Title: *Closed given away already* Wrecked 2004 GS500F for free
Post by: lesfly on April 24, 2008, 11:02:47 AM
OK, just as the title says free. I believe the frame is still good. The forks are bent though. The motor has a small leak and I believe that can be fixed with a new gasket.
The only reason this is going to be free is that it's parked at my friend's house and I don't want to cause him anymore trouble then I already have. So it'll be perfect if you can pick it up. We can arrange for day and time to meet.

Area: Los Angeles
PM me to arrange if you are interested.

Its $729 via motorcycleshippers.com. I think If I can do what I need to do with it (after putting my kat FE on it) I will be a happy clapper.
Essentially I have to sell off the 3 gas guzzlers I got (yes motorcycles can be guzzlers too) and experiment and learn the F ... pronto ...
Send me pics and I will gladly send you a giant sized cake (or a box of krispy kremes or some other nasty redneck crap like pickled pigs feet or somehting).
Cool.
Buddha.

Buddha, if someone from Los Angeles comes and arranges to pick up,  I'd give it to him. You understand right? I just don't want to deal with shipping because the arrangement for that is not as convenient since it's not parked at my house.

I give free riding lessons to the Marines on base to get their MC stamp and this would be another student that could learn the proper way.

It will be picked up by the shipping company. I need the bike to make bars as well as other doohickeys like case guards that will actually fit all gs'es.
That was what I meant by "what I need to do".
I dunno, for 2-3 years I have said I'd make case guards and I this was what was lacking ... an GS-F.
It wont be any worse than someone picking it up.
Cool.
Buddha.

It's still easier to arrange with person than shipping company. See, it's at my friend's house, so I'll need to be there with the person that is picking up. If it's company, the time arrangement is never as convenient as you wish it to be.

Just a note to anyone that's interested, bent forks and leaky engine which means the bike doesn't start and will need a truck to pick up.

At this point we should rename it an auction or have you guys bribe him. You know offer him a case of whatever beer he wants or maybe a look at Hoffas corpse which you have at home.

But Import  Babe is winning based on how he said he wanted to do it local and she was first local. Sorry Buddah but you forget to rub your own belly before posting

Oh yea dude ... does this mean you dont need stock forks ... nice new seals, new 15wt oil fresh, never even really run on the bike and progressive springs and new spacers in it ... $100 .. maybe $150 if you want seals that dont leak.

You never even let me finish my search after you popped back in touch with me ...

Cool.

Sorry guys, now I feel like a jackass. My friend just called and said he'd keep it. So I'll just close this and sorry for the hi hopes. I'm a jackass.

Buddha, thanks but I'll just let my friend deal with it now that he's keeping it.

Sorry, I'm still a jack.
