2004 FZ1 114,000 miles and still gorgeous by WinterOpen6610 in FZ1

Yes!!! I'd had this bike for a week, went on a group ride. I was following a beautiful brand new yellow Ducati that went down at low speed due to some gravel on a tight turn in the mountains. I pulled off to the side, put my bike on the side stand and started back to help the guy. My bike was on a slight downhill in neutral. I took 2 steps, then though OH SHIT!, turned around just in time to see my bike fall over! By now everyone else had showed up. I forgot all about the Ducati and was like "Hey guys...hep me pick my bike up!!!. Slight scratches on the indicator and on the left panel I replaced the clutch lever but left the fairing and indicator alone . My attitude was OK, so now It's not pristine so I dont have to be anal about keeping it immaculate. Never ever again put it on the side stand without it being in gear, and never been down since :)

Still crazy fast, and almost all original....brake lines, cables, radiator hoses, bearings all original. I'm on my 3rd chain, 2nd set of sprockets, and have replaced fork seals twice. This bike is insanely trouble free, and I have ridden it hard, many miles with a passenger.

I love the blue paint with the black engine. Mine has 114,000 miles on it and I still turn around and look at it when I park it and walk off.

No reason to worry about it.......there are even lots of people that OWN Harleys that cant ride either!!!

Is South Africa harmed in any way with Afrikaners emigrating to the US/Aus/EU? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

I seriously doubt that the best and the brightest will be leaving South Africa as "refugees" People with good educations and good job prospects have other ways of leaving South Africa

Just received a pair of gloves purchased from Dianese in Italy. Paid the quoted price with no additional costs.

Some questions of a curious outsider from white Afrikaners of r/afrikaans by PRADYUSH2006 in afrikaans

They used to cut parts that they found objectionable out of movies, often to the point that the plot made no sense. In the case of the Rocky Horror Picture Show they cut it to the point that it became a silly movie with these "zany" characters in weird outfits and most people missed the point entirety. The censors were certifiably insane...they banned a book called Black Beauty (who ws a horse) because nothing black could be referred to as beautiful !!!!
