KMs driven: +/- 28.000 km in 3 years

Remarks: my all-time favorite bike at this time. The sound coming from the pipes was so loud, people could hear me coming from miles away :D
Accidents: two weeks after I had bought it, I crashed it on a dirty roundabout at 30 km/h: there was so much sand on it you couldn't even see the asphalt anymore. Result: 1500 euro's of damage. Tried to sue the contractor who had obviously spilled the sand on-route to a near construction site and failed: I couldn't prove it was his sand...
