I will not ride a Honda or a red bike. The reason being that  in 1981 I purchased a Honda XR500R. What a beautiful bike. I had 7days and 77.7k's on the clock it tried to kill me.  A car turned in front of me, front end of the bike stuffed. Honda took a few months to repair and on my second ride I had a head on with a Kombi. Fortunately both of us were travelling slowly. Again major front end damage and me off to hospital.

I was not to blame or could not have avoid these accidents. Again Honda did full repair to the bike, and this bike continued doing its best to kill or piss me off.  If I need to get somewhere important and be on time the bike would not start were normally first or second kick it would start, etc.

I was wondering who else has had similiar experiences
