It hurts my heart that this happened to that sweet little bike but I'm so glad you're still here, I hope you're healing well.

So glad to hear you and see that you're upright, Quasi! My heart still drops when I see the damages to your bike! It's a miracle that you were not killed or injured more than you were. You're definitely walking proof that safety gear is a must at all times. Continued prayers are going up for your complete healing.

Hope you are fine and riding fit by now. Stay strong.

Glad to see you up and around. The KZread and motorcycle communities have your back brother

Glad to see you back on your feet. Wish you a speedy recovery ❤

I’m really out of words 😢 knowing now what happened on that day gives me chills… the ground is covered in snow here in 🇨🇦 so the Busa is covered in the garage. I’m 47 years young and never been in a wreck but watching that footage is proof that no matter how careful you are on the streets… you can’t react to a wreckless driver coming from behind… best of luck on future project and mostly I wish you full recovery ❤️‍🩹 ✌🏼😎👍🏼

Sir glad you are alive. That had to have been a scary situation man that sucks.

Glad to see you’re on your feet. It doesn’t look like there’s much left besides the engine. Cracked frame, bent subframe and tweaked forks.

It's good to see you're doing relatively ok. Still can not believe that happened to you. Rest up, and I'm looking forward to what you do next. Just please... don't try to rush getting back on a bike. Take care Quasi.

Staying positive. Noticed you weren't in a neck brace or in a wheelchair. All is good , you will be fine. Your bike is broken but you will take pleasure in bringing it back to life. It won,t be as bad as you think . Keep in mind parts are parts. Pop

I'm slowly getting better. I can walk around and I'm mobile again after 3 weeks. Being able to shower myself and get upstairs/downstairs at my house is a definite improvement, so life is improving. It's a shame that the Hunter was retired so soon, but I'm glad to be on this side of the dirt. If I can't salvage the bike and turn it into something useful, then I'll part it out and start over with something else. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I wish you get better soon! Really enjoyed all C125 videos. I bought a vespa after watching your channel. Rode it maybe 20 times, then it sat for 4 months so I sold it. Still have all my fancy riding gear, so maybe next season I'll get something to make good use of it. Cheers.

Good luck, although it’s looks toast, it will be interesting to see what comes outta it? Hope your healing progress continues to full a mend.

Wow! What a shame. Glad you are at least able to tell the story about it.

Deliver this bike to india for repairs and it'll be completely done in less than $1000. Maybe even 400-500 dollars. It would be cheaper to do in india than anywhere else. Also you'd also get the chance to visit india and recover your health in beautiful peaceful places. Glad to see you back.

You’ve got your settlement for the bike, now it’s time to settle the rest…. Glad to see you standing brother

I am so glad that you sound better and getting up and down. That is such a blessing. Holy shit you really scared everyone this time. The sound at end of the ride vlog was very eerie. I hope you heal fast

I’m not sure what the insurance payout and purchase back amounts were but if it was me, I would cut my losses and get another bike the same and use the salvageable parts for the new one. I know from experience wreck repairs can end up being sentimental money pits. I wrecked my old z750 then spent a small fortune fixing it because I liked that particular bike. It ended up looking as good as it previously did but had continuous gremlins with the electrical and mechanics that I could never quite resolve. Get well soon as I enjoy your adventures.

Yep, I've been down that path a few times with previous motorcycles and cars. If this frame is compromised at all (aside from the removable rear subframe), then I'll abandon that project and sell parts to recover $$$ toward the next bike. I'm tentatively planning to get another identical Hunter 350, so many of the parts from the damaged bike will be reusable as spares for the new one. The complete engine and ECU assembly should be saleable... or it could be an interesting power plant for another project. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

As a hunter owner myself it is saddening to say but that puppy is not worth fixing IMHO. Lucky they are so cheap, maybe a new one on the way and save yourself a bunch of pain. At least good parts could be carried over!

I really hate to make this suggestion to you looking at the situation, but I love the content you published on the hunter so, I'd hate you to just give up. Even if the Hunter is retired, RE does offer another bike in this segment called the Meteor. You can check that out for your next project.

Howdy, and thanks for the support! Unfortunately, I didn't ride with the Fuel-X long enough to form any opinions or gather metrics for testing. The final ride video ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/pK15rq-tdcjSaMo.html ) was the only day that I rode with the Fuel-X and the Coffman's Shorty exhaust, and that was only ~20 miles before I got squashed. The engine definitely had more power and breathed better with the Coffman's exhaust and the DNA Stage-2 air intake. As I merged onto the freeway and entered the HOV lanes on I-10, the Hunter wasn't struggling at 70 mph like it usually did... it felt like 75-80 would be "easy" compared to before those upgrades. The Fuel-X was part of that equation for the air/fuel ratio adjustment, but I wasn't able to do any further testing. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I saw that wreck months late, so this is probably something that might bug people, sorry, don’t mean to. But first, I am assuming from the the existence of other recent videos that you are healed up now, pretty much. Hope so! And importantly, did that Jeep driver get found out and get sent to a reckoning in court? If that hit was on purpose, I hope he gets taken apart. If it was an accident then I hope he still will have to make things right. Drivers that are so aggressive are a terrible thing they need corrective feedback they can comprehend. The vehicle is a weapon at speed. They point it at people and there have to be consequences. I hope you’re fine in any case, I hope you see your justice and I hope the jeep guy sees his side of that justice happen. Wow, what a thing to do. Anyway, I really like the small bore life thing you do, it’s a great concept.

Thanks for the feedback and the support! Yes, I'm back on two wheels again, but not back to my "normal" state yet. I have a lot of residual nerve and joint issues that are slowly healing... hopefully completely, or at least enough that I can enjoy riding again. The driver was arrested at the scene of the accident after the police and first responders reviewed my GoPro helmet footage of the incident. He was charged with AADW (aggravated assault with a deadly weapon), reckless driving, speeding, failure to control lane/speed, illegal lane change, and a few other things. The Houston District Attorney advised they may upgrade the AADW charge (or add a concurrent charge) to second-degree attempted murder. I haven't been contacted regarding a deposition or court date, so I assume the court date is still pending.

Howdy, Paul! No, I don't have any real concerns or anxiety about getting back out on two wheels. However, I'll probably avoid commuting by motorcycle through the busiest parts of Houston for a while, if not indefinitely. The traffic conditions and drivers' aggression are really getting out of hand over the past couple of years, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down or improving. I'll stick to the side roads and cruising on the back highways for my two-wheeled fun. If my stars align properly, then I'll probably move out of the Houston area sometime in the near future... somewhere farther west or out of southern Texas entirely. The overall mood and general quality of life has gone down the toilet since C-19. I think I'm ready to go back to rural living in a small town with fewer people, less aggression, and a lot more sanity. I just need to convince the rest of my family and work on the logistics to effect the change. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

my wing is here anytime you want it. its not being rode. i went and looked at the burgman and he said it only had about 300 miles on it. but both tires was wore out and you could tell the dash has been changed. so i walked away. so i want another bike but i need a truck that gets better than 9 mpg.

Hi Aaron,, name is Charlie and I"m a truck driver. I live east of Tulsa and drive Tulsa to Houston frequently. I am an Ultra Glide 2010 owner and was watching a bunch of Classic 350 video's when I started watching HNTR 350 video's then saw your series on this bike. You had published several video's, some of which are gone now. I used to live in Spring Branch and was born in Belaire , Tx - Aaron. Very sorry this happened to you my young buddy, Very hard to take. I quit watching you for a couple of months and remember you were riding the Hunter as your pickup truck has some major trouble back then as well. Hope you still have SOMETHING to drive to do your work. Hope you weren't seriously injured and can make a total recovery. Anyway, i quit watching you back when you said you were making plans on riding to Missouri and I figured maybe you were going to take the Hunter up there. The Hunter 350 wasn't even a year old Aaron and it's gone. Still, since the engine is part of the frame on the Hunter, it did good I guess. The engine didn't come off the bike and it took a powerful impact. Will you plan on buying a 2024 Hunter or are you going to try something different. I have been eyeing the BSD GOLD STAR and also the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 which just came out. Take care man! You are so lucky. I hate the 4 wheeler drivers of Houston and Dallas, they are totally out of their heads man. Take Care Aaron and get well dude.

That's a good question. The insurance repair costs are usually inflated to include full retail parts costs, dealer labor, handling/transport fees, and other factors. The actual repair cost might be as little as $500-1000 if I can source the parts cheaply and perform the labor myself. However, if the frame is compromised, then I will sell parts from this bike (e.g., engine, ECU, etc) to recover my "buyback" cost. I paid $1875 to get the bike back from the insurance company after they paid me the full value of the bike (plus taxes and the value for a few of the damaged upgrades). In the worst scenario, I should be able to sell the wheels and the complete engine (with ECU, throttle body, main wiring harness, etc) for at least $1800. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

He nearly hit me while trying to quickly (illegally) change lanes directly next to me, so I tooted my horn to let him know I was there. This enraged him and he laid into his horn as I continued down the highway behind other traffic at a safe distance and speed. He chased me down nearly 1/4 mile down the highway and struck me from behind (rear-left) at 80+ MPH while I was traveling ~55 MPH. I was tumbling on the pavement before I realized that I had been hit. He was arrested by Houston Police at the scene for aggrivated assault with a deatly weapon and several other traffic charges (speeding, reckless driving, improper lane usage, etc).

I've been riding on the streets for almost 40 years and well over 2M miles. This was the first time that I've been down on the pavement or had significant injuries. I've had plenty of close calls and a few low-speed drops because of inattentive cagers in the past, but never anything serious until now. If you've never ridden on the streets before, then I strongly suggest taking not only the MSF Basic Riders Course (usually required for licensing), but also some advanced MSF courses that teach evasive maneuvers and panic stops. Those advanced techniques will save your skin in city traffic. Safety gear is also extremely important. I wouldn't have walked away from my wreck if I hadn't been wearing all of my safety gear. The bare minimum for every ride is: helmet, jacket, gloves, and motorcycle-specific boots/shoes (include ankle protection). Armored riding pants are a smart idea, but the added heat can be problematic for southern climates. Good luck with your into to motorcycling, and I hope you find a good fit! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I am with super Steve do make all the court dates to make sure that idiot pays the highest cost for what he did

Chopper build?

Would it be easier to part this one out and buy another new one?

I won't know until I tear into it and perform a full diagnosis of the frame and other pieces. The forks will need to be disassembled and rolled to see if they're still flat (not warped). If those are OK, then the big items will be the frame integrity on the left side and the rear subframe condition. If there are any stress-fractures or breaks, then it would be too much trouble to weld and recertify the frame. If the frame checks out, then I'll probably finish the parts list to see what the restoration/conversion project costs might be. The short list items are: - rear subframe (luckily, it appears to be removable/replaceable) - rear grab handles - rear outer fender - rear tail light and turn signals - seat - fuel tank (maybe salvage/reuse the fuel pump & sender) - passenger footpeg (not sure if the frame mount can be bent/salvaged) - left footpeg trellis, footpeg, mounting bolts, etc (unknown frame mount damage) - shift lever and linkage - center stand - side stand - handlebars, grips, etc - clutch perch (?) - clutch lever - headlight bucket and front bezel - fork stays for headlight bucket - speedometer/gauge cluster - front forks (?) - front wheel bearings (likely stressed or damaged on twist/impact) - ... (still compiling a mental list) We'll see how things turn out in a few months when I have time, money, and good enough health to work on the project. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Ieri un tale ha investito una guardia giurata che gli ha chiesto di spostare la macchina dalle strisce pedonali. L'ha trascinata per 50 metri,per fortuna senza gravi ferite. Ripreso dalle telecamere di sicurezza. Tutto il mondo è paese.🙂

Could it be Grenada

All those accessories and no crash guard?

I had one on order, but it hadn't arrived yet. The crash guard wouldn't have protected the rear of the motorcycle... not to mention my leg or hip from the homicidal cager's Jeep Gladiator. 😒 --QM

Is it worth salvage vs taking the totaled claim? PS. How are you healing?

@QuasiMotard

I'm healing slowly and trying to find a new "normal". I dont heal as fast as I did back in my younger days. I'm doing physical therapy now, so that's making everything hurt all over again! 🤣😒 The buyback amount was $1875. My cursory overview shows that I should be able to salvage about $650 worth of accessories and upgrades from the bike (parts that weren't damaged) that I can reuse on the next project. That leaves a $1200 damaged hulk behind for further salvage or rebuild. If the frame isn't viable, then I'll strip the wheels, complete engine w/ ECU and wiring harness, and maybe a few other parts to sell on the used market. I hope that I can break even in the end... we'll see! 😉👍 --QM

@@robarnt6 Unfortunately, the eyewitness testimonies from witnesses at the scene and my video footage proved that it was an intentional hit. There wasn't any grey area on how (or why) it happened. The Jeep driver sped up from a dead stop about 1/8 mile behind me, chased me down, and intentionally swerved into me at ~80 mph. It was road rage, plain and simple. 😒 --QM

?? What happened to the Jeep guy? Was he held accountable? Or did he walk free? It seemed intentional on Jeep's part Please elaborate on this side also

The witness statements from other motorists and my video footage show that it was an intentional act of road rage. The driver was arrested on the scene and charged with AADW (aggravated assault with a deadly weapon) and reckless driving. His first court arraignment was today (I think), but I don't have any further information. I'm letting the Houston DA's office take care of all of that... I don't want to be involved any more than I have already been forced to be thus far. I won't publish the video or elaborate further until I have clear legal direction on the case because that may affect the criminal trial or complicate other insurance issues. When all of that has been concluded, I might publish the complete (unedited) ride vlog from that day which includes the full crash footage. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

​​​@@QuasiMotard Thanks for replying. I respect your judgement. Will surely look forward for an update on this whenever you feel is the right time Personally if I was in your place, this person would be a marked man, no matter the consequences. But then, that's me. I follow a simple logic - good for good, bad for bad. But I also envy your patience, logic & judgement. An eye for an eye would make the world blind, but then sir, you are you & me is me & like I said earlier - I envy you. Being over emotional is not the answer. But in my part of the world - this is how we do things & this is the exact reason why people Control themselves to begin with. Because they know retribution will happen no matter how long it takes. This works in our society & culture. I only have respect for you & always wish the best for you, my friend.

If the Jeep was just a foot ahead it would have hit you directly, what was he doing, was it a drunk driver, but it's the middle of the day so who drinks that early... Why didn't he hit the break on his Jeep.

The Jeep driver hit me intentionally in a road rage incident. He was arrested at the scene of the accident and charged with aggrivated assault with a deadly weapon, speeding, and reckless driving. The city attorney discussed the option to upgrade the charge to second-degree attempted murder, but I don't know if that happened or not. 🤷‍♂️😒 --QM

Perhaps a 350 swapped into a Honda trail?🤔😂

Actually. The gas tank size would really hurt that concept unless you added a second tank to the front like the Aussies do. (Aside front the blasphemy of putting a RE engine in a Honda!😂. It probably wouldn’t fit anyway.

Depending on the direction this goes you at least have a pretty good fuel injected engine that could be retrofitted into another bike to make a nice project bike.
