I work as a Jet Engine Test Engineer for GE Aviation's Peebles Test Operations about 50 miles East of the Eastern Cincinnati suburbs. If you're ever in the area or have some questions about GE Aviation let me know! You can PM me your email if you'd like.
And one last note, if you sell your motorcycle, buy a fun cager and are expecting the mod bug to go away you might want to rethink that strategy...
Already have a new air intake on the way, upgrading the brake rotors, looking at customizing and cleaning up the engine bay, new coil over...
Just find one that has been well maintained.
I would have offered you mine but she just sold in Ohio. These engines are bulletproof through all years if maintained properly. Got mine at 2000 miles when I was in school, drove the bejeezus out of it and finally had to sell with more than 16,000...
Right hand mirror is gone.
All that is left is:
Brake handle, free otherwise I'm tossing it at the end of this week.
Stock Exhaust Shroud
Battery Tender Jr (still in box, unused) and motorcycle jumper cables - $20 + shipping for both! Good deal!
Red fuel tank, dent and rash on a...
Bump! Reflective tape is gone! Come on guys only a few things left! Don't hesitate to PM me if you have even the slightest interest! Need this stuff gone within two weeks!

You can see my baby in the background safe and sound. I pulled it into the engine prep building before the sky came down. This guys window was one of the better...
I will probably be able to keep the motorcycle itch away for a couple years but I'm 100% positive I will again fall prey to it, when the time is right.
Did your mother work at the Evendale or West Chester location in Cincy? I'm out at the Peebles location at the proving grounds but have been...
I've done mine twice, pretty good at it now! Unfortunately a lot of my past miles were done in Iowa so I'm afraid she will succumb to rust long before the engine gives out. It a race between the rust and the original transmission which for a 99 GP means I've been on borrowed time for about 100k...
Well I'm sad to say that the bike has been sold to a loving new owner. I will miss her dearly but with the new engineering job, moving and a 100 mile/day commute through deer infested woods I deemed it time to move on. I now work at a "secretive" test facility for GE Aviation blowing up jet...
