Yeah barring major snow I'm sure thirdgen will be up for any mayden voyage road trip on his next bike.

The cbr value is the suckage. The bike was "worth" a great deal more than $3500. I understand its real world value. But its a perfect example of the item insured being worth more to the owner than what some paper value says it is.

RIP the highest milage sportbike I've ever known! Your true potential never known. Your exsistance always missed. May ur heavonly roads always be fresh concrete with an endless supply of petro so you never have to stop. May you reach those magestic mountain tops through those twisty mountain roads that go forever into the worlds most gorgous backdrops. *

* I haven't slept in a day, this was done on my blackberry, and who wants me to write their eulogy?

I meant the crash, but I see your point.

Sorry to see your mishap, and I can totally understand the sentimental attachment. I was sorry to see my old F3 (with a mere 35k) become a 'total' unexpectedly after my brother wrecked it for me and then some douche helped himself to the bodywork while it was sitting @ the dealer getting an estimate. But that led me directly to my trusty old VFR, which has been my favorite bike for the past decade. Like others said - bikes can be replaced, but you can't & it's great that the bike paid the price instead of your carcass!

Good luck bike-hunting. One GREAT place to keep an eye on is the ADVRider.com flea-market. Not lots of sportbikes show up on there, but some, and very often they are smokin' deals!

it sucks to hear that man. I know you were really attached to that bike like a family member. I wish you could have reached both of your major goals man. maybe your next bike will reach those goals and then some.
