After working with Mike (mikemm03) for the past two weeks, I finally have this pretty little girl sitting in my garage! She just took me on my first ride of many! Thanks to Mike for being such a great guy to deal with and for allowing me to purchase such a beautiful machine! Thanks, Mike!!!

Kodiak89, Glad to hear she arrived in good condition and that you're happy with the purchase. Thank you for the smooth transaction, you were great to work with and I enjoyed your enthusiasm.
Hopefully the bike will bring you many miles of fun.

Congratulations Joe!

Congratulations on your new purchase here, Joe!



Though Mike, I might add here how utterly disgraceful I find it that you sold Joe this otherwise great lookin' bike with that misaligned right fork gaiter!!! For shame Mike, for shame! How can you live with yourself, dude?!

(...btw Joe, how about plannin' on ridin' up here to Sedona soon, and we'll both head up Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff where it's a little cooler this time o' year...sound like a plan?)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

haha, I noticed the gaiter and it has since been fixed.

A little road trip north might be a great way to break in this new purchase, Dwight. I might just take you up on that!

Actually Dwight that was the first thing I noticed in the pic. I was arrrrrgggghh, straighten that up it's bugging the piss outta me

On second look, Joe is the right side mirror missing or that just the camera angle ?

The right side mirror is missing! but it is not the fault of the shippers, haha. I might have been a tad overly aggressive when adjusting at a stop light and I popped it right off, haha. I'll chalk it up to my excitement of finally riding it! Looks like the personal touches are going to start with the side mirrors

Oops, well stuff happens. Look in the classifieds or check out one of our vendors that support the site such as Fast Eddy

I like the blacked out pipes, minimulist on the shiny bits!.

If you enjoy a good brew try the Four Peaks brewery. It can't be too far from you it's in Tempe.
