I hope you are okay, and I hope you get rich!!!
SUM-BITCH!!!! :furious: How are YOU?!?!?! Did you have a passenger!?!?! WTH happened!?!?!?
Tough to look at. Hope you're ok and able to get back on the horse as soon as possible!
Holy Crap!
I take it you have most of your facilities or you wouldn't be able to post the pics! :shock:
Hope you and yours are Good!
That pisses me off ... I hope you're alright ... Post the pics of the new one that's coming ...
Looks like they just drug yer 6 up on the truck,,, :banghead:
Who's sitting down in the background of pic 1?
CRAP!!!!!!
Ok...I see toes up in the accident photo!!:shock:
Need a health report on health!
God Bless ya, jlyon!!!
Wow, I hate to see that. Hope your injuries are minor or better yet non existent. Good luck with everything.
Yikes......you okay?
That is terrible.
Holy Crap. Give us a health report. Hope you are okay.
WOW!!!!!!! :yikes:
Man that just sucks. I hope you are ok?
DAMMIT! Ugh, this is my worst nightmare, after deer. I hope you are uninjured.
I don't know how much it helps, but this is why I pull up over to the far left of the lane when I stop, to put me directly in front of the driver's line of sight. I think the basic problem is that most people drive on remote control, letting their subconscious pilot their vehicle, and their brains' pattern recognition systems are looking for cars and they literally don't "see" us sitting there.
JUST DAMMIT! Sorry for your loss. So upsetting.
Wow!!:yikes:
I do hope you are ok! The bike can be replaced.
Praying you are well! A new 2014 is in your future?
Echoing everyone else, first and foremost I hope you are okay and in one piece.
That being said, that'll buff right out. :yikes:
Hey Guys (and Gals),
Thanks for the support messages... they made me smile...
Feel like I've played a game of tackle football with a couple of NFL'ers, and they got to wear pads and I didn't !!!
I was sitting at a red light, two other bikers were sitting in lane next to me (an H-D and a Yamaha I think :) ) and we were exchanging pleasantries about it being a beautiful day to ride and complimenting each other on the bikes... There was a silver Ford Fusion behind me.... A red mustang convertible crashed into the Ford, causing it to crash into me... I did a complete 360 in the air, and landed on my back across my beautiful F6B about 30 feet further into the intersection than where I started, and then rolled to the ground (so those feet you see sticking up in the tan boots are mine - passersby / Samaritans made sure I stayed laying down, 'cause I wanted to take my helmet off and beat somebody bloody)... they came and back-boarded me and took me to the hospital... X-rays and being felt up by the Doc indicated nothing broken or bulging that they could see, so with some pain meds and valium I was released... The poor couple in the Silver Ford took the brunt of the collision, and probably saved both myself and the other two bikers from some serious hurting...
The driver of the red mustang... allegedly intoxicated with previous history of such... he was arrested (so i was told - I wasn't there by then)...
So... already talked to the dealer.... asking if any rumors about the 2015 model F6B will have cruise control or not are true !!! He said he didn't have any new info, but would offer my letter on the subject to the Honda Dealership Owner's Group meeting in Sept.
I have three other bikes ((2) H-D's and a brand new Victory Cross Country Tour) so I will be riding as soon as I am able to again.... but my '6 was my favorite scoot... and she WILL be replaced !!!
Again, thanks all for the concern... she held together well and the safety bars on the sides did their thing... it is a GREAT bike, and one I will be proud to own again !!!
"They ain't gonna stop the midnight rider !!!" :)

Side note on the F6B...
The driver backrest on the RDL seat took the brunt force of me moving backward and broke, but kept me from landing in the windshield of the car behind me... it did it's job !!! I am a fan of RDL's for life now !!!
Gotta go to the tow yard tomrrow and retrieve my personalized FSIXB license plate back too !!!
:shock: :icon_frown: :icon_evil:
glad ur ok
I am so sorry this happened to you. I'm glad you are OK and got some good drugs to ease the pain. Hopefully, the law will take that idiot off the road for good. Just glad you are able to be here to talk about it. Please get well soon.
Glad your ok. Shame about the bike though.
Good to hear you're, for the most part, seemingly OK,,,
If it wasn't for that silver car, you might be singing with the Angels right now,,, :shock:
Simply not your time yet, but,,,, DAYUUUUUM!!!!!
All I can say is DAMN!
Glad you made it out of that relatively ok.
Hate it for you and your scoot.
I hope all is well with you and you are not injured. You can buy another bike.
If you wait for the insurance company, you will be screwed for sure. If this guy has priors, everyone will get the short end of the stick if you don't move QUICKLY. Call The Law Tigers or Ride Lawyers today or first thing tomorrow morning. I'm not kidding on this; I had my GL1100 destroyed two years ago and would have been screwed if I left it up to the insurance company.
DO IT NOW.
I blew up the pictures (which gave me a stomach ache to look at), and I think its a Maryland plate. I live in Virginia, and Maryland by far has the worst drivers I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!
Sue their ass.
Good to hear your not broken, jlyon!!! :clap2:
Wow I'm glad you're ok! That is one of my worst fears right there. I live in Frederick Md too, where abouts are you?
Glad to hear you are in one piece. Hope you can strip off the takeoffs after insurance pays... Sure can sell the areo pegs here. I was cut in front of a number of years ago on an old savage 650 and bought back for $200. Sold for parts and made a pretty penny.
Bloody Hell!!!
That looks bad! VERY glad you are OK. Scary to see such a big beautiful bike like that bashed up. You may have sustained far worse injuries on a lesser bike.
I will always be double-checking my mirrors now.
You do owe that Fusion driver a beer!!!:icon_lol:
Oh man that hurt my feelings to look at them photos.....Thank God your ok...I agree with majority opinion..Get a good lawyer and get whats comeing to you.The street is no place for impared drivers. Get well,Get a new scout and maybe we will see you in franklin.
Glad you are ok. I am in the opposite position. I have a new F6B and can't ride it until my injuries from my motorcycle crash heals. On the positive side the insurance company treated me better than selling or trading in my bike..lol
Just like everyone said "glad your ok, bikes can be replaced, friends can not."
Hug your family and tell them you love them - and get another F6B!
Side note - rear tire still looked good! :icon_mrgreen:
I am just glad that you are okay, That looks scary.
Oh my goodness!
Glad you're able to talk about it and laugh about it!
That's my old RDL seat! Wow. That's a little too close to home.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Thankfully you seem to be ok, and hopes of a speedy recovery.
That's the second totaled F6B that I know of, Lamonster hit a deer a while ago.
:stretcher:
Sorry to hear about this, glad that you are OK. Take it easy for a few days, you will be sore for 3-5 days. DO NOT tell the insurance company that you are fine and just banged up a little, let your doctor determine that. You may have suffered a shearing brain injury that feels like a headache but will scar in time and may possibly effect your sleeping permanently. Your neck ligaments and muscles may have been stretched (hyper-extended) from the whip lash. Your spine may have suffered as well.
Wait it out for 2-3 weeks before you make any medical prognosis …. MEANTIME Document all of your issues, pains and aches…. they could be the start of something permanent. I Hope not.
I speak from experience, 3.5 years ago I was rear ended while on a bike, suffered several injuries including a concussion and am still paying the price. My sleeping cycle has been permanently effected.
Take it easy, don't strain yourself and see a doctor. ;2cents2;
