Just curious how the general feeling was about riding or buying a bike from some one who passed? ( Especially if they died from a crash on that bike? )
A few years back I tried to win a bid at a local auction on a GSXR1000 engine from a bike involved in a fatal crash. I ultimately lost the bid, but had no problems with it at all. The bike didn't cause the death.
could be bad mojo or there is now a guardian angel watching over anyone who rides it now. He may have passed but maybe he still likes bikes. I would ride but would not buy a wrecked bike.
I recall a case a few years ago that the rider was said to have been decapitated by a barbed wire fence, the bike was virtually undamaged other than minimal cosmetic ... I just think it would make me feel a bit wierd I guess... ???
again ... matters if there was anything left of the bike ,assuming .. ??? the person died on it .. if the person didn't die on .. by all means ....lets, test it out !
My Harley was my Father-In Laws harley, he passed 5 months after he bought it, I remember when I came over with it right out of the showroom...the first thing he told me was "this bike never leaves the family"
I ride it and keep it in good shape so I can pass it on to my daughters when they get married and have someone WORTHY of the Old mans ride..I ride it proudly and think of him when I do, I still miss him to this day.
