Oh hey there motorcycle friends of Lemmy!

I wanted to share this gorgeous beast and the hilarious story on me getting this bike. 4 years ago a postal truck decided to run over my parked 2005 GS500 and obliterate it 🙃 in the middle of a sunny beautiful day. It was definitely a shitty experience because I had to crawl the bike home with the damage it sustained (speedo cable ripped out, exhaust crushed, bent forks and bars). Luckily the postal service was deemed completely at fault and I got my dream bike paid for entirely by the postal service insurance.

So in a way...thanks postal service for your service in totalling my bike and buying me a new one 🫡
