Modda sorry to hear of your unfortunate encounter with a cager... Its always disheartning to hear another rider go down. Here in cincinnati if its not a cager trying to kill you its a deer. |

modda, welcome back. Glad to see you are back and feeling much better. Bikes can be replaced, its the limbs and life itself that gets difficult. |

Hey look at Evel. 50 or more broken bones, and he still rides last I saw.
As long as I am able I will be on a bike. Legs or no legs. I will Darth Vader it if I have to.  |

Damn, Modda. A VTR. So sorry to hear it is scrap. Even more sorry you are hurt, man. I swear, if people HAD to ride a bike at some point, they might get their heads out and pay attention. At least you did see it coming. Heal up quick, dude.

Awwww, MAN!!!!!!!!! I didn't realize it was the 1300.
Well, best of luck to you and your family. I can understand their feeling and your desire to give it some time to heal the physical and psychological wounds of the family. Hopefully you'll keep on checking here from time to time. Take care, man.

hi Modda, sorry to hear about your misfortune...even more to hear that you are giving them away...we all know that you are a passionate F'er
it's also a pity none of us F'ers in OZ are near each other to come visit and to help each other out
you know i was looking real hard at buying the new cb1300, but now i think i'll give it a miss and save instead - with traffic here in melbourne i get worried riding my cb1100 around - fearing all my hard work and passion will be taken away by a cage driver...
bikes are in the blood so i doubt we will lose you forever, but don't forget to pop back here for a visit in the meantime
Cheers
live long & Prosper , Bristle. |

I got you. Divorces can be expensive. And lack of money is a good excuse to not ride.
But you can always find some good deals.  |
