She's gone

[JaySVX]

Well, my SVX is gone. There's a lot of expenses to keep up on with the new house, so I tossed it up for sale. I ended up putting it on craigslist. Got a bunch of **** offers, as it always happens that way. There were even a few decent ones. I had a bunch of people offering to trade things, like a computer (don't try and tell me how your pentium class d powered computer with 1gb of ram in nothing more than a shiny $50 case with neon lights and windows is worth my SVX), an rv or rv trailer, stuff like that. I was entertaining a couple trade offers that included cash, because that was my only real reason I'd sell it, I needed to pay some freaking bills.

The guy was decent enough. His ex-wife left him and took everything but his truck and his bike. Then his truck died on him, and he had no way to get back and forth to work. He offered me his bike and a fair chunk of change. Everything checked out, so now he's rocking an awesome unique car that is rock solid reliable. And now I can catch up on some bills, build my new garage, and ride around on a new scooter when it's nice out.



It's an 01 Yamaha Roadstar. 1602cc or 98ci, 63hp, 98lb torque. It's comfortable as all hell, with cruise control, 2 tripometers, clock on the tank, lots of neat little bells and whistles. I took it on a 200 mile road trip and, other than the state of NJ trying to kill me, it was a real nice ride.

(by nj kill me i mean soon as i hit the road have the worlds heaviest fog set in, roads wet, temp drop to 45F, low beam out, only high beam in super heavy fog, run out of gas, super winding roads, asshole drivers, no towns, can't see due to fog droplets on glasses, have to keep wiping them off. Once I hit the PA boarder, it was clear as day, light as day, no fog no rain, warmed up to about 60F, and was generally beautiful out. I survived NJ, but not by much. 3 hours to go 70 miles. I'll be watching you NJ...)

I'll buy another SVX down the road when finances are more stable, I've always wanted a pearly. So, it's gone, but not forgotten.

Sweet So she's not really "gone", just gone to a new home. I saw "She's gone" and I think 0h n0es he wrecked it!

Jay,
It's hard to believe that nobody jumped on this car when it was put up for sale here. With all the upgrades you put in I thought it would have been a no brainer?? I kept going back to look at your for sale post and was very tempted to just buy this car and try to unload mine. But in the end although I really want a 5 speed, I feel a strange loyalty to my svx and couldn't really bear the thought of parting with her, even for one that was already set up perfectly.
I'm glad you got a fair deal on it, and I hope the new owner takes care of it as good as you did. That's a nice bike too! Is he another PA guy?

On this forum Sean? Man you are weird.


Jay, That's a very nice bike and I wish you good times and good fortune with it. And as they used to say on Hill Street, "be careful out there"

You are an SVX person Jay. You will get your Pearlie, and a good one. Don't go away anywhere, keep in touch here. It's always been fun having you around.

Joe

I know you will befriend another SVX along the way, but a GARAGE Jay?...

That will make us jealous.

PS- Good looking bike.
