The GS crashes amazingly well...

Srinath...Next time you sell a bike, take a video camera.

That just about was reading my mind... Would have made america's funniest or that max X thing on UPN... It was a white newish (1-2 year old) chevy pickup truck ... not a big rig. Anyway, case covers, and lever replaced, the bike made it home. The scratches and stuff are not hurting the looks any... cos it had plenty of paint related blemishes. The guy was fairly level headed... I mean he wanted to "re-learn" on it then paint it, didn't want to slap every cool and brightly colored, accesory on it, was buying a helmet mail order after fitting them on at stores... had gloves too he was telling me about ... asked me about jackets... etc ... Not someone who is going for the coolness at all... BTW he also weighed a good 40-50lbs more than me... which makes him close to a 275... and the bike I thought wasn't going to move him fast and well enough... I guess so much for that. And he was at work yesterday... so he's not badly hurt ... some sore spots and probably on some decent pain medication possibly, but the day after the crash is usually the most painful... and he didn't stay home... so I guess he wasn't too messed up.
BTW another dude came by over the weekend and bought my friends bike... went very un eventfully. He rode this one, my 89 and my friends vulcan and bought it... and he seemed more newbie than this guy... young, and just got a license and didn't have a car... and wanted a sporty bike... but finally decided based on the fact his girl friend might want to ride on the back, and very reluctantly opted for a cruiser... but he rode the bikes just fine. So I guess you cant judge a squid by his looks...  :lol:
The dude isn't screwed up too much... so feel free to laugh away... cos pretty soon he will be as well...
Cool.
Srinath.
