The Story:
Coming off an '04 600rr, I picked up a '14 R6. It was love at first sight. Unfortunately, it was a short affair. She and I had a major argument over a corner earlier this year. I leaned, she leaned, and then Holy shit!....so there I was....sliding on the ground, looking at my bike....looking back at me. She was pissed, so pissed in fact, she hit a tree and committed suicide. :crying: I ran to her, but seeing the forks, the outlook was not good.
I had it towed to the local race shop, they said she was a goner. The triple was cracked and insurance wouldn't rebuild.
THEN!
The insurance adjuster was like....so bro' here is your settlement. You have some serious equity. Let us know what you get!
I started searching for the right "one", after several weeks of being without two-wheeled companionship, I saw it. There were two, identical, but this one said "TAKE ME HOME!"....The other didn't say anything, it was like a big ass piece of cardboard. A few hours later, she was mine. I was almost sad to have lost the first, but glad to have the opportunity to begin building again. I don't know if I necessarily deserve to win anything, I'm just glad to be back on two wheels...uninjured...and tooling on a bike again, so in that regard I guess I already am winning.
The best part: only 33 more payments....and she is all mine. :grin:
