Goodbye old girl. You will be missed.
Well it happened. She bit the biscuit today. Front end is totally mangled.
Had to put er down when a woman drove out in front of me at an intersection. "didnt see me coming" stops and i hammered her front bumped. tons of people came running, called ambulance. My braces jammed my lower lip, sore shoulder ankles an other wonderful bumps and bruises. Her fault but as we all know somehow i should have prevented it.. i hammered on the brakes hard for sure and got helicopter whipped.. luckily i had full face but no body armour.

Re: Goodbye old girl. You will be missed.
Ouch and ouch again. Glad you weren't hurt more. The bike will be written off but there will be another bike waiting for a good home.

Re: Goodbye old girl. You will be missed.
Well bummer for your bruises and the bike but glad you're in one piece.
Just today was a motorcycle accident right in front of where I work, the motorcyclist drove through a red light and then through the cars that were crossing the intersection, he hit one, and his one leg was quite a mess I heard.

Re: Goodbye old girl. You will be missed.
SUZUKI BANDIT 600 with 3 Givi trunks pre mounted. taking it in for a pre payment inspection just to be sure. its got 23000 kms mostly from a cross canada trip.
Excellent condition for a 2001 But we will see what the dealer has to say about it paying 4000 with the givi trunks. If nothing pops up i think its an excellent deal nice Red color lots of power

Re: Goodbye old girl. You will be missed.
A small Bandit should be a fine replacement. The 600 should be very entertaining for a long time.
Last week I saw a 400 Bandit from another part of the world. A really neat little bike. |
