I suppose this could have gone in the CL thread, but I figured this would garner more traffic.

:edit: blarg.  bailed on this one.

Welcome back!  How've you been?  Sorry, can't say that one is familiar

[teddy037.3]

been better, I suppose, but whatev.

waitin' on an email reply from this dude... might go check it out

[teddy037.3]

hmmm.

jim is the 2nd owner, 29k miles, unknown service history, only one (black) key

tags expired in june and he has the title.

assuming the bike is in otherwise good kit, what should I pitch? 3?

2006 with immobilizer and just one black key? 29,000 miles and no service history? I'd say $2k, $2.5K tops. It's not the miles. Heck, the guy that bought my old Monster has 28.5K on in now. It's that key thing and you just know it's in need of at least $500.00 maintenance just to bring it up to snuff. My $0.02.

BTW, nice to see you interested in getting back to riding.    The back must be feeling better..

[teddy037.3]

yeah, my main concern is the key/service thing. I'm assuming it'll need new cam belts right off the bat.

also curious about why he let safety lapse.


I do miss being on a bike. back's not 100%, and I doubt it ever will be, which is why I'm looking at a multi vs. another monster

[MadDuck]

As long as you are looking at something along the lines of a Multistrada I can highly recommend something like this, although not a Duc.

You could make a lowball offer. You never can tell what might work. Our shop did that twice and we now have two bikes to show for it. These models don't have the normal BMW super high saddle height but it still might stretch you a bit. I think it's comparable to the Multi. You are always welcome to come by the shop and see how it fits you.

mac, you wouldn't happen to have a truck and ramp and be willing to move a bike for beer, would you? ^_^

i have a truck and a ramp, but you would have to bring the bodies to move it. when do u need it?

[teddy037.3]

haven't bought anything yet, I'm still ironing out the details.

thank you for the offer, though   hopefully this will work out

Not anything that I personally own but if push comes to shove I can score a truck & a trailer.  If Anne has these things then I can contribute a body. For what it's worth.  

Or you could just ride dirty back to your place and I could give you a ride over to get it.

Or you could just ride dirty...

awwwww yeeeaaa.

actually, the thought did cross my mind.  but I'm a little less keen on getting it from home to SS that way
