I think they're screwed on getting their money, but obviously they just weren't meant for the sport. I don't know if I could ever give up so easily, though.

Think of it this way,
if you dont know how to ride,
why would you spend 5G on a sportbike?
its liek people think that by sitting on it and "going slow" theyll miraculously have all the techniques down.

i feel worse for the bike then the "rider"

Judging by their last comment about new fairing price, I doubt they did any research on the bike (Upper fairing hasn't changed in a long time).

I don't know if it's stolen, but if they get $4000 for it, wrecked, I'd have to think that they're robbing someone during the sale.

I thought the same thing about the fairing. With the same chunk of plastic on everything from '94 to '07 (and probably 2027) that fairing is going to cost "about $500" until my bike is nothing but dust, plus inflation of course .

They were probably shopping for a brand new 250 when some "buddy" told them that they'd never be happy with a 250. Now they're out an extra $2000+. Some people are just excessively loose with their money, I suppose. Dave Ramsey calls it "Stupid Tax." ;D

I figure they're at the point now they'd just as well go on with learning to ride. The bike is just now getting broken in .

I don't think there are too many people who did NOT fall or crash their bike when they first started.

when you first start you're paranoid... which tends to keep the bike upright asside for the 0mph tip-over... most crashes are between 2 & 5k miles when you start getting complacent.

Motorcycle accidents sound similar to flying accidents, most of them (flying) happen with pilots who have between 500-800 hours. This is due to the fact that people are feeling pretty good about their abilities yet still don't have the wisdom of high experience. My bike has been dropped plenty at 0mph!

Sounds about right.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation says that the first 500 miles are the most deadly.
So after that if you bust your a$$ , statistically you should live to tell about it .

Baahahahaha! That is profound and hilarious all at the same time . I like it!
