I got an email a few days ago from a guy who had crashed his V-Strom. He saw the story of my bike on the V-Strom forum, and contacted me because he wanted to buy my old bike.
I called Geico and found out that my old bike was sold at auction on January 3. In a way it makes me kind of sad that some unknown person has my old bike, but I just have to remind myself that it is just a motorcycle. It is crazy that you can get attached to something like a motorcycle. I hope whoever the new owner is can put it to good use. My worst nightmare is for the Orange County Chopper guys to get it and turn it into some kind of a stupid chopper.
