• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

When records fall

Jeriatric

Thinks out loud
After almost 53 years of keeping the rubber side down(road riding years) - the run is over. The FJR met a Prius in a roundabout while passing through Cottonwood, Az.. One week ago yesterday. Have to say, had it been a real car. I may have been hurt.:roflblack: The FJR is in for repairs for almost everything on the left side.

Ugly it is!

ATGAT- I was in full leathers, plus a pair of Sidi 'On Road' boots, and only sustained friction cuts and bruises. My helmet was the last thing to contact the pavement, and as luck would have it, somehow it only sustained face shield damage.

At my age one tends to wonder how they would fair if they were to go down. I came out OK this time, and hope it is the last.

BSOT - Be safe out there.
 
:shocked: :agree: Sorry to hear that the bike is in moderately poor shape; hopefully it can be repaired quickly, and to your satisfaction.

Tell us what happened...:thumbup:
 
Glad you didn't suffer more injuries. I'm sure you'll be back in the saddle once the FJR is repaired.
 
Sad news..!!

really glad you fared as well as you did. Sorry it broke your record but at least you can start a new one. Take a break recoop and above all be safe..!! :lecturef_smilie:
 
I'm also glad you had only minor injuries. I sure hope you left a Spyder-shaped dent in that "car."

Now you get to buy a new helmet. I don't want to have an accident, but I wish I had an excuse to get one of those new BRP carbon-fiber ones.

Edit: OOPS!! I just re-read the OP and see that the dent shape should be that of an FJR!"

Glad to hear you made it through to tell us about it. The FJR can be repaired.

Another good reason for ATGATT. You never know when bad things are going to happen. Being ready, is the way to go.
 
Purchase Justification

Buy it....because:

You either want it because you need it, or, need it, because you want it. Works well for me every time. :roflblack:
 
Missed your question

:shocked: :agree: Sorry to hear that the bike is in moderately poor shape; hopefully it can be repaired quickly, and your satisfaction.

Tell us what happened...:thumbup:

"Tell us what happened"

As you know, I'm a straight shooter and call'm like I see'm. That said, I was informed by the other party's insurer that Arizona has a way of proportioning fault. With that knowledge, I feel it would not be wise, at this time, to openly discuss things. Once I know how that sorts out, I'd be happy to share. It is what it is, and will be what it will be. In my mind.
 
Here is to being safe for another 53 years:cheers:

So you were 300 miles from home, yikes what an ordeal to go through.

Glad you had the gear on my friend:thumbup:
 
ATGATT works again :thumbup: Sorry to hear about the accident but happy to hear you survived in decent shape. When ever it gets hot I keep resisting the temptation to ride naked and people look at me like I am weird. Your story helps me remember why I spent the money for the gear. Dress for the slide not the ride.
 
300 miles to go

The milage yet to be covered wasn't a big deal, until we stopped. The greif I had to endure from my riding partner was unbearable. Geesh, can you say....lighten up already:roflblack:
 
Glad you are OK, thanks for sharing

Glad you are OK. :thumbup: It is scary when that happens. Thanks for sharing to keep all of us more aware....especially we are seeing many more of those "roundabouts" or traffic circles being put in....good info - thanks.

Get healed up and enjoy the ride! :D:2thumbs:
