Where are the pics of the bike, Santa took with him?...LOL
Lota dollars worth in them dusty old boxes.Never did tale a pic of that........jus a big bunch of dusty old boxes and dirty used parts!!! You wouldn't think it was of any value to see the pile...LOL!!
Not to shabby......was owned by a guy in his 50's and taken good care of and didn't ride that much. 15,500 miles....13 years old...11--1200 miles per yearVery nice Robin !! Now if it would just warm up. LOL
You got that right!!! Motorcycles get real spendy when you buy them a piece at a tyme!!!!Lota dollars worth in them dusty old boxes.
Yep...thanks John....the real sad thing is that I probably won't get to ride it for over a year.....drivers side thumb will be about half healed up by April 5th then I go in for an upper ball joint replacement on my passenger side......that will take me out of doing anything like riding a heavy bike for all next summer and be likely well into the fall before I could ride, work or run a chainsaw.....Very nice Robin !! Now if it would just warm up. LOL
The windshield comes in very handy on longer trips, anything over an hours ride for me. Early days I wouldn`t think of putting a shield on a bike but experience and age changed my thinking somewhat. Two to three hours fighting the wind proves to be very tiring. Last long run I did on an open bike was 5 hours from Louisbourg to Dartmouth the long way round on a six cylinder CBX , one stop in Sheerbrooke for gas. Felt like I had taken a severe beating for the next couple days recuperating.This thing came with a bunch of stuff too.....quick detach windshield, quick detach leatherish saddle bags, quick detach sissy bar and luggage rack......some of it be useful from tyme to tyme I'm sure...

On it for the last 35 days, mostly online buying this year, just buy local to fill the huge stocking that can`t even be hung up by the fire.PSA: Guys its time to start thinking about what to get your lady friend for the holidays. "Ohh I don't want anything" is a LIE!! Don't fret you still have a few days... just start thinking about it now.
Yep that's a long way from Louisburg to Dartmouth........when you say the long way around I expect you came down the east side of cape Breton and then down through the woods until you get back to the coast and then down to Dartmouth....that's alotta wind!!!The windshield comes in very handy on longer trips, anything over an hours ride for me.

Yes, that`s the long way, only did the Trans Can from the causeway to Antigonish, then down to Sheerbrooke on the #7 up the shore to Dartmouth.Yep that's a long way from Louisburg to Dartmouth........when you say the long way around I expect you came down the east side of cape Breton and then down through the woods until you get back to the coast and then down to Dartmouth....that's alotta wind!!!

WE DEAL WITH THIS BESHIK ALMOST EVERYDAY. NOW WE JUST TELL THEM TO SHOW UP WITH THEIR SUV AND LOAD UP. LOLCustomers here would wait until the firewood was froze to the ground and covered deep in snow to call in desperate need of firewood delivery, make the call and expect it delivered within a few hours...meh...!
