jetgirl Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I wrote that my bike was destroyed after nearly 20,000 miles and my right leg was seriously injured because of an inattentive driver. I still planned to get another bike when I was able to ride again. Secretly I worried that my leg might not ever heal well enough. PT has been going well. My knee is bending more and I can take a few steps unassisted. I was still going to wait to buy but then I thought "What if my bike gets sold to someone else because I didn't buy it?" I had to have the 2015 liquid graphite. They're a little hard to find at a reasonable price. I saw one last month on Craigslist for $5700. It had 1800 miles on it and some light cosmetic mods. It was 340 miles away from my home. We called the guy and drove down to pick it up. It looked and sounded great! Problem: The seller didn't have the proper paperwork. We asked before if he did, he said yes and he didn't. Really? We drove away saying we'd come back and he promised to get the title and remove the listing. I didn't think it was really going to happen, But it did! We got it yesterday. We were physically unable to test ride it but at only 1800 miles, it should be fine (I hope). The mods are nice but some I'll swap out to my liking. Black shorty levers and tail tidy are nice. Radiator guard is okay but I'd rather have an Evotech. Seat cowl. Eh, doesn't matter. Tank grips. Not sure if I want them. Bar end mirrors. Stockers aren't great but I prefer how they look. Fly screen. Looks nice but so did my Givi. LEDs. I don't like them. Chain guard. I don't like it. I can see too much chain. Need stock. Here's proof that it happened . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugson2wheels Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Glad to hear you're okay! Congratulations on the new bike. I wish cops would be much more strict with people who text and use their devices without a hands free. ? If god created us in his image, does that mean god is an egomaniac as well?

Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted March 2, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 Gee-sus...why is it when I hear of an accident down in the US, 99% of the time it turns out some stupid jackazz either doesnt have insurance or in this case enough of it,... so the victim of said accident is told "heh well sorry I mangled you but that's just tough sh*t for you, later sucka!"?? Does anyone have insurance? Whats the mandatory minimum coverage? Its baffling. IF I were king, as penalty both thumbs would be slowly removed from these idiots with dulled hedge trimmers, they'd then be incarcerated and forced to work knitting toques and mittens (with thumbs) for all the "refugees" that are now streaming across our undefended border. Its mayhem out there. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted March 3, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 3, 2017 Glad to see you make out with a nice ride and are slowly healing up. You seem to be managing well, but have you considered reaching out to the FZ community? I can't speak for everyone but I always pitch in a few bucks to an injured rider to help ease the transition. If we don't help each other out, nobody will. Anyway, just a thought. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
