from what i saw and experienced with that particular bike, there's no ghost in the machine, it's a complete congregation of them.
i once rode a big-bore yamaha for a season of enduros. it ate a transmission first race out (unheard of), ate a lower end bearing in the first 3 miles at another event, and killed the ignition at the third race.
feeling sorry for me, they stuffed in the motor that had been freshened up right after winning baja. it got about 40 miles and expired.
i was never happier to drop a bike off at the shredder as i was with that one.
i still snarl and growl a bit whenever i see one.
don't care what type of magic wand/card flash trickery they waved at jeffie's former bike. it's still possessed by demons and hell bent on not being ridden.
