was there two wrecks?hope everyone is ok

[Jane Honda]

Yes, there were two wrecks that day. Here is what I posted in the other thread...

I just got home and am supprised that noone has posted about todays ride yet. I guess I'll do what I can to fill you in...
We met at the AM-PM as planned. Got to Aufterheide, as planned. But shortly those plans took an alltogether diffrent route. The FIRST crash of the day happened to be poisonIvyR1. If he chooses to do so, I will let him fill you in on the details, but from what I understand, he was going into a right hander onto a bridge, the bump at the bridge stood his bike up and to avoide a high-side, he streightened it out and went for a little off-road excursion which ended with his bike on its side in some deep sand. A few zip-ties and some ducktape later he was on his way again. No physical injury there thank goodness. It just disturbs me that so many R1's have gone down this year...I just KNOW that there is a number on mine somewhere...
Anyway...About 2/3's of the way through the ride, a rider on a yamaha FZ1 (?) low sided in a left hander, and according to Tom_Cat (Who was riding behind him) His bike caught something while sliding and both rider and bike went airborn. The bike went over a large log and down an enbankment, while the rider landed at the base of the log and in alot of pain. I dont know the details yet. and Im sure that when they are known, they will be posted. But from my observations, The rider (I do not know his name and he wasnt one of the regular riders from the local area) was in some pain and complained that his left shoulder was in pain and his back did hurt. There was talk that perhaps his shoulder could have been broken and possibly a cracked vertebrea. But he was sitting up, and talking. We found out later, at Karen's BBQ get together, that the rider had been ambulanced to an area where he was then life flighted to Sacred Heart for further evaluation. If you know more about this rider and his condition, feel free to post what you know. But we will keep him and his family in our families prayers and good thoughts.
I dont want to overshadow the ride with those two experiences. The ride was AWESOME! and the BBQ afterwards was really great! Thanks Karen for your warm hospitallity and great food!! And thanks to everyone who went on the ride! I believe we had somewhere between 25 and 30 riders total on the ride! :eek:
There were a few people on the ride with camera's and Im hoping that they will post pics of the ride soon.

And then what PoisonivyR1 wrote:

[Silverbullet]

Other than the miss-haps, looks like you guys had a good ride and grub. Glad to hear the two are ok:thumbup: . Hopefully I'll catch you on your next group ride:ride: .

[AndrewR6]

No kiddding. Glad you all are ok. It's actually kinda scary cause where that blue bike went down, looks exactly like the stretch of road where a friend of ours on sb.ws went down a year ago. Thats a tricky road if you're not careful.

[poisonivyR1]

how the heck did my post get there mike
oh man am i sore i wonder how the other guy feels any updates
on the bright side trackday the 18 19th my track bike is still in one piece

[superhawk ben]

Ha Eric how did your blinker manage to servive?:wtf: :crash: :yell:

[Jane Honda]

He did have a nice set of frame sliders. maybe that helped? :thinking:

[poisonivyR1]

dont know how it survied but ya frame sliders are a must i'm almost afraid to ride my bikes befor i get sliders the cool thing is the blinker still worked took her to the dealer today hopefully she'll be done in a couple of weeks but my buddy has a 03 R1 he never rides so i can always borrow it and i'm probably gonna buy it some day to have a liter back for the track welcome to my addiction

[Summer4ever]

[phatbstrd]

Glad you are ok Eric. Mike there are so many R1's going down because everybody owns one or two of the damn things LOL.

[Jane Honda]

Holy HELL! :eek: Just for new plastics and a front stay?? Or was there more damage that I didnt see?

[lotsamtbottls]

[phatbstrd]

Eric, are they going to total it?

[poisonivyR1]

nope not totaled the estimate was for everything scratched or scuffed the bike will look brand new and it's gonna cost 4700 not the 5625 the insuranc company already cut a check and funny the shop figured out how to do it for a lower price that and i've bought 2 bikes from them in 2 years they better be nice to me so no out of pocket and my baby comes home brand new :bounce:
