eagleeye Posted September 1, 2010 Share #28 Posted September 1, 2010 Squid, I'm glad to hear that you both came out of a bad situation, relatively OK. Could have been worse as you know. Good luck shopping for a new bike. Are you going to be able to salvage any of your acc. off of the old bike? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted September 1, 2010 Share #29 Posted September 1, 2010 I feel your pain. Road Rash is nothing to take lightly. Hurts like 'H'. Glad you're both relatively OK otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solodadof2 Posted September 1, 2010 Share #31 Posted September 1, 2010 Glad you are okay, I Know a member who totalled his bike and was able to remove all accessories installed. Ram Mounts, chrome, aftermarket seats, ETC. You may also conider a buyback in which case you could part the bike out or rebuild it if it is not bad.

N3FOL Posted September 5, 2010 Share #40 Posted September 5, 2010 I'm very glad to know that you and Mrs. KiteSquid are doing ok after the accident. Heal quick and happy shopping for a new bike.

KiteSquid Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share #41 Posted September 8, 2010 I am uploading some photos of the RSV to Webshots.com URL to be posted soon. I test rode a 2010 Honda Gold Wing and I am 99% sure I want one.... Now to get the insurance claim settled and to find a new or used Gold Wing. Anybody know of any good deals on an ABS equipped Gold Wing? I will also be selling off some RSV accessories that were never installed or I took off before the wreck. Gotta inventory them and post to the classified section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know how close this place is to you but Id bid 20000.and see what goes then as high as 22185 , Thats what Honda of Russellville sells the ABS model for http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Gold-Wing-ABS-2010-HONDA-GL1800-GOLDWING-ABS-GOLD-WING-GL-1800-NEW-10-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem563f3df7dbQQitemZ370428213211QQptZUSQ5fmotorcycles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_bar Posted September 8, 2010 Share #44 Posted September 8, 2010 Glad to hear you're both okay... All things considered, that bike held up pretty good, I'm impressed that it's in as good shape as it is, despite being written off... Looking at the pictures was tough, as I'm riding the Blue/Black '07 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxitdude Posted September 8, 2010 Share #48 Posted September 8, 2010 I am thinking if you have an 2007 Venture you should sell it right away. Totaled mine on 7-6-10 and State Farm paid $14,300.00 I could not figure that out either but was very happy. Glad to hear you and the misses are Ok.

FutureVentures Posted September 8, 2010 Share #49 Posted September 8, 2010 Glad to hear you're both "ok". One question if I may, based on this statement: "I got 1st degree road rash, a bruise on my chest where I broke the windshield and a really sore and bruised thigh where the clutch handle pressed against me. Neither of us have broken bones and MrsSquid is VERY thankful for wearing an armored textile jacket as it saved her shoulder." Any idea how she got road rash on her arm if she was wearing a jacket? Did the jacket tear, or ride up on her arm thus exposing it? Inquiring minds wanna know, for our own safety's sake. Best regards to a speedy recovery.

Red Rider Posted September 8, 2010 Share #50 Posted September 8, 2010 Frist thing, glad your ok. I hate to hear of any one getting hurt on a bike. What did they do with the bike? Are you selling it for parts? I ask cause I'd like to get a pillow top seat on my 2000 RSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
