Officially disgusted...
So I buy this 1125R last July and overjoyed put a thousand miles on it before I crash, causing me 2 surgeries and forcing me to miss 7 months of riding. I have to sell my ZX6R to help pay for my medical bills and repairs. But it is all OK cause the bikes fixed and I am better.
I hit a great track day and get ready for the fall riding season, only to have my charging system fail. I missed my Arkriders Forum ride, will miss next weeks Bikes Blue and BBQ Festival and who knows? when I think of all the time and money I really question my biking hobby. After 15 years I am almost ready to give it all away...My you-know-what is hurting!

Sucks to hear, hopefully yours gets fixed faster than mine did.

Damn, that is a bad run. Get the bike fixed and go for a ride. That should make you forget about all the other stuff, at least for a little bit. |

Seems like it might be time to try another style of riding. Like dual sport or touring.

I looked at a DRZ and a KLR yesterday. I dunno.
I did buy a 12 pack, so that will be my therapy for this weekend.

 ). You drop some coin on gear and such but if you do it right you keep that stuff for a while.

Buy a Japanese bike and it won't shit out.
Also did you crash from squid riding or was it on a track?
