Well this is my first visit since the posting. Must say that it has
generated quite a few responses. An email or phone call would have been nice,
but what the hell. Perhaps written responses are more honest. Though no
offenses were intended it appears that many have been taken. I do however find
it humorous that an inanimate object can effect some one emotionally, but to those
offended please accept my apologizes.
Since this is a forum and not an auction site it is hard for me determine a
value for this bike. The tank and plastics have been repainted, but there was
nothing that could be done about the rest of the transmogrification. The bike runs
very well so striping it seemed kind of extreme, but perhaps that is its fate.
Would a grand off be in order, or should I expect more abuse about the reduced
price? My idea of a good bike is one that will get me there and back. Don't
really care how I look along the way. My philosophy is rather than wash a bike
one should ride in the rain once and a while.
