I don't think I really want any part of this bike. It could be some kind of pet cemetery thing. It'll just come back to life more evil.
Very entertaining! I've never seen anything like it. That flood sure beat the bajabbers out of that thing! But alas, I'm not supersticious and can't blame the bike for it's owners running out of talent, and abusively letting it get swamped by a flashflood! Poor 'lil bike.....
You guys should have poured a little Portland cement mixed with some water on the loose dirt in that second picture where it's half buried and let it dry. Then lift the bike as is and put it on display just like that. What a trophy. We get some pretty hairy flash floods here where I ride and live. Never seen anything like this happen though. Definately a cursed bike after all that. What a great story, got to love them camera phones. Just think if you didn't take any pictures at all. No one would have believed this without the pictures. Please keep us posted as to its planned resurection progress or demise, either one.
Ever see the movie Christine? Our group has a KTM 520 that has made the rounds and injured several of us. It has been named Christine for years. One of our group still has her and I think has finally exorcised the demon out. No issues the last 3 years.
I think at the moment he is leaning towards parting it out. Not sure though, I'll post up when I know what he plans to do.
The original owner is the one in jail. The current owner is a cousin of the original owner. Try and keep up with the plot twists.... sheesh.
There has been this much carnage around a bike that still has less than 1500 miles. The trip from Colorado to cali is likely to kill someone, or multiple someone's.
Makes me glad that my bike is more than tolerant of me! Keep that thing clear of Michigan and he will need a disclaimer with the sale of any of the parts! That would be like getting a heart transplant and being consumed by the evil that was in the heart before it was yours...
That monument is is for good Huskys not evil ones. That bike might just have to be exorcised to help remove some of the curse before it can be entombed.
im sure there are more than a few big bore 2 strokes that have a good story of injuring every rider to throw a leg over it
Any one who ever owned a Suzuki TM 400 from around 1974 and can still walk today does so with a limp that bike hurt more people then I can count just way to fast
Me and my son started riding with two 1972 Suzuki TS-185's to get experienced before we get into the better, faster bikes. Having logged many hours of off road riding we also became street bike riders too. Then my son tee boned a doe in the road around a blind turn. She was up on the handle bars till he stopped. The off road experience paid off he never dumped the Suzuki 400 bandit. The bike was totalled. He was ok and the deer fell off and ran. Now he buys a Suzuki GSXR 750. He rides out to meet me the first night he has it and almost hits another deer. My son on a motorcycle is a deer magnet. I want him to come deer hunting with me as bait?
Thanks for sharing. I'll never loan my bike ever again..! Us humans are funny sometimes....enduring resiliance, yet challenged by the mystery every time.
Holy smokes, reading the description and then seeing the pictures was insane. Imagine calling your insurance company claiming water damage lol.
