Gixxer is gone

January 30th, 2010

The Gixxer is gone…sold this afternoon.  That wraps up yet another project that I never started!!!  The guy that bought it knew more about GSX-R’s than I could ever imagine knowing about anything.  As it turns out, the bike was a hodge-podge of different bikes and we discovered a crack on the welds for the rear subframe. 

Thanks to everyone for your offers and very interesting trade offers.

GSX-R is for sale

January 28th, 2010

After going back and forth a thousand times in my mind, I decided to sell the GSX-R before I get in too deep (financially) with it.  I put an ad on Craigslist earlier today.  I’m asking $400 if anyone is interested, and will also consider an even trade for an older Jap bike with a title (in comparable poor condition I’m sure).

I’m so excited about the potential of getting it running, but I’ve been finding out that parts are extremely hard to find and when you d find them they’re really expensive.  So, I’ll take whatever I get for it and try to get the CL200 a little further along.

I’m definately interested in a trade….just can’t steer myself away from new bike projects!

It is cold and have no motivation to work on bike plus wife has a long list of items for me to do.  I have a 1982 GL500 this is my third bike in the last 2 years.  I stripped it down to a cruiser so I could work on the bags, faring, and trunk.  That never happened all I have done is ride.

Happy go lucky kid.

This time of year sucks

January 4th, 2010

I’ve been trying hard to become motivated to work on any of my bikes…but the motivation just ain’t there!  Maybe if I had better heat in my garage or if I had the guys to take a ride in the freezing cold.

Anyone out there making any progress this winter?
