    Congrats, Chad! I hope to see you out on the road at least once next summer...maybe even riding in the same direction....in the same group ;-)

    Am I mistaken, or are the blue accents the same thing you were doing with your last fast ride? Seems quite fitting to me.

    About 4 years ago I had to sell the Blu/wht '86 Gixxer 1100 I bought new and had partially rebuilt. I loved that thing. Had to sell it because of the bitch X2 drove us into bankruptcy and foreclosure. The '01 is a better bike in every way, but I still miss the Olde School gixxer.

    I have never sold a motorcycle. I can't see selling any of my Hondas but the Gixxer might be on the list soon.

    I traded my Sprint ST in on a zx-14... I regretted it almost immediately.

    A year later, the 14 went for my Speed Triple. I couldn't be happier with that decision.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...

    Sometimes I miss my SV for commuting. Last I heard it's got a Gixxer fork, gixxer wheels and living in Sonoma.

    Holy chicken strips Batman! Obviously, the roads are dead straight in FL..... Congrats though!

    You should fix that by making an epic jpurney back thru the south, eating plenty of good, fried southern food along the way! (Wish I could accompany ya)

    Congrats on the new ride!

    I sold a CBR f2 track bike on here years ago. It was yellow with a blue front fender and a black tank. I miss it and want it to come home everyday.
    due to lack of interest tomorrow has been cancelled

    I never regret bike decisions. I always take my time and think things through before I fly off the handle and sell an SV that I shouldn't have sold and buy a Versys that I shouldn't have bought.

    well, at least you got a smoking deal so when you unload that thing you won't take it in the shorts too bad...
