"uhh some guy just backed into your bike and they are picking it up right now" !!!!!!! WTFFFF so of course I go running out the door to see what kinda condition my baby is in...

- Broken clutch lever
- Broke the left foot peg right off it
- Dent in my rad
- Big scuff in the tank
- Big scuff in the tail
- Bent the left bar end

But maybe i'll get a new paint job and pazzo levers outta this :P If I get new paint i am soooo going repsol !

Repsol? Like the CBR1000? The orange & white and what-not? That'd be cool. I'd like to see that.

Yeah, the thing about where it was his is.....well ill just show you once i bring my camera with me to work. But anyways buddy actually drove into it, he didnt just bump it and it fell over... I thought there would be more damage to the tail of it but apparently he hit the back tire and she just flew...

I might be the only one not into the respol paint scheme.

Now if it looked something like this i'd be down.

I just don't like the respol paint scheme on the RCv211.

Here are some better ones

Man, I dare someone to mess up my bike. If I could get/make someone else pay for a paint job, I'd go nuts with it.

I'm not surprised. I was able to RIDE mine yet they totaled it. Bike bits are *expensive*.

Expensive no lie! I told my seventh-graders yesterday (I forget what I was supposed to be teaching them) that if you bought a motorcycle piece by piece, it would cost you about a million dollars. I used my '91 Zephyr as a reference. I had to buy a shift lever one time (dropped it while in a u-turn, parking lot, 2mph), and it cost me 50 bucks! Plus, shituff. :o
