    My 2009 RSV has been repaired and is back safe and sound in the garage

    I must have missed your original post about having the accident but that was just after we had hit the deer coming back from Freebirds on our new RSV. We had it for all of three daqys and had around 500 miles on it. We only did 4K damage. Anyway, after being without the scoot for almost a month, yes it does feel great to have it back, doesn't it?!!?

     

    I couldn't agree more about the anemic rear lighting, and have added more lighting on the rear on mine. There is a nice LED unit for trailers that has all the functions but you need to install a five wire to four wire adapter to make it work right. It is a strip light that comes in either clear or red, has 9 led's and mounts on the trunk mount between the helmet locks pretty easily that a lot of members have added. Works great!!!

    OK for those that don't know him, Gary's last name is Shwartz and he hails from SE PA. Yes, the other vehicle stopped, and for now we will say it was a no fault situation. At this very minute, the operation was a success and it holds water. Right now it is being sewn togewther and they should be on the road within an hour or two. Other than a fairing and knee piece, I had everything he needed to get it back together.

     

    We're all glad no one besides the bike was hurt!!

    On the way home from Big Tom's M&E this morning, Earl (Skydoc) and Gary were changing lanes to enter a gas station and Gary got sideswiped by a car on the right side. They had just left an intersection at a light when this happened. Luckily this was a low speed accident and Gary is fine even though he did go down. The bike should be easily repairable with mostly plastic damage. The main problem is a ruptured plastic elbow for the water pump being cracked and all the coolant is gone.

     

    There is a trailer on the way to pick up the bike and bring it over here where we can piece it back together. I should have everything we need to get him back on the road again.
