Bit more complicated than that, victorluiz1980 & Rob, and quite a long explanation so please bear with me
My first S10 (top picture) was an ex demo,,,,then they brought out the World Crosser......and I thought 'WOW' and as I was offered a decent deal (we always think we get a decent deal) I traded
I loved the World Crosser but after 2 years of ownership and about 15k miles a myopic 84 year old pulled out in front of me. Although I was wearing a day-glow vest and had my headlights and spots on he claimed he didn't see me
Luckily my sixth sense told me he would probably pull out on me so I'd hit the brakes hard just as he crossed the line, Got my speed down to about 5mph and as he turned the right hand side of the bike clashed with the right hand side of the car. I must have over corrected as I bounced off the car and the bike went down on the right hand side....so all the damage was on the right hand side and I was thrown off. I was able to ride the bike home
Apart from a few light bruises I was OK. The police arrived and told the old man it was his fault. Unfortunately he told a mass of lies to his insurance company which didn't add up....the biggest one was that he had completed the turn, was travelling at about 20mph when I came around a bend out of control doing at least 55mph when we collided! I had to put the case in the hands of a solicitor and it was scheduled for court. Almost 12 months later his insurance company settled about 1 week before the case was to be heard.
It's a long explanation but I knew from day 1 that I was going to win the case especially with the police as a witness. Due to his lies and having to get a solicitor involved I received compensation for my slight injuries. This money and the fact that the bike had lost it's appeal to me led me to trade in for a Gen 2 with electronic suspension. All my farkes and World Crosser bits were transferred across....hence the Gen 2 World Crosser.
The last picture was taken in Spring this year when the bike had about 44k miles on the clock
If it hadn't been for the old man there is a good chance I would still have the original World Crosser
