The shipper is picking it up next week.... I'm getting anxious, to say the least. A forum member over at GS Resources keeps posting pics of his Wes Cooley in locations all around Miami FL, so, when I get mine, I'm going to post pics of mine in the snow and ice, so he can feel sorry for us poor slobs up here in Indiana.....

Or, better yet, plan a trip to Florida with it!

That would be perfect, but I don't think I could ride it all the way to FL, I may not be in any shape to enjoy my time down there.....

It's coming from California, my wife thought we could go out and pick it up... not a bad idea. She's always trying to help out....

Dog, Where is the Cooley. Did the shipper take a wrong turn in Albuquerque

Nice Bugs Bunny impression! Actually, I was going to reveal it later tonight..... it will (should) be here today.

A sick family member and that nagging snowstorm slowed him down. He called Monday night and was there picking up the bike, and was heading this way, stating that he would be at my place sometime today.

It's been a long wait, but well worth it.

I know you can't wait! That's a good looking bike

I've got a #2 341 pipe for my K6 coming from down under. Can't wait for it to get here either, had been looking for a good one at a decent price for about 2 years.

Order up some exhaust gaskets, dhall!

Wow, that's a long ride for that pipe..... +1 on the exhaust gaskets! You know we need pics once it arrives.

Shipper called me earlier today, will be here around 9:00 PM, eastern time!

Here it is...... too cold to take "beauty" shots, but here are some teaser pics:

dhall57 · « **Reply #87 on:** January 15, 2014, 07:41:36 PM »

Looks to be in super condition. Was the bike rode regularly up until the time you bought it? What needs to done to it (if anything) before its ready for the hwy.

honda_dog · « **Reply #88 on:** January 15, 2014, 07:49:34 PM »

Not a thing, all I need is some warm weather and I'm off to the races. Started right up when turned the key. New tires, new brakes, newer V & H exhaust, Stage 1 jetting, etc. It appears to have been well taken care of. Not perfect, but from 2 feet, looks awesome!

Pretty happy, right now. Even the wife likes it.....

dhall57 · « **Reply #89 on:** January 15, 2014, 08:05:36 PM »

Well if the wife likes it, your good to go

Yeah, it was a daily driver for the previous owner.

Since you've got 3 Suzuki's now and the Cooley will be getting most of the attention for a while you might be thinking about thinning out your stable in the future. GS1100E hint, hint

ekpent · « **Reply #94 on:** January 16, 2014, 05:00:12 AM »

That Cooley will get a ton of attention, great bike to ride to shows and get togethers. See your in NE Indiana, South Bend/Elkhart area by chance ?

Actually NW Indiana, up near Fort Wayne. I'm sure it will draw some looks... it really is a cool-looking bike.

I tell you what, you are welcome to come up and take a ride on any of them, anytime you want.

I looked around, last night after the Cooley arrived, I think six is my limit, space-wise, for now. I was thinking of making an offer on the 550F I've been looking at, but I'm not sure where I would put it.

Ok! Looks like a heat wave is expected on Sunday? Only six? You'll need to secure additional shop space!

I can get this kind of abuse, anywhere...lol!

Looks like 33 deg and partly sunny on Sunday. That, combined with the inch of snow we are getting right now, the tons of sand and salt on the roads, should make for great riding....

And six bikes is a lot for me. When do I have time to ride them all?

Oh, and as an aside to dhall57, I think it would be nice if you rotated your Marcia avatars a little more often, we need more Marcia!
