Very sad to hear of Mr Cognac's demise, what on earth happened?
Buuut, as others have said & of course, much more importantly, how is Mr Cognac's Ryder? And we need the true story here, not just the standard 'Ohh, I'm going OK for an old bloke!'

I am okay. Lots of road rash but no broken bones and head is okay due to helmet. Ten of us were on our usual Saturday ride in a line. I was bring up the rear with my CB talking to the lead as usual. Two cars got between me and my friend in front of me. The lead turned and slowed down, my buddy turned but had to stop and I could not see him due to the cars in front of me. I started my turn, running 10-15 mph, the cars went straight and I was on him too quickly. Mr. Cognac hit him, totaled Cognac but his F3 is repairable. I have been riding with him for 25 years. He took it well. Fourteen of us had breakfast yesterday, they rode, I drove.
I went off head first, hitting the pavement face first. My helmet saved me!! I did drive my glasses into my forehead with 11 stitches, road rash on left arm and hand even though I had my protective jacket on. I am getting better each day although still sore in places.
I went over to my dealer, Coyote Powersports of Boerne, TX to see Mr. Cognac and see what they had in the way of replacement scoots. This was last Tuesday, the 13th. Immediate problems came up. He had many 2018 RT-L but NO RED!! Then the tech said NO CBs FOR 18's, ie. no CB harness available. The dealer, a friend, said I only have a 2017 RT-S left. It is white and we can transfer your CB, GPS etc to it and I will give you all rebates and my cost. SOLD. I think I saved about $6K and that buys a lot of gas and insurance. Oh, Progressive treated me right, scoot, helmet, jacket, etc. I will pick up Mr. White this week after the tech puts the junk on him. I am happy with Mr. White which I hope is my last scoot.
You ask, What did your wife of 59 years say.....?? She said she was sorry I crashed Mr. Cognac and could not get a red 2018 but she will have it painted red for my 86th birthday. Ya can't beat that! Pics soon.
Oh, I have my Wing to ride but my left hand is buggered up some and I can't clutch real well yet. Thanks to all you Spyders wishing me well. George

Glad it's no worse
George, I'm glad it was no worse than you've described. I'm sure it was "bad enough" for you. I'm also pleased to hear of your new ride as it sounds like a great alternative to a 2018.
The best to you and your new bike,
Rob

As all the above
So sorry to hear of your crash and Mr; Cognac's demise. I am very grateful that you were hurt no worse than you were and take time and heal well. Also glad that at least you have a new spyder waiting on you. I'm not sure I like all these 18 changes. I'm not very tech orientated.
Again glad you are well George.
