I thought $200 was completely reasonable for a lid and gogs that was used twice... ever... the dang thing still SMELLS new, even!

What did the aforementioned fatherless pennypinchers offer?

What did the aforementioned fatherless pennypinchers offer?

ok, granted, I don't expect to get near new price... but brand new, the lid, gogs, and boots ran me almost 700. had them together for 300.

get an email: how much for just the helmet and gogs? so I tell him 200 (V3s go for 375 new, w/o gogs)

reply: I'm not looking to spend that much for gear. thanks, bro.

200 for what is essentially a brand new top-end lid, thermal goggles, plus the spare kit and bag is too much?     how much did he think I was going to come down? why even ask?


at least I might be moving the forks, and hopefully I can squeeze in a trip to the PO in between works tomorrow to mail out my windscreen....

[teddy037.2]

sorry.

it's been a long week.


I'm tired and cranky.

Here's something to not cheer you up at all:




Tristo like muchly.

There, there.

It gets worse don't you know?

At least you're moving the forks and the windscreen. I get silly emails that don't go anywhere. And that's about the Monster and not even my personal life. Of course I guess that wanting to spend $200.00 for the lid & goggles seems silly too.

Then again I have been told that the complete stock exhaust system that I removed from the Suzuki is, essentially, completely worthless. The windscreen and the shop manual might be worth a pittance.

[teddy037.2]

There, there.

I'm sure it will...

[eltristo]

Well, happy light good morning to you all too!

[teddy037.2]

yes, I suppose it is

I am going to assume you all remember a story from last year about a guy who crashed his bike in the Hanauma bay area, woke up in the ocean and swam to another island?

I met him tonight.

His name is Jared.  The story I heard was mildly exaggerated; here is the real one. 

He was on his bike, a Shadow 1100.  He seemingly got hit by a gust of wind, highsided, and flew over the cliff to the ocean about 75 ft below.  He came to in the ocean with his helmet full of water trying to gasp for breath.  He managed to get the helmet off and started swimming.  The only thing he could see was either the Diamond Head or Makapu'u lighthouse, he knew there were some islands around, so he headed for them.  After what turned out to be like 4 hours, he ended up on rabbit island and fell asleep.  He was seen in the morning by some zoologists or something who thought he was a monk seal, and went to investigate.  They were, of course, appalled to find that he was not a seal and was still on this nature preserve, but decided to rescue him anyway.  Nice folk those scientists. 

Anyway, he was a groovy guy.  Former submariner.  Former Honda rider.  Vegetarian freak.  I was awestruck.

GTFOOH!

Is this April Fool's day?  Just exactly where did he go over the edge? I mean physically off the bike.

A good story, sure. But.................. it sure is getting deep around here.

[teddy037.2]

do I remember?

shit, I can't remember what I ate for lunch a week ago!

[DRKWNG]

LOL I did hear about that guy/story from someone.  That is all.

after having a brief discussion today concerning reverse engineering, and now having a look at pics from the dude who modded his stock rearsets on an M1100...

I have begun to notice some significant customization potential in that bike...








someone hold me, I'm scared....
