday:sick::angel: Now staring at the empty spot in the garage where see had been stay for the last two years I feel lonely and sad. I am so lost without her. She may be gone but she is aways in my heart:amen:
Well the damaged has been done now is time for me to move on which is eep:shopping for another :sportbikesmile:VFR. If any of you know where is a silver one please point this way. Thanks again for all your support, Special thanks to my good friend Jason for being ther and help to the end of her journey.

 

I feel for you Scubalong, I'm just glad to know you walked away. Best of luck finding another VFR.

 

LOL, No hating at all, poking fun Yes! I have a few friends I ride with that have other bikes too so know what's going on, just couldn't resit saying something :wink:

Man Oh man Mr. Long you had an angel with you I say, yes sad that you lost your bike, but that's easily replaced, you on the other hand not so, good to hear you're not the worse of it. So hard to put things in perspective when something like this happens, I feel for ya, you're ok the bikes a mess you feel like shit then to add what you went through to get the bike up and out only adds more to it. aren't folks like Jason great? good job Jason. like I said good to know you're ok. Look at it this way, Now you'll be ready for the 7th gen right? :wink:

 

So sorry to hear the bad news Scuba but very glad to hear you're OK. I hate to lose those silver viffers as much as you do.

Hopefully the insurance company will do their job admirably and not create any headaches for you.

I couldn't help but put myself in your shoes to ask myself what I would do afterward. I think I'd probably pick up a RWB '07. I do like the silver color quite a bit but those RWB's are especially sharp.

It is unfortunate that this happened to you Scuba but it serves as a great reminder to the rest of us that we can never be too careful.

Hope you heal up quickly!

 

WOW............. I read the title & thought........ SHOOT, I missed another ride, but sounds like I missed a lot more than that. Im REAL sorry to hear about the misfortune. that REALLY sucks. its one thing to drop the bike, but for it to be totaled really sucks. the bright side, is that you did not get seriously hurt. glad to hear that!!!!

take care guys
Bob

 

X2 that buckwheat said about the insurance company. hopefully they will do the right thing in a timely manner.

MY SILVER BROTHA say it isn't so! :hurt: Long, I'm very glad you're ok after the get off and that you'll be able to ride again. Those pictures make me want to cry since your bike looks just like mine. I can only imagine how you feel after having this happen to you but I feel it in my gut for you. I'll be looking for another Silver VFR for so you can stay in the ranks of the 6th Gen Militia - Silver Thunder Wing! You will always be a member in my book no matter what bike you end up with. I also hope the insurance doesn't mess with you so you can get back in the saddle again soon. Get that Sargent seat off the bike before the insurance company comes to take it!

Let me know if you need anything Brotha...

 

I told my uncle if he gets bored or lonely he can ride my GSXR. YES I SAID GSXR :tongue2: Dont be hating if he decides to take it out and run with your interceptors.

 

Thanks little Nephew

The only way for me to ride that GSXR is riding with a mask onound::laugh::rofl::sportbikesmile:
