This thread is fun....

I took 10 bikes up to Barber to sell ,..... Or not sell based on my prices...   See,   I told the spouse/significant other that I was going to try and sell some of my bikes....  and I did....

So while we were there.... we peddled 3... The F650 BMW... a CB360T...and my 250 Tiger Cub...  Each of which I played with while we were there....  ( and I was really glad to be done with them )

Anyway.... While we were chatting with the crowd and tire kickers... I was working on the scooters.... the one I really wanted to sell was my Z1 900 Kawasaki.... it's a 1974 Early model Z1 with a significant number of upgrades using Z1R parts... Dual front disc's ,  Rear disc and Cast wheels..... oh and 1000cc barrels....   Anyway.... I actually got it running pretty good.... took a bit but I got it running REALLY well after a while...  So... after then best offer of 1800... I decided to bring it home... I've not looked back even a minute.... the bike has been Great...  Hauls too levels of ass and is Very Stable on the road...  nice junk....   I'm glad it's back in the Garage running well....  Think I'll keep it this way.....

Fun to find something in your garage that you truly like....

Anybody see the segment on the ABC news about the kid in the wheelchair, that uses it like a skateboard? He has done a double back-flip. I thought it was awesome!!!

i remember seeing a video on youtube about him. that kid is awesome.

Thats one of the great secrets of life, wanting what you have and not trying to have what you want.
Right?  You're pretty lucky.  ;)

My youngest son, Matt, will be 5 in March. He has Down Syndrome.
I took him for his first ever motorcycle ride on the 350F yesterday ;D
1st/2nd gear laps around the neighborhood as he can barely hold on.
He cried when he had to get off.
