I'd like to see it stay around here....I've taken VERY good care of it maintenance wise and cosmetically , always garage kept. I think it might even have some kind of historic value at this point too. You or someone interested can call me on my cell

 

That bike DESERVES a good home. No one.... I mean NO ONE has taken better care of their bike..... ever! :YEAH I have his cell, feel free to email me or PM.

 

trade for half a TLR?

 

who's bike did he faceplant on a few years ago? down 9th st?

 

It is also with a heavy heart that I am selling my bike It's been a great run, but it's time for the cowbike to find another pasture. I've done everything from to needing and I almost don't want to sell it, but I think it's time. There's no doubt about it, that thing is super . I will post pics later this week, I should have made it like this a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg time ago. I'm looking at it now thinking.... :YEAH

The final stats are as follows:

Year: 1997 (Bought new in 2000)
Make: Suzuki (duh, as if there were anything else) GSXR 750
Mileage: 24995 with complete factory overhaul under warranty @ 22800
Title: Clear
Frame: Straight except for that little steering damper peg (slightly bent)

I finally decided that my heart was with some speed (read:gixxer thou), so a few months back I sold it and am just finishing up with how the customer wants it to look.

Attached is a picture of it just a few weeks after I purchased it, about May of 2000

 

Mr Juls I think....... 2000 blk/yel gix 750... I think.....

 

yeah i rememebered as soon as i made the post

 

Yeah, that was the one.......I was leading that one out, needless to say I wasn't happy about it, but I had a feeling earlier that night that someone was going down. I hate those feelings.

 

Well, we've got MaxSpeed and CowbikeMike as recent legends..... does anyone have any pics of Trent on his $30,000 RR or that purple R1 he had? Or anything/anyone else?

 

What kind of bike does MaxSpeed have anyway? Or do you just get all those mods, and you will throw in a free bike with it?

 

lol...you never met or seen Maxspeed's bike??? I'm surprise there is not a statue of him at the hill!

ps wherez has that cowbike mike been hiding...planting season??? don't let me leave town w/o saying goodbye

 

Ive prolly seen him, just dont know who he is.

 

So, you leaving without saying anything to the rest of us? Whatever will I do without those 3:30am cab/bike rides for the inebriated?




Best of luck, wherever you go, and maybe I’ll run into you before you jet, for a .

 

ya you have you floorjack he's has/had that sick black/red superhawk that i was about to hump one afternoon.

btw Erik, i distinctly remember when he wrecked, dont remember who all was there but there was 3 of us waaay up front down 9th and then everybody else behind us. looking back.. wtf are they doing.. aw damn.

 

Are you kidding?! Before bling was a word, that superhawk 996 was IT! Toolkit in the trunk?, maybe, but always a terrycloth and some wax/polish. Chris is one of the few originals still left. I'm really suprised at his decision to sell this..... One would have thought a loss of limb would be less painful.

 

I guess I don't know how to spell it, but BOOOOYAAHHHHH!

 

....and some more

 

....this is it....

 

BTW, That's diamond plate vinyl graphic over what I believe to be 'John Deere' yellow......hehehehehe, at least thats the color I used on the front rim.

 

All these silly farmers are coming in to AGROKEY and wanting Fertilizer and stuff..... sheesh! Who would have thought?!

Let me know a good time to meet up, I'm still pretty busy cranking out GSXR's when I'm not BAJAing my Floater....

Oh, and I guess you will still be around for my birthday, so I guess you could get me something....... We'll probably have another b-day cookout, so hope to see you there.
