Oh yea? Well let me introduce you to TARGA early 90s... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I've heard bad things about HB as well. I think he was offering his shit cheap to clean up their reputation. Apparently,it was some new better made stuff,or so he claimed anyway.

First of all... I can't believe I went through this entire thread and NOT ONE PICTURE?? *(^Q@#(^%)#

Glad you're relatively alright. But, if the ankle is still bothering you best have it checked out. Ankle injuries are the worst if they don't heal right

$6800??? I know you could buy an entire new ZZR for that. Don't sweat it, just go to the next bike and don't look back...My first bike went like that, $6400 out the door and 1000 miles later $3800 worth of damage. I had it repaired but there was always a ghost voice telling me it just wasn't right. I traded it off and never looked back!

I'm not reading all this shit... what is the deal with your bike Ebbs?

Very high damage estimate... only buy it back and track it if you don't plan to race. That bike would never be competitive in it's displacement class.

Otherwise you've got a track day machine for CHEAP and money in your pocket.

Probably want to get it measured up by a GMD computrack to check the frame/forks.

Evidently it's all about getting around the track as slowly as possible.

You should have whipped out your dick and started peeing on him.

But trying to wheelie. That's like writing a ticket for drifting when a car hydroplanes.
