luckily it was insured...

Classic case of too much power and not near enough common sense..

Sorta like a bunch of people in 1969 that rushed out to buy Kawasaki 500s...
..the fastest bike on the planet back then.

Bike only had 60 hp for 380 lbs but the power band was like a light switch.

30hp@ 5700 60hp@6500. They became know as Widowmakers because one second you were riding it and the next second the front end was going over your head.
