    I friggen love that bike. The yellow and black firebolt like you've got, or the black with gold touches... those are the two I used to just stare at. The only thing I never could get around to liking was the cartoon number font on the tachometer.
    Well, I guess your truck must be fixed? Hah

    Ha Ha, Truck is still waiting to be fixed, short block is in but a bunch of gaskets are back ordered....im still driving it, its not gonna blow up.

    Matt, you and I are in the minority it seems. The Buell's dont usually sit well with fans of Japanese bikes, I have a few buddies here that are ready to stage an intervention of some sort. Other's are scratching their heads (like the Capn' and FJ12) and wondering WTF I see in these things. (Aside form a very good purchase price).

    Its all in good fun....sorta....there is truth in many a Jest . LOL


    On another "Honda" & Japanese bike Note, I did get a line on a VFR 750 (90 or 91), a 97 CBR F3 and a 89/90 GIXXER 750 while I was there getting the Buell. We'll see what happens with that.

    Stay tuned on the Honda's and Suzuki, i'm off to get them tomorrow, struck a good deal so they're coming home. 2 1/2 hrs drive each way with the 18' enclosed trailer, weather should be clear and sunny so hopefully a good drive.

    The look a bid dodgy, im always wary when I see bikes sitting in "bubba's" yard with a rung under them.

    I agree. The good news is that I have ZERO desire for them. But it is definitely an anomaly listing here in the PNW. I just thought the timing was interesting.
