Bicycle
Took my bike in for sevice today. When I walked past the roll up doors I saw a Concours on the lift. After talking with the guy at the counter he said "you wanna see a Concours with trouble". We went to the bike I seen on the lift and they were doing an insurance evaluation on it. A 2011 with about 200 miles on it. The guy was at fireworks last week and while trying to get out of town a young gal rear ended him. Rider was OK and never left the bike. The guy said it is a "total" even though it was a slow speed hit. The frame was crinkled and I could not believe the way the gas tank was collapsed. I personally have been wearing a safety vest with reflective stripes on it for a few years now after I realized I'm not going to a fashion show. I also bought a reflector set for the rear of the saddle bags. The bike was going to a crusher to be disposed of. Be safe and be seen, my vest was $20.00 at Tractor supply. Just food for thought.
