Ok, so I'm at the local stealership looking for a Kawasaki logo keychain, and maybe some stickers, when in walks a guy with a broken rear set. I am standing to the counter looking at stickers, and the guy puts the pieces of rear set on the counter. He asks " do you have one of these, a right side rear set for a '99 zx7r (?) ". Curious I ask, " wow, how did that happen(?)". He replies, " well I live in an apartment, and I chain my motorcycle to the brush guard when my girl friend is over on the weekends, she is four months pregnant. Well she wanted gravy fries from the the place down the street, and didn't want to wake me up, so she got in my truck, and went to back out, and..."(, he held up the pieces of rear set) snatched my bike. It snapped the rear set, and pulled my bike down hard. Could get me a quote for right upper fairing also ,"he asks the counter jockey", so she comes inside, and wakes me up, and says (in his best girl voice) baby, I knocked your bike over. I started to go outside, and my truck running, and got scared. Then I went through the door, and saw the bike tipped over, and the chain still on the truck..." He put his head on the counter. "Man she stars crying, and I don't want her to cry, so I'm all baby it's ok, it can be fixed, it just a thing, are you ok (?)". The clerk jerk quoted him some some some crazy price, I can't remember for a used one they had. I felt so bad I called my friend who has a welding shop, relayed the story, and he said he would fix it for free. Then the stealer quotes him the price for the fairing, and he says, " I think I'm gonna cover it in faux fur". Then he thanked me, and left for my friends shop. I could only go home, and tell this story to all of creation.

Sorry for the length, but I had to tell it right.

 

WOW i almost started crying. That would suck. Great save by you.

 

Awe man, I would have been in jail for double homicide. One for killing the woman and the 2nd one is accidntal cuz of the fact taht she was carrying

 

I agree, nice save.

 

And then about 3 more for people who just happen to be walking down the street. The worst thing is they only cry cause they know your mad at them and realize how lucky they are that you havent snapped their neck yet, they dont really care that they broke your stuff. Its just a defensive shield. You should give him a whip.

 

That is one painful story about the truck dragging the bike![]

 

good looking out shin. world needs more people like you.

 

Thanks all, I really just wanted to help the poor guy. He was getting crap out of the clerk, and he was just getting more unnerved every second. My friend Danny is the one who really saved the day. I just called him, He said it was an easy job, took him twenty minutes to get it welded, and cleaned up.

 

thats awesome. Have your friend set up shop here in florida.

 

He has a shop in Pinellas County called Went's Welding. He dose a lot of work for custom car builders, small fabrication, and welding jobs, TIG work. He has two Ducati, and all kinds of badass cars.
