They guy who had it decided it was a puzzle needing to be dismantled...what a fool. Then he had no idea what to do to get "HIs puzzle" back together again so I bought is for $100.00 US dollars, put it together and POOF I nice 750 Bonnie but its gone and now I have pretty much the same case. Young guy messed with the electical and now has no idea what to do...POOF I have a nice Honda with only 6000 mile on it for #200.00 US dollars...thank god for foolish people....lololol

Went down paid him, it started it, red lined it and kicked it into first with a big handfull of front brake. Free'd the clutch plates up a treat. Felt guilty all the way home till I saw the look on her face when I said here's your new bike. Welcome back, it must be great, I know what it feels like if I don't get out on the bike for a couple of weeks.

A mate who shall remain nameless has a distinct lack of riding talant. 2 weeks after he totalled his VFR400 he got a loan and bought a GSXR400 - that lasted 2 days until he blew it up so he got another loan and bought a ZXR400. Because he keeps totalling bikes he could only afford the TPO insurance policy (at a whopping �1400) 3 weeks after he bought it, out for a hack and he lowsides the ZXR and ends up in a hedge with a broken wrist. The fuzz were really good, came along and got an ambulance to cart him off to hospital. 6 hours later his dad goes and picks him up from Colchester general and he sees his ZXR at the side of the road just parked up with the keys in it. So he covers it in leaves to try and hide it and sends his brother back to collect it. 20 minutes later its gone. So why didn't the police take it to the police compound or something?
