Default Reunited with my lost love

Well I am sure everyone is both relieved and glad that I got my bike back, I know I am! Well as it turns out she was fairly unmolested(just the ignition was ripped apart). I will dig in further once I get a new ignition for her, but for now I am happy she is home, and get this she was found on her kick stand parked in a fire lane and had been there for 5 days. And she was only 3 miles from the house! I am soooooo dang happy right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear. If it's just the switch it's not that big of a deal to fix.

I got 2 bikes for now, I am gonna sell the RF900 though. I liked the idea of two, but neh if I have 2 ones gonna be for the wife. Gonna start my search for a new ignition.

Edit: well I got her up n running with a temp ignition till I order one. Everything is fine, she is home and I cant be happier

Good news, they must have got sick of pushing it, heck 3 miles would be good punishment to start with!

No leads on it, and honestly coulndt care right now since they had no idea on how to hot wire the bike. Also since they blew the starter fuse, I think it was never started. And unless you know these bikes you would never find the fuse. For pushing it for 3 miles, I know that pain(I had to do that once). I dont think it was pushed very far, cause the cargo tie downs were open, plus the rear tire looked a lil scuffed as if it was pulled off a truck with two people. Maybe they got tired of trying to start it LOL.

Great news Foxster!!

Now you can do a back to back road test of the CBR and the RF900

Lucky the damage was so minimal, could have been far far worse!!
