The back story.
Bought my first r6 back in July. Bought it for just over 5 thousand, Loved the crap out of it. Was a lime green 07 that needed some loving.
I wasnt riding here. Just posing with my new bike.
Between July and December I put about 10,000 miles on it, and about a month of that time I wasnt driving after I chopped the end of my finger off. :sing
Then Dec. 6th I got hit by a car on my way home from work and totaled the bike. Shattered my shoulder in the process and banged up my knee.
Had shoulder surgery 2 weeks after to have metal plates put in to hold what was left of my collar bone together.
Spend another 5 weeks on the couch after that before I has to go back to work. (Marine Helicopter CrewCheif).
Thats me in the back.
Shortly after that I found out that my bike had officially been totaled and the insurance company was gonna make some offers. After having my lawyer harass them and not letting them lowball me, I ended up getting almost $13000 for the bike, the gear, the loss of use, and interest.
So id been looking for a new bike when my buddy offered to sell my his 08 Raven that he had been using as a track bike. He'd tracked it about 4 times in the last 6 months, so it had some love on it, but it wasnt completely burned out. (I hope)
Ended up buying it off of him for 4000, and he included front and rear stands, and some tire warmers, and a brand new GPR v4. Not a bad pickup.
Here she is when I took it to the DMV for Vin Verification. Michigan Bike so no Emissions crap to remove this time around.
And once I dropped it off at work.
