Well I had a loan on my jet skis and I had already paid alot on the loan but not sure exactly how much. I got it transfered over to this but I only owe 4000 somthing.
I gotta look at my loan payment reciepts, but to be exact I think I paid $5600.

Definatly mint. Flawless. and the 9000 that were on it were babied miles. When the guy came to deliver it I was suprised cause he was mid 40's. He said the only miles on it this year were bringing his son to school. He was riding with his wife on her cruiser but she hurt somhing and nolonger rides. The whole bike runs & drives like new. And it has brand new michelin tires F&R.. I think there pilot powers not sure I gotta look. They still have the nipples on them.

I'm gonna get a beater after winter. I already have good brake and throttle controll. I had dirtbikes I used to wheeile the **** out of when I was like 12 till 14 vut didn't ride for a while so I bought a 50 at the end of last year to learn brake controll & ballence point agin. Well this year on my F2 (first rocket), I was doing standups 1/4 mile smoothly at over 65mph 4 days on my first bike. I have a passion for bikes & pickup fast on things like this. Also before I had 2 hours on my ttr225 I just got I could do standups on that until I felt like setting it down. I can go aroung turns on my back wheel of that and steer wheelies too on that. Also no problem speeding up or slowing down wheelies on that.

All these pics were taken by the guy I bought it from a few days ago. So still at his house right here. I was gonna try to get it in my living room but like I said it wouldn't go up the ramp. That would have made a cool pic.

I actually got another browser open with HAI's page too. Thats where all my stunt **** comes from. I've never delt with a place I like as much as them. I also like supporting them because of how much they do for the sport.

Re: Finally Got Another Bike!

Got real ancy and took the bike for a 10-15 min ride earlier. Did a few small ballence point standups. This bike is so easy to standup. Not going crazy yet, still don't have insurance, but I rode out a couple nice little standups earlier. I'll definatly have some pics up when it goes on the road. And my buddys got a camera I'll try to get a clip up within a couple weeks.

Re: Finally Got Another Bike!

Sweet bike man. Looks exactly like this guys bike I used to ride with. Mark Hughes. First time I saw someone ride a wheelie from exit 10 to 8 on the northway. Got me hooked.

How fast are you going in that pic? Looks to be around 15-20mph...

EDIT: And wtf is that on the porch in the background?
