Last rides scare me. Glad yours went okay. I did a "last ride" on my CBR600rr and it did not go well. It was raining, I was in the gravel with a sport bike, no gloves, clutch slipped my fingers in first gear and slid out in the gravel. I was fine and was standing somehow, bike not so much. Only the plastics and a mirror were hurt, but I lost the buyer and ended up selling it for 2/3rd my original price. Should've just kept it, but how many times have you heard that?
for sure no doubt.. i was worried the whole time and even contemplated not doing it. but i already had the buyer not come the day before because i smacked a pothole on interstate twisting the forks.. i mainly did it because i wanted to be sure it was all straightened out and with no issues for him.. i always wish i would have kept what i get rid of but hey its part of it.. lol.. i got nowhere what i wanted but the best i could get in the area i live so i took it.. already wanting another lol
