I was referring more to the finding the bike, getting someone to check it out, arranging the paperwork, aspect of the deal...

It's not all that hard if you look the right way. Depends on what you're looking for too. |

Lowered the asking price on the SC by a grand and the offers came out of the woodwork.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Tempting for sure. Are those BST's only for that bike? I know the rear was but we had some issues with the front. I can't remember if that was because they thought other versions would work but only one version for that bike? Anyway, if you're serious about offing it that might be an offer to consider. Then you could always do extra work and put it back close to what it was when you bought it and part out the rest. Naaah.  |

Still waiting for the regulator/rectifier to come in for the 675... Under recall with Triumph.
Everyday I have been starting her up...but I was under the impression that the RR could fail and do more expensive damage...so I refrained from riding her. But since MD explained that further damage was very unlikely....I took her for a spirited ride ...terrorizing the Kahala - Diamond Head neighborhood today...didn't want to get to far from home.
Riding the 675 is exhilarating, when you scream her to 10K.....WOW!
Maybe it's a riding a 9 year newer bike, fuel injected ...And a sport bike too boot.....yeah I do miss the dry clutch chatter.......
But do like where I am going & what I am on.

10K? You're just starting to hit the power band........ isn't there something like another 3K to go? |

Yeah, I kind of ran out of road..... I have to admit riding the 675 compared to the Monster...two very different vehicles!! You have to commit much more when on the 675, I am giving her much respect . As some wise man said..."boy..It's about your will, skill & thrill level...everything else is just fluff".  |
