Yeah Coop when I sold my 01 RM 125 in 02,I watched it go out of site in my friends pu,then when inside and balded my head off. I loved that bike, had a srs piston,pipe and silencer,fmf ignition,rg3 clamp,pro action suspension,etc. I was having a serious back operation, had to learn how to walk again and wasn,t able to work for 6 months or so. I broke my back in numerous places in 96 on a drill rig, I spent 100 grand on my back, after surgery 20 k indebt so the RM 125 had to go. Then I went trucking 48 states and Canada,with a tank co. hauling chocolate,veg. oil,etc., we ran 20 to 50 hrs. staight, Mainly Chicago to the east coast alot of hard miles. In 05 I bought a new left over 04 cr125, I go to pickup my maxi van that was parked at my Dads farm for 3 years. I didn,t know he reparked it in the back of the farm in 5 foot grass, it was junked. So now I just have a car, to ride 1 time in 05 I rent a pickup. I was lucky to live through that running hard in the truck,my best friend at that co. died in his truck in Carlisle PA. from extreme fatigue, yeah he worked himself to death. Spring forward to 2010, 1st ride of the year on a 06 cr125 I cracked my hip on a tractor tire without crashing, my back is screwed up also,constant nerve pain all the way down my leg into my foot,spent over 10 k trying to race and never made it to one. There,s alot more bad news, stuff that I can,t believe is happening, had a 3 tooth bridge pulled and a gold crown,infection into my jaw bone and blood stream,2 other teeth are crap.So I,m waiting for all my denture apointments to be down, it,s all from staying up 2 days trucking, sleep 3 hrs. and do it again.When my apointments are done,I have to get another driving job that will keep me out for 3 to6 months at a time, good thing I love America and truck driving.
