No need to pass judgement... we all have done things we regret...

I think that's a wise choice. If you would like to consider this, i have a very nice RC-51 that would make a great track bike and provide hours of ear to ear smiles.

Looped a RM125 while trying to show off in front off some girls... on the street... trashed the bike (and it wasn't mine)... earned a fair amount of rash.... and got a ticket from a police officer that lived near by and was watching from his home...

Stupid proved to be both painful and expensive that day
