Google tells me the 94 K75 is a bike.
All the ones I numbered with an "M" were motorcycles. That's why I put the M in there.

M1. 1992: 1991 Suzuki Bandit 400
M2: 1994: 1993 Honda VF750 Magna
M3: 1995: 1993 Honda CBR600F2
M4: 1996: 1994 Honda CBR1000F
M5: 1998: 1994 BMW K75
The BMW was the mildest of the bunch, but comfortable. The Honda CBR600F2 was blazingly fast, while the CBR1000F was the most powerful. I got into a couple of scrapes with the bikes. That could be a story for another time.

Yes, very sweet. Except the Mrs. still brings it up to this day. Every time we get into my car, and it's low on gas, she reminds me of that incident.

Motorcycles have a secret "petcock". If you run out of gas, you turn it, and it makes a little reserve available, so you can get to a station.

On one of my first dates with the now Mrs. Scotch, I was halfway to her house when the car ran out of gas. And I didn't have a cell phone (it was 1995). I think eventually she just started driving to my place, and came across me.
Love at first hitchhike!

There's a great joke somewhere in here. C'mon brain, wake up.

Small price to pay for getting her forever.

Also that seems like a move on your part. Your car ran out of gas and you needed the cute girl to get you home?

That sounds nice, but in the real world, I was seen as the stubborn idiot - one who lets his car get down to fumes, and then relies on an unreliable gadget. I'm lucky she didn't give up on me right then.

Somebody sideswiped my parked car at work. The driver's side is all scratched but it's not that bad. The major issue is it knocked off my driver's side door handle so I can't open the door from the outside. Freaking sucks. And of course I was parked in front of my apartment which is a blind spot for the cams. I know it happened within a 20 min window so I can note every car that came and went. It was hit by a car going out cause the sideview mirror was folded in towards the window, not out towards the windshield. If not for the door handle I wouldn't be nearly as upset.
