Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

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!

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

wikked_spree57 i wonder were you went to .... glad to here your doing better.. dont give up you will be on a scooter again...

Yeah I was one of the popular guys here, sold thousands of parts.will still keep sharing the love!

Glad to hear you're doing ok. Tbone on 2 wheels is a tough one to survive. I hope you can get back on the road

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?

Greetings:

Searched for posts authored by Lunytune. Most recent was June 2010.

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.

Greetings:

Yes, hope nothing bad happened. Perhaps he just got a Life.

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!

Greetings:

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...)

Glad to hear your okay. I dont get on here as often either. Things just aren't the same as they used to be.
