Hope you recover 110% and get back in the saddle soon and safe.

Mango looks like it's gone bad with those bad stains on it - you have to throw it away. Not good for your health.

I have a big dumpster at my house - I'll even come pick it up for you.

Beautiful photo's Mooty.

Well said, all my RS have been worth the least when I sold them but I feel I'm one of few who got the best value out of owning them..

Signal Yellow is a great color.
If you're seriously considering selling it, take a picture of it parked next to a typical Racing Yellow Porsche to show the contrast.

Here is how real "appreciation curves" of GT cars look like:




That no other form of "appreciation" matters as much.

This year it's been good so far. My wife keeps reminding that I'm not a spring chicken any longer. Oh well, I'm stubborn.

I'm no youngster either but riding is just too damn much fun. I think crashing is sadly part of the hobby.

Back on topic: well i'm off narcotics and can get back to depreciating the RS again.

PS: Surfer - what does QFT mean?

we must appreciate before we depreciate.

from a "lowly" s owner, it does have that defective 3rd pedal.

chris, get well fast, its what we get for wearing underwear and styrofoam buckets on our head doing 40+ descending....or just getting run off the road...

pastor of a church i used to attend once said, "never met a man on his death bed say i wish i woulda spend more time at the office....."
