Daytona 600 for sale

I took the tankslap stickers off because I didn't want anyone to find me. Lets hope the bike shop found all the gremlins. I was very honest and told them everything I could think of.

They washed it and added $2000 to the trade in price (shocked) they haven't even changed the tyres. They were blue at the end of the track day I crashed and are a good 5 yrs old now.

Oh well, any come back will be on them not me!

Well, to me anyway, it looks very tidy indeed for 49k km.

Fwiw I never liked the D600 though, all too much of a big, angular, chunky & "Transformer-ish" look to them.

It looks tidy because it only did 100 odd km after the paint job before I traded it!!

It looked like this immediately prior to the paint job

I don't think you were around on TS when I binned it St Marks, but it went end over end at the track, collapsed a front wheel bearing as I was braking heavily and locked up the front wheel at about 120 km and spat me off the front.

Ouch.!
You're correct, it must have been before I came on here to annoy you guys. However you have made reference to it previously so I was aware that there had been some sort of incident.
Wasn't aware it was quite so dramatic as that. Sounds like a proper confidence underminer IMHO, you've done well to still be enjoying two wheeled transport after that one.
