- R.I.P: '82 Kawasaki KZ 305 CSR -- pronounced dead at the scene
- on CA Highway 85 southbound. the little kawi revved its heart
- out to the end, but gave way to a fast loss of power and
- increasing exhaust rattle, and finally quit in a cloud of noise
- and smoke. it lived for another hour, until the battery couldn't
- take repeated attempts to start the sick motor. later, it was
- taken away by ERMAS (Eric Raible Motorcycle Ambulance Service)
- and brought to its final resting place, Santa Clara Cycle Salvage,
- where it will be junked and traded for $100 credit (or a helmet
- if i can talk those cheap bastards into it).
-
- the kawi is survived by a grieving, sentimental owner and an
- overjoyed owner's boyfriend, who proposed on-the-spot burial.
- however, it is believed that the little motorcycle really died
- of heartbreak, since rumors are that the owner was shopping
- for another motorcycle.
-
- a brief memorial service will be held at the as-of-yet
- unscheduled unveiling of the as-of-yet unpurchased NM.
- please do not send flowers; contributions to the AMA
- Motorcycle Museum would be appreciated instead.
