Why do I love this piece of steel? 700 1991

Underpowered, Candles for headlights, overpriced repair parts, confused at best dealer mechanics,...........and the safest damn thing I have ever been in.

Got rear-ended yesterday by a minivan. This was no little tap. I was at a red light...doing of all things, not moving. The light turned green, and the driver of the minivan decided to challenge the laws of physics by trying to place two pieces of matter in the same place simultaneously. Her excuse...I thought you were going to start moving!!!!! My cell phone ended up on the rear seat. Thought it was going through the window. My neck snapped back right into those huge headrests. The seat back absorbed the shock of my 200+ pound frame.

No damage to me or the brick. Her minivan had a torn bumper, but that's her problem.

Guess I'll be keeping this one a while!


Regards,



David
