Shit man...that's what I do!
And yea, these tires are fucking toast. Someone finished the rear off with a nice burnout.

If you have to do any serious surgery let me know. I'm 3 hours from you and I'm always down for tearing shit apart!

Congrats on the sale.

Looks like a trip to Nice Cycle is in order. Tons of sets that would match the red tank...

Nah, I have all the plastics, just haven't put them on yet.


Picked up a computer at the local cycle salvage, plugged it in....wouldn't start. Did some internet research and decided to bypass the tip sensor (bank sensor). VROOOOOOOM...fired right up despite how long its been sitting. Runs like a fucking champ, like its ready to win a race.

Replaced the brake pads, rear rotor is shot, but the fronts are in good shape. Took off on a lil' test ride despite the shitty tires and lack of registration....man, these fuckin bikes are fast. Not sure if its faster than my FZ1 was, but it feels like it. 85 in a 40 happened real quick.

All I need now is tires and paperwork and I'll be ready to rock. Can't believe I picked up a bike this badass for $1,600. Pretty sure I got the deal of the year...

Yeah, but what he needs is somebody who's always down for putting shit back together.

So the dude sends off the ecm and didn't ask for it back? I bet the other guy laughed his ass off when he turned around and sold it.

Either that or the real story was more like "I wrecked my bike and now it won't run but I don't wanna say that so...um...its the ECM" and he just pulled it to make it seem like an easy fix. I dunno, it wasn't that hard to find out about the tip sensor, that was pretty much the #1 recommended thing to try.

All I know is that this thing was a steal...unless I'm missing something...
