Me too just needs more publicity  :thumb:
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

If a rich person came up to me and ASKED how much for the bike I would say something crazy like 10 grand but really anything over $2000 or a straight trade for a ducati monster it would be a done deal.

It worked... :icon_mrgreen:

I sold mine for $2700, then shelled out an additional $4500 for my new ride, which is crashed and in the garage now  :sad:

It was a great little bike, but I won't be getting another one (even though I still really like the looks of the bike)...just not enought comfort for me...the only way one will end up in my garage again is if my daughter gets one as her first bike...  :thumb:

Later.

No to blow the topic here, but. . .
Those other 8000 members you speak of are at the "Last Poster Wins" thread contributing on a daily basis.

Not sure i would sell but reasonably my GS should only go for about $1000. I think i would ask for $1500 so i would have room to come down if needed and some money to put towards another GS.

I bought my GS for $3000 CDN and put on over 10,000kms in the year...then sold it for $2700...so $300 for over 10,000kms of use...not a bad deal...

Yup, my buddy was recording when I went down...my camera was off...that would have been an interesting video(camera was strapped to my left ankle)...but I was waiting for the good twisty roads on the other side of the ferry...didn't quite make it... :wink:

Yup...but the wifey has said "no spending on the bike until after Xmas..."

So I probably won't even start the teardown until at least during the Xmas break...otherwise I will have trouble staying with her request...and I "get it", pay for the Santa bill first...then I can repair my toy...it just sucks to still have nice weather and not be able to ride...seeing others riding is killing me... :sad:

But yes, a rebuild thread will happen...

Good for you madjack  :thumb:, so far to date in parts etc, Ive put about 2 grand into my bike and only just done 3000km. Mind you thats alot of parts n service plus the rebuild and bits n pieces. But what ive sunk doesnt worry me. Bloke from a dealership told me that when you do find the bike you want, within a day the price you paid doesnt worry you or what you spend on it.
