You had a CB160 ? What a great bike. I bought one for my first wife but I rode it most of the time. I just loved that little thing. Almost indestructible, handled well, went good too. Sold it two years later and got more than I paid.

Haven't gone down with the 250, but did touch the rear bumper of a car that ran a stop sign on a cross street a few years back. She stopped, got out just to look at her car, and said to me, "I hope you didn't damage my car. " I lost it. I generally don't use such language, but I was furious when I blurted out "B---h, you had a stop sign!!!" She said no I did not. I asked what, are you blind??? Do you know what that octagonal sign is right there?? as I pointed to it across the street from where she parked... I thought for sure I was going down, but between the downshifting to use the engine to brake and clamping down hard on the front brake and moving toward the middle of the road (couldn't go around - oncoming traffic, and around a curve and at night), I managed to just rub the rear bumper and was surprised when it didn't just grab the tire and put me down. She knew I was furious and got back in her SUV and called someone on her cellphone - probably the cops - and I was not interested in waiting around a half hour and then taking another half hour filling out forms and being late for work because of this prissy skirt who thought she was "all that... " I took her license, make, and color of her SUV, and a description of her on my notepad, and left. There wasn't even black from the bike's tire on her bumper. I shined my light all over it to find out. That experience was a rush, man.

I'm done for a while Sorry to hear about what happened. Glad to hear you walked away with only scrapes. They say there are two type of riders out there, those who have dumped their bikes that those who WILL!!! Now you've done it and it's out of your system so it won't ever happen again.. Hope you get back on and in the wind soon... On Mar 26, 4:31 pm, "Kyle K.K." <not.chr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Bike = dead.
