but then a few weeks later a dopy lady coming out of krispe kremes rear ended me on a round about and it got written off due to a hairline crack in the frame

so then i purchased a cheap aprilia sr125 that needed some TLc, but i did a few bits to it and sold it without evan using it...

surprised no-ones commented, some bad luck in that story but a very good write up!

How did you fair out of the Hornet crash? did the car pull out or was someone distracted by some eye candy?

Isn't it funny how everyone either buys or thinks about a Yamaha 125 ?
I think in subconstient,they've chose the scooter with knobiest tires for a reason
I didn't chose it for that,but for leg room,as it was my first scooter and was COMPLETELY CLUELESS.

Did you went to an (orthodox,the true Christian Religion) church to get a blessing ? You're followed by bad luck.
Stolen,accident and accident.
What happened to second Yamaha ?

So what you ride today ?
