After two years of sitting in the garage I finally got around to fixing up my '03 620.  Originally the shock went out, which caused the tire to bump the license plate frame, tail light, mud guard, etc.  Then, the chain popped off while i was riding and caused some more havoc.  At one point she fell over in the garage, which bent the clutch lever.  So I've spent the last month gathering parts and putting her back together.  I probably would have gotten around too it much sooner had I not bought a '10 Streetfighter in the meantime. 

Here she is in all her glory.  Still lots of fun to ride. 

ps.  my favorite part of this bike has always been the fork reflectors.

Chain popping off while riding sucks.  I had that happen years ago.

Yep, get rid of the reflector asap.

Sweetness! Glad she is alive and well and back on the road. Doesn't get much better. [thumbsup] [Dolph] Does she and SF get along OK in garage? [popcorn] [bacon] ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
