Re: Damage estimate



Don't forget about the coating on the new tires that is slick as snot.  I
had my 2000 ST fishtail coming out of the dealer's lot, and I didn't even
goose the throttle.  The saleman, who was driving my car home for me (a
friend), thought it was all over for me.  He had just finished warning me
about the slick tires.  Only my dirt bike experience kept me from hitting
the pavement.

PS  Have you seen the stunt riders on the Triumphs in the ads for Mission
Impossible 2??  Cool!
