Well, long story short here, my dad and I were looking through pics of his old bikes and we came across these shots of his crashed Katana. He bought it brand new in 1989 and crashed it a month after he bought it. Hospital time and a cracked skull for him, but he lived. Bike was totaled out and was sent to a junk yard. The pics don't even do it justice according to him. The springs were sticking out of the forks and the bike had flipped multiple times. He found out later that the motor was in good shape and ended up going into someones drag bike. It was weird to find this out because I never even knew about this bike before I bought my kat. He says it didn't bother him much because he never really got a lot of seat time with her, but says she did 155 no prob and power wheelies where an accident a lot of the time. I guess the best lesson to be learned from this is don't ever drink and ride your bike, because this could very well be the outcome. In case your wondering, he hit the back of a car doing approx. 80-90 mph, with a girl on the back. Both lived to tell the story, but it was all luck.
