Yup, I'm still here.

Post by wikked_spree57 »

Haven't been able to visit this forum in FOREVER. That's because I've been in and out of hospitals, surgery etc until now. Some time ago I had a nasty scooter accident that will likely prevent me from ever being able to ride a scooter or motorcycle again. I was running down a main stretch and got T-boned at an intersection. By the grace of God I somehow survived but I now have screws, plates and bars holding my lower back together and my neck will never be the same. And no I was not wearing a helmet, double lucky me. I've posted the last scooter in my collection for sale or part out... :( I'll still be here to chat from time to time and if the deals come by I will grab parts bikes for you guys. This forum has always served me well and I'm pretty sure at least 80% of my scooters went to forum members... I had 5 of them!

Hi wikked... :hi:
So sorry to hear of your troubled world.
Life changes in an instant sometimes.
May you continue to heal and grow stronger in every way.
I face the same dangers of being hurt badly,
and have been doing that for nearly 50 years.
So far, so good, with a little help from the Man.
Thanx for checking in... :urban:
Real glad you're still here... :thumbwink:

Thank ya, I'm glad to still be alive. I'm not supposed to ride anymore, but I'm sure someday when I finish recovering I will be dumb enough to try. One year of being in and out of surgery, constant pain, etc is terrible. I'll upload the accident pictures when I find them, I was riding a 98 Jog when this happened, I had just bought it and was on my way home with it... It was October last year.

Doctors keep telling me I will make a full but really slow recovery. They say I shouldnt ride anymore but where there's a will there's a way. I've been T-boned at high speed in demolition derbies and all kinds of stuff like that and it never phased me... And it was a Ford Escort that hit me :crazy:

I actually had to go in this morning for X-rays and the doctors say I'll be able to ride again in about a year, but if anything close to this happens I wont be so lucky next time. I don't know how I survived it. That video that circulated around for awhile where the dude got hit on a moped and flung thru the air, that was pretty much me. Nothing left of the bike and all I remember was getting hit and waking up in the hospital.

I remember a guy I was good friends with called Lunytune here, he disappeared a few months before my accident. He ever return to the site?

Thanks, that's what I thought. He was gone for quite some time already. I used to talk to him alot in here, he just kinda disappeared so I always wondered what happened.

Wheelman I'm glad to see you're still here. That's a name I will never forget. Only guy I remember for carrying scooters up and down stairs and building inside an apartment. Lol. I'm glad to be back here again, I love this forum... tried for what seems like years for a Mod spot but I learned most of what I know on scooters here. My death will be the only thing causing me to leave permanently... haha!

The Aero (120 Pounds) was easy to carry up the 17 steps. The Elite (140)got a little harder. I'm not even THINKING about trying that with the Reflex. (375 pounds...)
