[sigh] Sold my bike...
To anyone who has ridden with me (there's one or two around here), I sold my motorbike this week. She was a 1991 Honda Nighthawk 750; a great "do everything" standard bike that I loved riding and loved owning. She was fun, and I made a whole lot of new friends who also happened to appreciate my SVX once I got her back on the road again.
As an aside, Craigslist is phenomenal! I posted my bike on Wednesday night for what I considered a fair price. I got five emails the first night, the first one within 45 minutes of posting the bike for sale. Actually, that first guy who emailed me ended up being the guy who bought the bike... we spoke on the phone Thursday morning and I had cash in hand shortly after I got home on Thursday night. Talk about a quick turnaround!! Yeah, there are scams out there, too. I tried to sell a laptop on there a few weeks ago and got nailed by a scammer. Thankfully I was able to get my property back (if the buyer pays by Paypal, never ship to anything other than the confirmed address, folks!) and I'm reselling the laptop again... but my experience with the bike has been great! I've also bought a new digicam and an iPod through CL in the last month. So in my sig, my bike will now go away. Sad, but true... but now I have some money to put into my SVX

Good to hear you made a sacrifice for your SVX. I am sure it will be happy about that. You will be too.

LOL! But I miss my bike, damnit!!!
Although I intend to use the money for the car, it's quite probable it'll end up going on the kids' birthdays next week! I give up

I love my Kawasaki. I bought my daughter a Yamaha PW80 for her 11th birthday. I should be picking up a 2005 Yamaha YZF-R6 Raven in November from a guy I work with. He's buying a 2008 R1 and has promised to sell me the R6. I have ridden it a few times and love it.
