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.

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.

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