<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TDRismyname, post: 1002401, member: 26939&quot;]Also, what is a out of package 2.5g Pamp Suisse bar worth, with the assay card but not sealed inside? Is it worth melt? Same question with a 1/4th oz gold Scotia Moccotia Round, which i can seal back in its package but it was removed and has some scratches, a ding. I know I know I shouldn&#039;t have removed them but I like having a gold coin in my pocket and an 1885 Morgan in my left, I have to ride my bike 20-40 miles a day and I have no helmet, just motorcycle gloves from my crash (2009 YZF-R6 5400mi RIP).... the engine, frame, exhaust, and whole right side of the bike was perfect but the gearbox was shot and the oilpan was grinded down.... the shop quoted me 9500... which is what I PAYED with warranty! NEW! I told them to suck a body part and fix it for 6k like a real shop would and they said they were &quot;doing me a favor&quot; by quoting it so high because my insurance gave me 8500.... - a frickin 2k deductible. So I lost my bike and got 6500&nbsp; from State Farm THE WORST MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE EVER. At least I got $200 for my helmet and $450 for my ruined leather jacket. My boots are still in perfect condition, after sliding 600ft down the century blvd offramp in the breakdown lane off the 405N... the bike slid 750ft. That&#039;s what you get for jumping off your bike at 95.... Speed wobble from the 405&#039;s carpool lane gap moved from back of the bike to the front and by the time I had balanced the handlebars were swinging back and forth @ 6hz.... went to 12hz and almost broke my wrists while I was trying to grab the clutch, every time the thing jerked left (at 6hz to start) my right glove stuck to the throttle and the bike went up 1/2 a mph.... 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 878889909192939495 and I gave up. If I had NOT taken the advice given in the DMV handbook &quot;ride it out, don&#039;t accelerate or brake&quot; and slammed the rear brake I&#039;d still have an R6 today. Shows what the DMV knows about Vs.</p><p><br /></p><p>That bike was a monster named SAAS. 131hp 18500rpm hard redline 4 cylinder 370lb wet MONSTER. Hell my corolla had 121hp NEW, and I went from that, 8 years old, to the monster. I remember this guy in a Ferrari California, brand new, looks at me and revs up his amazing 4.8 liter V8 510hp engine and I laughed.... held it at 5k and he was gone... left him like he was standing still and he was a quarter mile behind and prob gave up as I hit 150 right before the tunnel under LAX (PCH). He rolled up, put the top up, rolled up his windows and didn&#039;t rev his pathetic engine again. His 250k Ferrari ate my exhaust... my 9500 bike took down goliath. Did the same thing with an XFR, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and Some jerk with an 8.4L V10 Viper (hahahaha)..... but my fav was the Carrera GT I womped, stoplight to stoplight, 4x because he kept saying &quot;oh my ACR was on&quot; &quot;oh my ASC messed me up&quot; &quot;oh I didn&#039;t get the right RPM&quot; &quot;Oh I missed 3rd&quot;..... supercars are a joke to superbikes, unless your on a 3000m runway or the autobahn. I miss that bike so... 10.48 @ 144.38 was my best time at the track. But really the bike was best to 80, I hit 80 in 3.2 seconds... 60 in 2.5. Unbeatable anywhere but the highway.</p><p><br /></p><p>OFF TOPIC but a good memory and story. BTW if you see anyone riding ANY motorcycle without a full face DOT-5 helmet and armored gloves, Leather jacket, and boots (I rarely wore chaps, denim worked ok and the jacket and boots protected me fine in my 95mph crash, along with my full face helmet) they are an idot. Those skull caps will leave you with no lower face... your jaw will be all over the road. AND T-SHIRTS.... I saw a fat guy riding a Busa (GSXR-1300, 200mph bike) with only a T shirt and all I could imagine is how maybe his fat would slowely grind down and protect his ribcage and entrails from total destruction. People who don&#039;t wear leathers and crash, alone even, end up either dead or missing large portions of skin and bone. I don&#039;t care if your harley is a &quot;cruiser&quot; all it takes is some dickhead sideswiping you @ 80 and your gone. I used to knock off peoples mirrors when they acted sufficiently stupid. You just put out your shoulder, get behind, downshift, floor it (if your @ high speed... low speed just blip throttle) and BAM no more mirror and see if your F250 or Excursion can catch me, especially in traffic! I lost several cops in rush hour after knocking off they&#039;re mirrors and it wasn&#039;t a race it was a smackdown. I was through half a mile of cars before they&#039;re sirens could pull 2 people out of the way. No need for tickets if you have traffic, cops won&#039;t even try if they see you have a new 750 or R6/R1. Sorry CHP, I have better things to do than sit in traffic w/ you. One guy went on the should till he hit a &quot;you are travelling this fast&quot; sighn.... I guess it&#039;s good i don&#039;t have that bike SAAS made me a terror on wheels, and she bit back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
