Well it finally fell off

Post by evol02 »

Out riding the Titan today as a warm up run for a bike ride this coming weekend. The 13 years I've had her it I've been able to keep the side panel on the bike and tightened down. It finally fell off today and got hit a few times by the traffic behind me.

Very sad as it seems this always happened to everyone elses Suzuki, but I was always proud of my original one in perfect condition.

Boo hoo!

Man that sucks!! I had mine stolen in Warsaw, IN while I was eating in a restaurant. I know cause I took it off to use a rag under the cover before going inside to eat. JUST plain wrong! Lucky Jughead had some of his replicas still available.

Bummer alright. After similar experiences, I now adopt the classic pilot's pre-flight check. I wander around the Titan and check/retighten every darn thing that could conceivably fall off :D
