Used Gixxers are the Subaru STIs of the two-wheeled world. Every single one of them has been hammered by an idiot prior to your ownership.

Nope. You don’t know Japanese enthusiasts, then. Lived there for 9 years.

Why do I feel like this is some elder wand shit.

I sometimes wonder about the previous owner of my Fairlady. It came with a peanut butter jar filled with nuts, bolts and a few military style medal bar pins. Not the full medals or anything, just the bars that you’d see on a normal uniform.

I bought a 1973 Mini that had been imported to the states from New Zealand and I’ve always wondered about its previous owner(s), too.

He’s.... waiting.... on parts from Japan?

Doesn’t that stuff ship overnight?
