ltljohn Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Sorry to hear this. So you are mostly OK. Mend quickly. 1 Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Very sad to see and hear. Get well soon! 1 Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Oh my, glad you are (semi😳) ok. Heal quickly. 1 Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 UCH Watch out for that sudden stop The lasts time I went off-road I went a$$ over teakettle too. I missed out on the broken body bits though.... Mend proper & fast. Link to comment
Bud Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks for the good wishes. Progressive will be here Wed am. See what they have to say. I think the front end damage will make it a total loss 1 Link to comment
szurszewski Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Well shit, Bud. I'm glad you're (mostly!) ok. Laura says don't do that again! Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I agree with Laura! The good news is you have time to heal up and still join us in Ellijay for START! Get better, we're grateful it's the pride that's taken the biggest hit. Thinking of you buddy. 1 Link to comment
Bud Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Got a pic today of the forks. Could be the drugs talking but the forks look tweaked to me. Link to comment
szurszewski Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It does look odd, but not a whole lot. Hard to say with the angle of pic and all the other tweaked bits on the bike (lights, mud, fender, etc). If they do total and you don’t want to buy it back, maybe let me/us know - I might have some time for a project this summer.... Link to comment
terryofperry Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 How goes the healing Bud? Did the insurance folks pay a visit as planned? Get well, it would be good to see you at FART. Terry Link to comment
RandyShields Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 So sorry to see this. Glad you are healable. Link to comment
Bud Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Healing is taking a little longer than I like, but then again old pharts don't heal quickly. Repair estimates for bike and sidecar are now north of $7,000 Life goes on. Won't be fixed for a while. Two BMW dealers refused to work on the bike due to their liability insurance policies. Looks like Hannigan will do repairs to both Hannigan and the bike. Always an adventure. 1 Link to comment

RandyShields Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Pretty. And 30 pounds lighter! Link to comment
Bud Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 53 days later I rode again for the first time. Right wrist pretty sore so I only rode for half and hour. First ride on the R 1200 R I bought last month. Quick, nimble, lots of low end grunt, holds a line. I think I'm going to like this bike. 2 Link to comment
