Title: Sold the GS this morning
Post by: ninja_steve on February 12, 2012, 12:16:22 PM
I was sad to see it go but I ran out of time and funds to work on it.  I might be moving out to Sacramento this year so I'm going to hold out buying something in the future for a while.  Ride safe guys.  I'll pop in occasionally.

I did the same thing last summer, I still have 6 bikes and about 3 of them will be going also. If I had a bigger garage I would probably have all my bikes from the 70's, no doubt  :thumb:

Haha. 

I feel like a failure not finishing it but I just don't have the time right now.  I plan to build a supermoto next.  Supermoto rules  :woohoo:

I live in San Antonio.  I'm hoping to build a KTM 525 or an XR650 at some point.

I need more! I have the supermoto, but I still need a streetfighter for having fun, a street/sportbike for highway and 2up riding, a citybike like a cb125. I'm sure I could think of a few more than I need.

Yes! I took mine out yesterday to the dirtbike spot by my parents house. Turns out sumos do NOT work in the mud. I spent half the time trying to get my bike unstuck. I only crashed once though, and had a pretty good time.
