Re: New bike for me!

yeah.. as much as I really liked the powers cage on my gixxer I dont think I am gonna go with their cage on the honda. If the current design is the one on their site it mounts onto those flimsy flimsy front motor mount tabs that **** will break your engine for sure.

Well.... in Fl I have..

My boy moved down there last Aug. We went down to go diving and he never came back. Actually, we went down, he liked it alot. Came back a week after me and picked up his belongings, kissed his GF good-bye and went back. He's been working fishing boats/yahts ever since, i.e. was in the Bahamahs for like 3 months this year. Anyways, he just bought (went in on) a yaht in Maryland and has to go away for 2 months to work on it and get it sea ready to boat back to the Keys. He has an all expense paid place in Key Largo and wants me to babysit it for the next 2 months. You can see the ocean from this place and it comes with a small boat too.. I just have to come up with food money and I can chill.

Im going to call him up tomorrow and work out travel/living expenses, and prolly going to try and leave within a month here (if not sooner).

I'll def. hit you up, cause this **** is on the reals and is VERY possible!

Re: New bike for me!

Nothin if you know somebody like me. lol. Getting a salvage bike turned into a blue title (clean title) is alot of paperwork and alot of run around. Most people would rather pay the extra cheese for a clean title bike.
