In a tragic mishap a month ago, my big girl was wrecked.  A broken frame forced me to decommision her.

But hope is not lost.   She will be providing parts and farkles to get her twin up and running.
The twin is just that; another 2003 FJR1300.   The only difference is the VIN#.

I'm moving on to the next chapter.   I've turned the page.

Here is the twin on her way home.   Benhameen (FJROWNERS.COM) and I worked out a deal that made us both happy. 
It doesn't run, but the important thing is that it is not smashed.

Update: She runs!!

I'm going to get my tag this afternoon.  Maybe I can go for a ride tonight or tomorrow night. 
I don't need to go far or fast.  I just need to get back out there.  Too many negative thoughts since the crash that only the wind on my neck can clear out.
