Gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure. (zbillster's farewell post)

And the most distressing part is ... after all that pain, effort and slow-healing blisters ... he dared damage the RLETs!

Clearly the problem was the blue glove.

Fun flick Bill.

I needed something! In the prequel, my thumbnail started bleeding around the 8:00 mark and at the very end you can see the huge skin peel from my thumb and forefinger!

However, the latter may be from all the sweat buildup under the glove which softened the skin.

Man, those blisters took a couple of weeks to heal! And raw, throbbing skin in the two places you need it the most!

The moral ... don't bother with RLETs unless you're keeping the bike.

Aw man - that means some soul went with the RLETs. I would have taken the RLETs off and sold to the highest Forum [blind auction] bidder ... like PB.

Bad news... bank decline RLETs loan application

A happy smiley following tragic news? Mmmm.

Dude, get another bank.

Oh, I know, GoldOxide. Peter, learned in fuses, wires and the movement of electrons, is barren of understanding and one of the great unbelievers. Lieutenant to Sith Lord redbirds, he is in the vanguard of resistance to the RLET. At first I could not understand why Lord Popgun had anointed him Brand Chancellor. But now ....

Bad news... bank decline RLETs loan application

The funny/sad part is ... the new owner will probably NEED a loan to replace the now-damaged RLET ... he was digging through his sofa for spare change to come up with the money to buy, ship and register this thing. :rofl:

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Seems a rift has formed in the RLET domain time continuum. So much change in such a short time, yet all is still the same.

One RLET could create such a chain reaction of events.

Ditto on the excellent front brakes. After riding my Road King for a few rides,took the cb out grabbed to much lever on a slow stop over she went. New clutch lever and new rear turn signal. Thankfully had engine guards or could have been worse.

I was kinda warned by this guy's review about the front brakes before I bought it ... but while I was anticipating the issue I didn't experience anything that extreme in my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Actually I put them on to dress it up for sale ... and (cough) cover up some scratches.

The new owner was kinda making noises how "the detailing was not up to his standards" when he received it ... :dodgy: ... yeah, how's that brake grab detail looking?

It's almost as if the bike took notice of his comment and chucked him off deciding "show some respect buddy" Like a horse that has not been "broken in" and has a mind of his own.:-/

If anything i think your sense of humor has improved markedly Zbillster

Well, I'm feeling more "normal" ... left hand is still sprained but much better than before ... right collarbone is quite usable now but bones are still knitting and that will take some months to complete. I'm looking forward to that day in 2020 when I will wake up and go through a whole day without once noticing a pain in my shoulder or hand.

I've gotten some tasks out of the way ... motorcycle repaired and sold, accessories are selling ... but still struggling with others ... Progressive is playing the "kickback his medical bills for random red tape reasons till he gives up" (yeah, I'm not), my medical bill negotiator is still battling with a couple of shady operators and winning ($285 hospital sling reduced to $50 ... MSRP is $25 for the record) ... and I'll just be glad when all THAT dust is settled and I can REALLY get past this accident and back to whatever adventures await me ... :banana:

Nope! Carbon fiber, baby! It's BYOE (bring your own engine) ... though, like most CBs owned on this forum, I'm probably overdue for a value adjustment.
