OK I just agreed to sell the 47K mile GS to some dude ... Yea dont get me started I know I am stoopid ... So my question is ...
Am I going to hell ... I am only getting ~ $500 for it, and all the blue pretty stuff is comming off and I am fitting ugly red body on it, but it has good extras on it anyway ... and it runs like a dream ... So ...

1. I am going to hell for dropping it off on some un suspecting dude ...
2. I am going to hell for selling the one I have has for 10 years ...
3. I dont know why but I am going to hell ...

OK I am Hindu and I dont associate Hell with the same stigma that christians do ... it does exist, but saying it wont make it so ... and dont tell me I am going to hell for being Hindu ...

I did tell him about it, like 46K is high for it, oil useage, and other things to be noted ...
Cool.

Hell's not so bad...it's really a dry heat. I moved here in '98

Oh Crap ... I hate dry heat ... makes me blister ... sweaty is better than screaming in pain ...
Reason 4. For tossing a 47K miler out on its ass. ....
Cool.

You at-least need to autograph the plastics.  Make it the first in the "Srinath Signature Edition GS500 Series".  That way, if a future owner shows-up here asking about the nylon screws are in his carb sliders, then we'll know to ask him "say, does your bike say "Srinath" on it anywhere?"
You cannot escape our master plan!

HAHA. Jared, I'm thinking about moving into town. You happen to have a spare room at your place? I need a roof to stay under until I find some prime real estate preferably within 5 mins. of the fire pits. hehe. Oh, and Srinath, I'll see you down there. At least I won't be down there for throwing my poor GS out on the street with some stranger. Makes me feel a little better.

Don't fret over the GS because I did something more horrible this past week. I sold off my non-funtional Heathkit H8 computer on ebay. They haven't been made in over 25 years and two guys got in a bidding fight over it.

It is on its way to Minnesota to keep someone busy this winter.

GSes abound. Although you may feel alienated, you made someone a great deal. Pour you regrets into the next project.  :cheers:

What he said. :lol:

There's no such thing as hell...unless you're married to my wife.  :kiss:

It's just a bike, a piece of property. Unlike a wife...you can sell it.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

I don't know?  I've never been to Hell, but I know where it is:


Actually, there are great roads in the Pinckney State Recreation Area, so getting to Hell is actually quite fun.  It was a cold day in Hell today (watch out for black ice and snow-covered roads leading to it) but the forecast is for warmer weather, perhaps even rain for later in the week.  Regardless, I'm waiting 'til spring to possibly go to Hell.   :)

Seriously, $500 seems reasonable, so long as you don't misrepresent the way it works.
