poor bloke

I went for a ride to my Dad's and on the way I saw a guy on a new VFR750 sitting by the road side next to his bike (on a dual carriageway). Unfortunately I was in the wrong lane and couldn't stop for him in time.

On my way home I saw him broken down on the other side of the same dual carriageway; I pulled over to see if I could help.
He told me that earlier he had a puncture and now his electrics keeps blowing fuses. He already had the AA on the way though.

How unlucky is that? Laughing

I would have, but the lights changed before I had a chance.

You should have took his details to see if you could have got him a better insurance deal Very Happy

No really though that is bad luck.

There are still brand new vfr 750's about, DK had one in a couple of weeks ago, expensive though.!

Do you mean the RC45 or the tourer VFR750 (the one that turned into the 800cc version in 1998?)

I mean the RC45, it was brand new and I did read in a magazine that there are quite a few brand new ones around but are very costly. They be classics.

Yea I meant the VFR800, not that it matters much really.
