No v4.0??
Now way. I'd say you got them all out of the way! Glad your ok.
No matter what bike you end up with I hope stay on the Fizzer Forum.
Good luck!
David, First and foremost I am glad you are okay, albeit sore. Do you think there will be a v4? or will you really defect to the Duc? That video should be a commercial on every single channel, especially during the nightly news. Jeez. Rest up!
Take care,
Deb
ouch! sorry to hear about the accident,,your write up reminded me a lot of bad memories,,,its not a good feeling at all....i remember once when i landed on the ground after flying about 20-30 feet,thanks to my gear , i stood up and people were still trying to approach me from the initial impact point,,,i didnt know what to do and i looked at my watch,,it was 10.21 pm this was like 12 years ago,,i never forget....
i hope you get what you want from this accident and im glad that noone got hurt! too much versions on 1 bike dude...you are not the luckiest guy are you
Hey Dave! We're all glad you came out again in one piece. The abrupt and unpredictable maneuvering of that Asian woman driver rings much truth. I swear it almost seemed like I witnessed this sort driving on more than one occasion in L.A.
BTW the Triumph Street Triple looks awesome.
P.S.
Nice forward roll.
I hope magseal does not TRY to rip you apart for this

Ty...
If V3.0 is totaled, I shall look at the Duc or Speed Triple. If not, I don`t know what I`ll do yet.
I know however that I will stop commuting on a bike... whatever's next will go to the track and the wkd canyon rides only.
I was thinking about him while writing my first post... he (now aka whisperquiet) already responded on SBN... haven`t had the time to answer everybody yet hehe
The 10 years of Judo paid off a few times already! I got the landing part down! now if I could only get the riding part down huh :rof:
David! Holy Crap!!! Utterly relieved to know you're OK! Extremely sad for your bike! You've got a Guardian Angel looking over you.
Send Yamaha a pic and respectfully bow out. Post pics of the bike if you have time.
Take care and please keep us informed.
Sounds terrible. If there's one thing that bothers me it's the inassertive drivers. You know, the ones that seem to drive uncertain about things. They'll drive you crazy with their indecision. I hate it when you're at a 4 way stop and you're approaching---no, make that slowing down---and they, paranoid, have to wait until you're completely stopped. Then, and only then, do they s-l-o-w-l-y start to cross the intersection. If they'd be more courteous, assertive, they would initiate the cross as soon as it was evident that you're coming to a stop so that you would'nt have to wait a frickin' half hour waiting for them to get the F out of the way. Sounds like that lady was the same way: unsure if it was safe or not to proceed, so does it half-ass leaving everybody else wondering what she's going to do.
Perhaps wearing all black and having a black bike isn't so badass after all. Gald to hear you're ok.
As others have mentioned, glad you are OK! A high percentage wise, a rider will encounter an accident within the first 5 minutes of the ride, so you just added another statistic to that group.
What kind of gear were you wearing? How did it hold up?
I agree with Biker Dude........The use of the horn may have saved your ass as you described that you had time to evaluate your corrective measures. If I feel or see threatened in anyway, I use my horn period! I probably use my horn too much, but I don't care, that's just the way I am when I ride.
As far the Mercedes? $$$$$$$
I feel that we as a Collective failed in not seizing possession of Wavex's V3.0 IMMEDIATELY he got word that he was going to Laguna until the bike could be trailered to the event.
We should hang our heads in shame.....in SHAME I tell you. :disapprove:
I'm so glad to hear you got out of that one with no broken bones, Wavex.....I wouldn't be too quick to sign anything for a while, however, just in case some post-accident trauma shows up.
Personally, I'm not a real fan of the naked version of the Fizzer, but Wavex'x bike was an exception. It was an awsome looking bike, and hate the thought of it being wrecked.
Wavex, you shouldn't have to pay a dime out of your pocket. Make sure you're compensated from her insurance and then some. I can feel your stiff neck all the way from Vegas.
