A while ago I heard a deceased guys bike was for sale. The exact model I was looking for too. Sadly, he'd died riding the bike. As much as I wanted the bike I just couldn't do it, it gave me the creeps.

I'm not religious or superstitious but I suppose my belief in karma was what gave me the willy's.

Thoughts?
