Down Goes the Motorcycle

J has a 90 Twin Turbo. We had a 95 convertable back in 99. Bought it then 30 min later found out we were pregnant. Sold it about 3 months later. About 2 years ago he bought a 90 2+2. Spent a $1800 to pass DEQ, was completely redoing the interior, yadda yadda yadda then he was hit by a semi and they totalled it (had it a little over a month). So he replaced it with a 90 TT. It has been sitting for 6mo or so as it needs 2 new tires, new AC (last time he drove it, it was 120 in the car), something with the wheel bearings, new breaks and rotors, and a piston is going out. I tried to get him to buy a new 350, as I thought it would cost less than what we put into these old ones... but it is his baby and he loves it.

I bought a new 350z in 2004 and absolutely love it. However, I actually prefer the looks of the '90-'96 Z's more. Those were such beautiful rides. If I wasn't such a new car junkie, I would have bought a later year of that model. It's kinda strange that the old TT's are actually slower than the new Z's w/ no turbos. I was looking into the Greddy TT for my car but quickly realized that at $8000 + installation, it's just not worth it and hardly neccessary. Plus, I'd have to get a new set or tires every year. :D

Arm and Annie, I know I wasn't right to tell her to say he was having chest pains, but try sitting in triage for hours with someone with Alzheimers and congestive heart failure waiting for ANYONE to pay attention...I have really developed a major attitude about ERs...Sorry,but I just have an attitude..after the experiences that I have had with hospitals, I hope I can just die at home :o

Bonibelle,
I know it can be very difficult to wait in the ER for hours. The problem is with the poeple with no insurance going to the ER for basic care that could and should be done at the local DR. office. Most if not all ER'S are under staffed and overworked. As the population ages it is only going to get worse before it gets better IMHO. Brooke I hope J feels better. Last time I totaled a m/c and ended up with most of my body with road rash.. I did a lot of time in water and it seemed to speed my recovery. Also having someone to wait on me hand and foot always helped to!! ;) hint hint ;D
Chas:
WAY long time ago, before Mrs. Chas, I laid my Harley down in an intersection on a small patch of gravel. Slid a ways, took a bunch of skin off my palms, knees and runined the clothes I was wearing completely. Helmet was ok, come to think of it. Very little blood. Bike was a mess but I rode it home. Expensive.
Very minor compared to what has been discussed here -
But I haven't owned a bike since. The reason I gave up riding was exactly what you folks have mentioned: not a soul stopped to help me right the bike, and several came far too close to running me over as I was scrambling around.

Brewman:
You rode a Harley WITH a helmet? Not sure I've ever seen that. Not unless you count those german style WWI helmets with the metal spike thing a helmet.
You living in CA at the time, home of Hells Angles?
