It's time for me to hit the reset button it seems, the patterns are showing that I have been going about things the wrong way. I'm getting rid of everything motorcycle related I have for sale. That being said, here's a wrecked 1125R available for parts and a previously abandoned 2005 R6 in need of a new battery and fluid change that was shipped to me from Pearl Harbor, HI to my current location near Nashville, TN. Feel free to contact me Eight0eight 348 four9six9 - Charlie
Link to gallery with many more pictures of both
I need both of them out of my garage, Accepting all reasonable offers on one or both. No title on R6, have all other paperwork, Previous Registration (last registered when bought new in 2005), Bill of Lading from shipment, etc. New ignition with keys on R6, needs a new battery and fluid change. Had plans to put it on the track, but am now over that whole idea. Someday in the future I'll probably get a 250 or something and start over where I should have began.
Here's the story ya'll want:
I wrecked the Buell while I was wearing in the new tires on highway 56 S near Center Hill Lake, TN. I was honestly just going way too fast for a public road and as I was rounding a blind right hand turn I found an SUV that had just pulled out traveling my direction from a side street that intersected at the middle of the corner. I quick straightened out and applied full brakes while aiming for a narrow runway of grass between a cow fence and a stand of cedar trees, only catch was the 4' drop off the edge of the road.
I decided this was my best option over trying to go around the near stationary 6' wide Yukon because I still could not see the exit of the corner and didn't know if there was any traffic coming from the opposite direction of not. Let's face it pretty much anything is better than a head on collision with a car.
So I went off the cliff and immediately nosed over at about ooooooooohhhh...... 50 or 60 mph. Luckily I was dressed appropriately for this crash. My helmet left a bigger dent in the dirt than the bike did, and after about 60' tumble where I watched the bike miss me twice I came to a stop, sat up, and smoked a freakin cigarette.
I had a few scuffs in the leather, my helmet was pretty trashed, and I was absolutely unharmed. I can't stress enough how important it is to wear your gear, unless you actually want to lose your skin, break your bones, not be able to move for months at a time, or be dead. By all means, go right ahead if that is why you ride a motorcycle.
