yep, gonna be a cold one though. :) Be sure to double check your tire pressure if you haven't recently. Amazing how much you loose with the cold air.

I won't be able to make this one. My bike wouldn't turn off with the killswitch and key removed when I stopped for fuel. Have fun guys.

You know, there are other ways to go about getting a new bike.

I am glad you are ok...other than being beat with some doorknobs.

Man, I'm going to have to start making some of these. Every time I'm gone a Stardog goes down. I'll start making these rides again so I can be the foundation to a solid ride. ;)
I pray you feel better, bro.

Probably. Lets just lump it in with "riding beyond my ability".

Last time I stayed down for an assessment. This time I knew that I was fine. Despite the big impact spot on the helmet it was not an abusive/painful tumble though my right shoulder and left love handle area are both pretty sore.

That is what typically happens but you don't figure that out until it is too late. Unfortunately, that is part of the "learning" process. It sucks that it happened but can you walk away from it knowing what you did wrong and learn from it? I hope this doesn't discourage you from riding. I have wrecked bad on the road and I am still riding. My daughter has wrecked twice on the road and once at the track and she is still riding. My husband managed to have a minor wreck on my 250 and walk away and he is still riding. Heck, that is part of the risk we take when we put our leg over the bike whether it is on the track or on the street. I have target fixated on the track and ran off before so what happened on the street can also happen on the track. SOOOO, I hope you don't hang it up.

Well, that does seem to be a problem. BUT there is a 500 around somewhere and that yellow banana runs too (that is in my garage). On the other hand, I heard you were wanting a "crotch-rocket" instead a cruiser. Is that true? Riding season will be done as soon as it gets too cold so you have some time to either fix up the white beauty or get a different one. Ask Santa for one for Christmas. :D

Why would I sell your bike? I don't even know what type of Kawasaki it is (Fixxer has to keep telling me). I was just letting him know of 2 bikes that run.
