I'm wondering where my old 695 is, sold it to some kid in chicago, do you post here? hows the old girl doing?
you guys ever wonder how your old bikes are?
and my speed triple is in seattle with a DEA agent lol
I always wonder were my old bikes are. The first bike I sold to someone was a mixed experience. I remeber watching the guy ride of on the bike that I had just finished putting 20000 miles on. I was sure hoping he wouldn't bin the thing in a week. I never kept touch with any of them though.
caught fire and parted 2 years ago

I often wonder where the thieves are that stole my bikes. I know two of them are in jail at the moment. I would like to think that one that stole my R1 was the same one that the MPs shot and killed outside of my house during another attempted theft. I'd like to find his grave, so once a year I can gather a bunch of motorcyclists together and piss on his grave.
gimme a call when the time is right

i'm in ....on a happier note....I pass my old M800 every day. Sometimes i want to leave him a note and tell him it has a 14t front sprocket...then I think...stuff it.
My first bike was a yamaha pw50, this is going back about 17 years ago or so. My dad sold it to a younger kid on my hockey team and I moved up to a kx60 with a 6 speed. Turns out the family let one of the kids' friends ride who gave it a good thrashing by driving it into a fence. Still remember that kid's name who totaled it was dustin...
I think of the 250 all the time. Never see the guy that bought it. Watching him ride it out of the driveway was horrible. Had the bike for 3 years, it taught me how to ride and was so forgiving.
I know he is thrashing it and not taking care of it the way I did. Then again I just have to go out to the Az room and look at the monster and all the bad feelings go away. ;D
My first bike was a cbr600 that went through hell and eventually got sold for scrap.
I sold the 996 to a guy on this board, I talk to him every other week and we have a couple of long rides planned. I couldn't be happier with who I sold it to. I know it gets taken care of and ridden properly, he also calls me any time he has a question about it.
Sold my 400cc special ( i think it was Kawasaki or Yamaha ) 1982 to a co-worker after wrecking it. She and her bf started to work on it. Last time I checked, it was gathering dust in the garage.
Mine are in the garage ;D
Actually, I had a Harley Sportster I sold to a firefighter who worked right behind my building and I'm curious if he enjoyed it as much as I didn't.
I just saw pics of my old S2R on this board the other day. It looked like the bike is well taken care, and hasn't changed a bit.
I've been through a lot of bikes, I don't get attached at all to them any more (I used to, a little bit), actually the only one I ever see anymore is the CBR900RR I sold to my brother. Hasn't missed a beat.
I sometimes wonder who bought my black 05' 620. I traded it for my current bike. I wonder if they rev the bike while at stop light to hear the sweet sound from the leo vince pipes. Man I miss that deep sound from those pipes. :'(

I wonder where my old 750 went... she was totaled on the 405 onramp when I ran into a ton of radiator fluid left over from a DUI hit-and-run that had happened 3 minutes before hand. I actually tracked her out to the Inland Empire and to a salvage yard, but I wonder who got her. I hope someone put her back together... it'd be nice if she were in one piece and on the road again. (yeah right... one can wish, though).
I sold my cagiva privately to a man from a few towns over. 2 years later it was listed on eBay with all my custom bits still on it, a big scratch and 2500 more miles. it sold for 500 more than I sold it for.
In my experience, bikes and women are similar in so many respects. I tend to forget both ASAP when they are no longer in my life.
I'm never selling my bike. I will kill it before someone else has a chance to ride it (unless it's stolen and then the rider can rot in hell).
Carlos never say never, i've said it more than once and then exchanged it for another bike :-[

You are weak my friend. Plus you work on bikes every day. This is my baby (until the wife says otherwise)

Except for that stalking part, either you stalking her or she stalking you!!!
