848 Ride Report

[MadDuck]

HOORAY!!!!!
So did you make south seas happy?  If so, mind pm'ing me how it ran you out the door?

I'll make Service and Parts happy a little bit at a time. I ended up buying a used one with 600 miles on it and I stole it. A veritable garage queen as it had 2 & 1/2" chicken strips on it. I swear it was never turned. Of course those strips are a lot smaller now.  [moto]  Most of the mods that were already done to the bike are being undone or redone. The guy did have Termi slip ons on it but he took them off and ebayed them off separately (which I missed only because I had a non-matching password problem  ).

so aside from new cans, what's being done/redone as we speak, er, type?

New cans will come later as I need to sell off a few old 999 & Monster parts first. The stock cans aren't bad at all actually however some Termi's are still in the plan. I'll also sell the shorty Pazzo levers that came off the 848. (I can't stand the shortys). I'll sell the rear sets that came with it as well as the dark tinted screen. There is a medium tint double bubble screen from Zero Gravity on it's way. It's getting a replacement carbon front fender. The one that the guy put on the bike is super cheesie and I'll try to off that cheap. It'll get a carbon rear hugger this weekend and some of those seat vent scoops. That should just about do it, eh?

Shazam!!!  And so it begins.   

So, I almost think that red one that you sent me the link to was Rich's bike.  Looked like his helmet and all...

Also, check out the Leo Vince cans for that bike.  From what I can tell on youtube they sound right wicked!

Oh yea, let me know how much you wanted for the 999 discs.  And I am still waiting on you to tell me if you want those Oakleys that I was telling you about.  I won't be able to get them shipped directly to you, they have to go to my address either here or at home, but I will be back there in less than a month now.

Rich's bike? Now that would be interesting...... I don't think it's his though. In an earlier ad posting for the same bike the guy mentioned having new expenses now that he had a baby boy, or at least that's what I think he said.

The Leo's would be a second choice. They also require some sort of ECU modification and tuning so by the time I was done I'd be at the same expense level as the Termi's.  With the Termi's you get a warranty so that's the deal maker for me.

Then again that is the type of paint / decal job he was describing to us. The ad lists a phone #. Is it his?

No idea.  All of my phone contacts were wiped when I came out here.  I won't get them back until I get back home.
