The story:
This is my dream bike! I bought her 5 years ago, and put on 14k the first season (live in MA, so seasons are 6 months tops...). One unseasonably warm day in the beginning of March, I took her out for my usual tri-state run thru MA, RI, CT and back to MA. Just after crossing back into MA, and puttin the ol helmet back on, I was hit by a car, nearly head-on. Flew 40+ feet before landing on the guard rail - broke lots of bones! Hip replacement, rod in the femur all on the left leg, and fractured my right ankle too! Needless to say walking was difficult for a while...
So in order to help pull me through, I immediately began rebuilding the bike, and making lots of improvements, like the 6sp tranny and the air-ride suspension...and I finally topped it off this year with MY OWN custom paint job, so it has been a few years in the making getting her where she is today! I like the way she looks so much, that is was almost worth the accident...
