Wanted to share the story of how I acquired my ride. I went to look at a 2002 TBA red in color back in 02. I just couldn't bring myself to finance it for long payments so I went home feeling a little dejected. Forward to March of 08. My wife came home (she is a nurse) and said one of her nurse friends mentioned a motorcycle she had under a tarp at home and thought I might be interested. The story she told was very sad. Her husband had bought this motorcycle and it was the love of his life. He rode it a short time and then one day he began to feel bad and went to the doctor. Lo & behold he had lung cancer and died 2 months later. The bike had been under the tarp ever since. Well I went to look at it expecting a cheap jap bike. When I lifted the tarp my blood ran cold and my pulse quickened. Believe it or not, there set a 2002 TBA in absolutely perfect shape with only 1900 miles on it. It was even red! I tried to contain myself as I calmly asked how much she was asking. She said if I would take care of it and love it like her husband had I could have it for 3600 bucks. I returned that night and bought it for 3000 even. I know this story was long but I wanted to share it with you guys. End of the story is, that it is everything I thought it would be. Everywhere I go people stop and stare and ask about it. I have had many rides over the years but I have now found my calling. [url=
