I kept it in my bathroom for the first week or two and read through it/admired the pictures

Looks like some prime avatar material, too.

There were 2 available for under a grand that needed work on BARF awhile back. The bikes are rare but not particularly valuable, due to the issues Sanchezz mentioned.

I'm doing it for another buddy (who used to post here). He's going to fly in, do the trackday, and then ride it back. Or maybe hitch a ride with Spiffness, I dunno. He doesn't usually plan these sort of things that far in advance

giving as stranger fat wad of cash to go buy a random two wheeled machine would be awesome. Like a little motorcycle capsule toy machine, you should start a service.

Once I get my garage in order, I'd strongly consider it for people who promised not to be idiots about it. Thus far it seems to have worked out just fine for krapski, Spiff, and I don't see why it's not going to work out for grizzledmelkeba too.

What about buying a motorbike and leaving it in your garage so after the first month of winter and me questioning my sanity for moving back to Toronto, I could just fly to california and ride my bike around for a bit?

Sometimes I wish I could just go to the States, buy a bike & take it home with me. It would probably still be cheaper than buying one here. Slavvy posted:Got a raft that'll make it all the way over the Pacific? Nah, this'll work though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DscBbL22Vb4

Slavvy posted:Like a gift-wrapped present for yourself I assume importing modern bikes is a nightmare in NZ as well, but just so you know, I vaguely remember raising the idea of wrapping the gixxer z3n bought/pimped with my cash in old goldwing fairings to be able to bring it home via Australia's pre-1989 import loophole. (Old bike? No expensive / complicated compliance bullshit). I still think this is a sound plan, and given how cheap bikes are in the US, SOMEONE should crate a z3n special home to the antipodes one day. ~$1500 in shipping is still a bargain when you consider the low price of ludicrous horsepower in the Bay Area.

I've thought along similar lines. Accounting for $1500's shipping and $600 compliance for NZ roads, getting a $2,500 fireblade would still be an absolute bargain.

CA to TN would be a long haul and buying something reasonable for distance doesn't seem fun...hmm cross country supermoto or streetfighter?

They're running unfinished bikes without it IMO. I'm thinking about checking out the WSBK event at Laguna Seca in July, maybe they'll have ABS by then. clutchpuck fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Apr 23, 2014 |
