LMAO! My bike looks almost exactly the same (but not as bad); perfect right side, bashed up left. But, I was the one that got it that way.

Is this your first bike? Have you ever ridden in traffic before?

Here's the actual story behind it.

Roughly two years ago, a friend of mine lowsided his bike (the one in the picture), broke both of his legs in the crash, and parked the bike. He's still having a bit of trouble with his legs. He can walk, but his legs start to hurt after a while and he can't really run at all. This kept him from ever really wanting to get back on the bike.

However, the biek wasn't really in that bad of shape. It's been sitting out in front of his old apartment for the last two years. For the last 6 mnoths or so, he hasn't even lived there. He actuallly moved in with me as my roommate. Anyway, I told him that if he wasn't going to do anything with the bike, I'd buy it from him and fix it up.

So, a few days ago we went to look at the bike, and found that he'd lost the key for the disc lock that he had on the front brake. So, we went back over there last night with a hack saw and cut it off. Neither of us has a truck, and it was less than two miles over flat ground from our current place to his old place, so we figured "what the hell" and pushed it down the street (no traffic) to our place. It ended up taking about hours to go two miles, but whatever, we got it here.

So, now I need to fix it up a bit.

And I have very little motorcycle riding experience. About 10 minutes on one riding around a parking lot. I have plenty of experience riding a small, two-wheeled vehicle in traffic, but that's a bicycle and I don't know how much of that knowledge will be helpful on a motorcycle at all. Probably not very much.

Oh, and it's a '95 Yamaha FZR600, btw.
