Well. After going to lunch yesterday afternoon. On the way back to the office. A child by himself, decides to sprint across Maple av in zanesville in front of the truck in front of me. I locked both the fronts and backs up trying not to eat the back of the truck and instead ate the pavement. There was enough witnesses that there was no ticket involved. However, my pride is hurt more than anything. Normally I would have been on the dual sport. But, waiting on tires to arrive I was on the Superhawk. My pride is hurt, scrapes and bruises. Bike started right up, straight and ridable. But the cosmetics make me sick to look at! It was perfect when I got it and had all intentions of leaving it just that way... Talked to a painter here in town and we are looking 800 bones to correct all the scrapes and scratches and making it look new again.... Two other guys asked if I was turning it in, because they are going to total it? I was like what? Yeah, you are above 25% of the bikes value. That would be fine I guess if I could buy it back... Sad is I cant even find any plastics for the bike, But that is my fault for wanting a 12 year old bike.
