  1. Happy Birthday! Now treat yourself to a shot.
  2. I could not pass up the chance for a ride, even though it was our anniversary. She even let me take her sv650 on a solo ride, the only pics I took were at the Alum Creek Dam. It was nice to get out again and enjoy riding, I wish I could have spent more than a few hours out but spousal duties called.
  3. My ABO is on my plate. It's not that common so I hope it would save some time. Warm up the units, I'm coming in.

  6. Nice to see a place for the twins!
  7. Would you rather think about it, or go into your garage and sit on it? You have 4 months..............
  8. :lol: I still laugh at "poop". Great find!
  9. I'm sure you'll get an s-load of advice, but here's my $.02. Consider the big picture and look long term. You will have the opportunity to obtain free training in one of countless occupations. Pick one that would make you employable on the outside world in a field that not only pays well but is in need of qualified applicants. 6 years can move by pretty quick and you may have all you want of it after your enlistment obligation. Get any extra schooling you want in your contract! I didn't get Jump school in my contract and spent 3 years putting in requests, to no avail. My regret.
  10. I don't live in Westerville, but that's where I get to do all my shopping. So as a member do I get a nifty patch for my jacket?
  11. Very sad to hear. Sorry for for your loss.
  12. I got the seller to hand over $1100, which makes the sell price $2400. I've been over the bike pretty good and so far all it needed was a battery and a rectifier/regulator. I would have rather not dealt with any of this. Had I been informed of the bikes status I would have walked. I think the outcome was good so I don't feel as though I was screwed. This is going to be a starter bike for a girl that has never ridden anything with a motor attached. I won't be too pissed when it drops.

  16. Hey Jason

    I'll get some pics up soon of the new steed in the stable. I got him down to $2400 and hopefully aside from some routine maintenance it should be good to go.

    After riding the 650 the difference between that and the sv1000 is quite substantial. In power and handling. Wait till you get on something bigger and pull the throttle. Nice.

  17. Yeah, I've got a 97 blazer that I "incidentally" ended up submerging in a pond. I had to pull the plugs and turn the crank to pump out the water to get it to start. It's funny now but wading out to it in the middle of November to get a chain hooked up was pretty miserable. Aside from replacing the tranny, the thing still runs. Back on topic here. My wife wants re-assurance that the bike's not gonna die on her while riding. I didn't even think about the bearings. The brake fluid is colorless, looks like it had been replaced. Thanks a bunch for pulling the code. The seller is being compliant to make it right, but it's nice to know that legally I still have a way out. Great info!
  18. I bought my wife a 2003 Suzuki sv650 today. Unfortunately, after I got the title I found out the bike is a "rebuilt salvage: flood vehicle". I got the seller to adjust the value to $2500 from $3500. But now I'm concerned about any long term affects that could plague the electrical system after being salvaged from a flood. I rode the bike and it rides fine and has no apparent issues. Everything "seems" just fine. The bike has 7k miles on it and has just a few cosmetic blemishes, understandable for a 5 y/o bike. The bike was issued a state title but that offers me little confidence that the bike will make a decent street machine. Has anyone gone down this road before? What is the likelihood of dealing with faulty electrical issues? If is hasn't already gone wrong, am I out of the woods? The previous owner was Racers Edge. I know they supply a lot of the rebuilt bikes out there. Are they thorough enough on their rebuilds? thanks for the input
  19. About #170 in full gear.
