Well I opted to not get another Tricolore so I got this instead...am I still allowed to post here ?

The old bike that I had an accident on. It's a long story but this MC was cursed.

Um, YEAH!

Good that you recognize that it is no Monster

Your cred is still good though.

Sweet Ride!

Did you buy back the monster?

Nope...a tough sell to the wife. It really was a cursed machine and I feel for anyone that buys the wreck. I had it six months and it was delivered with a badly scratched rim, the tricolore number plate was scratched to hell, I bent the front rim almost immediatley, I stripped the oil drain plug, I stipped the oil feed filter (?) pick up screws, ran over a 4 inch deck screw that exited the sidewall of the rear tire and gouged the swingarm, busted a helmet (it fell out of the seat of the bike) and destroyed my motorcycle boots after stepping on a bee earlier that day after washing the monster. Then I wrecked it and did 10,000 worth of damage. Walked away with minimal injuries though.

Don't get me wrong I loved the bike but it had a black cloud and I said F it. I got the 1098 for less than the price of a new Monster with a full system. The bike was a demo that I helped mile out. It has the custom paint because the first guy to demo it lowsided it and tore it up. In addition to the paint it has the cover/plate/stainless springs, slip on-ecu combo and the first service done.

That must've been one hell of a bee.

That's a sexy 1098. Congrats.

I was barefoot. Later that day when gearing up for a ride my leg was so swollen I could barely zip the boot up my calf. About 5 minutes later the zipper popped breaking several teeth. They were old anyway. About 4 hours later I was in the ER getting shots. My foot wouldn't even fit into a flip flop and my leg was swollen past my knee. I think it was a killer bee.

It sounds like you may be cursed and in need of an exorcism, and nice bike for sure.

Nice! Congrats

Sexy wheels!!!

Have fun. [moto]

Gratz on the new bike. I am envious.

flynbulldog · March 08, 2009, 08:33:05 AM

Hate to say it dude but none of that stuff sounds like the problem was the bike...
Hope you have better luck with the 1098!

DY · March 08, 2009, 09:10:32 AM

it sounds like someone didn't want you on that tri-color... hopefully, the 1098 will bring you blue skies!

I think I remember from last year, you rode over some train tracks and bent the front rim?
