wow, that is amazing. i thought riding a few hours on a sport bike would be torture. but if dropping a nice fair'ed sportbike brings the value down as much as it does, how much would circling the world, burying it in sand, putting it on its side to do engine work, running it through several rivers, and putting easily over 200K miles on just that one trip bring the value down?
