Just gotta share the story

[Bayouscoot]

For the past 14 years I've owned Honda V-fours for my primary ride.
Mostly VFRs with two STs thrown into the mix.

Anyway, I've been a member of VFRdiscussion.com since 2002 when I got my 6th gen VFR. The site is very well run and privately owned by a guy named Miguel Mayo in Colorado Springs.

The VFR guys have a rally every spring around the Deals Gap area and this year Miguel was on his way there and was hit by a cager crossing the double yellow in a curve--totalled Miguel's bike, a 5th gen VFR (1997-2001).

Well, the membership of VFRD gathered our funds together and raised enough cash for Miguel to pick up his new 2010 VFR1200 over the weekend!

Is there a better moto-forum story out there??? I think not!

Wow! What a great gesture. I'm sure he was very surprised and will never forget that moment when he saw the bike And you're right that is the best moto-forum story I have ever head of.

That is so cool to see people help each other like that. It's good to know that there are still some good people left in this world.

I read about that over on ST.N. I hadn't followed up on it. Good to know they were able to get him back on the road after all he did for their community.

Hey Cos,

The recipient (Hispanic Slammer/Miguel Mayo) of that new VFR lives in Colorado Springs.

We did the same for a well known guy on the FJR forum some years back. Always good to spread some positive motorcycle Karma!
