Last December my cousin went down, we believe he was a victim of a hit and run. He sustained major injuries, lost his right leg, has minimal use of his right arm, broke some vertebrae in his neck and now wears a collar. He exhausted all his coverage so his daughter and sister have started a go fund me campaign. I visit him regularly and help with medical appointments. I have taken on selling his used and take off stock bike parts.
This morning I had a buyer for a windshield, his take off stock shocks and factory service manual. I chatted with the buyer for a bit. He asked about my cousin and I explained all of the above. Then he placed his hand over the windshield and shocks and said he wasn't going to install them. I asked why, and he said "jinxed parts". I told him I didn't believe in that. And here's the thing, they were take off parts that were NOT on the bike at the time of the accident.
Are you superstitious? Would you not install good used or take off parts if you knew they came from a wrecked bike? If so, how do wrecking yards and junk yards stay in business?
Now pardon me while I turn myself around clockwise three time and toss salt over my right shoulder,....LOL!!!
