The deal was....lose the bike and I could get a fish tank! Tough,tough choice.

Gave up the bike but hear me out.
I have ridden a street bike since I was 18 and am turning the big 5 O this year. I didn’t have a drivers license until I was 24.
The thing is, I have never been in an accident. Yes, I have dropped many a bike but never a wreck.

With that said I believed the time to retire from riding had come.
It was just a matter of time and the law of probability was not in my corner.

Nice deluxe. Had similar bars on my soft tail. Not nearly like those ape hangars!

Looks like an old Kerker pipe on your Yamaha!

Toomey pipes 500, changed the power band a lot. Sound awesome. Other than that decked the heads and changed reeds. It was barely rideable as it was

The 350 I left stock. Boy I wish I had either of those now.2 strokes are great on the street.

That’s one bad bike. Friend set up one to drag. Crazy fast, it had an air shifter and was crazy fast.

I has one of those RZ 350's in yellow and black with an after market full faring and fork stabilizer. What a hoot to drive! Can only imagine the RZ 500.....

 

[Lowell Lemon]

@Mastiffsrule
Sold my RZ 350 about 5 or six years ago.....loved that bike. Love two strokes for street or dirt!

This sucks!

When the motorcycle suffers, the tank suffers.

I purchased a Suzuki M109 (great bike).
I got ran off the road the same day I got it. Bike is in better condition than I am.

I suffered a broken tibia, fractured ankle and 2 cracked ribs.

Of course this happened as im starting a frag tank in preparation for my 180 gallon.
I had just moved all my corals into the frag tank about a week before the accident. The accident was April 15th.
I have not been able to do ANYTHING with the tanks and lost all my corals.

I won't be able to fo anything with my reef tanks till about August.

Like I said,
This Sucks!

 

[Dj City]

Still can't wait to get back on the bike and I can't wait to set up my new 180 gallon reef even though it's gonna start with no coals.

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Wow, glad your ok, so to speak. The person that ran you off the road I hope stopped.

Keep us posted.

Maybe a good time to pick up another hobby. I did puzzles when I was laid up.

The car stopped and watched me slide and tumble down the road.
Once he (or she) saw that I was not dead, they hit the gas and was gone.

 

[Dj City]

Before the accident.

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Man, that infuriates me. What piece of garbage person runs from someone in need

I had someone cut me off and went down years ago. They drove away but idiot stopped at a red light. Another good person saw, got on the gas and cut him off at the light so he couldn’t move.

A little humor to help. I once hit duck as it flew by me. I was probably 20 or so. I think I had my Yamaha radian then. I lived in Florida. Going down the road next thing I know he hits me right on my right hand. He slid up my arm and bounced off my helmet. Slime from hand to head and put me into a scary wobble for a sec.

 

[Dj City]

Birds, deer, raccoons and possums seem to like ending their lives via motorcycle.

I was once hit smack in the chest by a bird.
Hurt like $#!t!
