Well guys and gals, I'm no longer part of your club. I raise my glass to all of you. This site has all the camaraderie of my group of buddies here at home, and I've only ever met two members of BA.com, yet I feel that I know many of you personally.
This site has helped me get through college (at 2 am when I needed a distraction), I shared the arrival of my son, and now my daughter in June.
I've been the benefactor of lots of good advice, lots of good deals, and even some free stuff.
I'll be posting some of my stuff that I kept when the Speedie went away. I'll try to remember what was gifted to me and return the favors.
If you are curious, I ended up with a Bandit 1200. I got one with 8k on it for an even trade on the SM, plus the usual title fees and such. We both think we got a great deal.
The bikes are worlds apart, and the B12 fits my needs. I put a couple hundred miles on it and no back pain- yea! Although the Zook, has a lot of things that I like (pipe, air box kit, timing advancer- sound familiar?) it will never have the history or the soul of the speedy. I did the right thing- I took the Speedy to her new home and said good bye. I'll miss that bike.
I wish all of you the best. I'll pop in occasionally and say hello, offer some marginal advice, get a grin from the happenings in all ya'lls lives. Be safe and take care of one another.
Bryan Jennings
