[QUOTE="Just Passing Thru, post: 696698, member: 13520"] Hi Chris, Yes, my 2004 BMW R1150 GS Adventure that I used in Europe was written off. I was stopped in traffic for the car ahead of me that had stopped, and some lame brain 18 year old with a 17 day old driver's licence who was yapping on his cell phone rammed me into the car in front. The back hatch and rear window of the car ahead of me was also smashed. The idiot had been following me since the gas station 1.2 kilometers back, so its not like he didn't know I was there. Also, my max speed was 35 kph as we were in town. Funny thing was, lying in the hospital I started thinking about my riding style. Well my 34 out of 35 year accident free riding style will not change since I really didn't have an accident...I was stopped for several seconds. A few good things came of it even though my leg isn't 100% perfect yet. You have a different outlook on life and I bought a Porsche Carrera after watching The Bucket List, my 42 year dream come true. Life is short!!! No plans for any bike as a replacement as I'm not thrilled with what any manufacturer has to offer; maybe an MV Agusta as a toy or an older mid 90s Moto Guzzi Daytona or Sport. My 2003 BMW R1150 GS Adventure is being shipped over as a replacement and I'll use my other GS or KLR 650 here. Its not like I will be missing much...you know our local roads. What is CFR? I'm looking forward to this summers tour since I only got a few days in last summer in Europe. [/QUOTE]
