Hello to everyone. My name is Ryan. I'm 24 and I live at the Jersey shore and am (hopefully sooner than later) getting ready to become a Fury owner. After spending a few hours yesterday gawking at one in a local Honda/Suzuki showroom, I have made my decision. I'm not a very patient person and being from the Jersey shore, one shouldnt expect any different. So heres my problem.
I recently owned a 2009 Yamaha R1. Everyone always said to me "Theres 2 kinds of riders".....I'm sure you know the rest. Well I went down. HARD. 2 weeks ago, at one of our lovely jughandles around here or Jersey lefts as some call them, I was clipped or SMASHED IN TO by an elderly gentleman. Leathers are my friend so I have very minimal road rash and only a broken hand and ankle. My bike however is totaled.
I want to get back on a bike asap, but I'll be damned if it's gunna be another crotch rocket. Yes the situation would habve been the same on any bike, but the fact of the matter is, everytime I pulled out of my driveway, my fiance would look at me like it was the last time she's ever see me alive. I don't want her feeling like that anymore but I don't wanna stop riding either.
My cast will be off in another 5 weeks or so bringing us towards the end of september. Should I wait to buy this beast until early next year? Ill be 25 in February and my insurance will drop a bit and my fiance feels I should give myself some time of a bike. Or should I quit my pitty parade and go buy 1 when the cast comes off?
