    I couldn't see the luggage rack past the front guard being too big for the wheel.

    Maybe I'm just unusually sensitive to that shit.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    You should paint your rocker covers a stupid colour & sign them, then we could ask crazy money for our bikes you built the engines on.

    I think Gordy's CBR had six Slick Bass signatures on it - and the guy who'd ported the head had signed and numbered it too.
    I suspect an engraving tool is the first thing some guys buy....

    I do like how Wallace warns that its been heavily modified and to not fuck with it if you don't know what you are doing on the cover. I don't know what I am doing so I will heed his advice.

    Seems stupid money is the go for buckets these days regardless of what engine is strapped to it.

    It depends on what you are trying to achieve and what your build skill level is.
    Try building a good reliable race winner for less.

    It really does look like it came from a carnival as a fun ride. Except I can't imagine that would be anything other than inconvenient and certainly not fun.

    Is Slick Bass Earl Slick's brother?

    did they ever play in the same band? Earl is one of my favourite guitarists of all time.

    This one I thought was amusing too.

    well the other day the wife was poking around my credit card statement, and said " Motel 6 St. Louis ?!!- what the hell were you doing in st louis !?!!!- and dinner for two ?!! "
    I said well um remember that lady from there at the scuba show ...?
    she interrupted me and said " Dont give me that another girl bullshit !!! you bought another @#$%&* motorcycle didn't you !?!!! " busted, im in the doghouse big time. now she says sell most of them . of course its immaterial it was a great deal too. sheeesh.

    Gotta sell.

    So the time has come. Gotta sell the bike as changes after redundancy mean I just can't afford to keep it as a garage decoration. (Got the company bike for the daily commute so I can't use "I need it for work" as an excuse to keep it.)

    About to advertise it on Trade Me but I've copied the advert here too. Really struggled with setting a price. It was hard to get a price that I was comfortable enough to let it go at considering it's condition but also comfortable that I wasn't being stupidly optimistic.

    I'd appreciate anyone having a look and giving me an opinion as to the price I set. Be honest. https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/s...post1131114815

    Doesn't seem totally unrealistic if you expect to get talked down a monkey. I'm not sure what value a monkey is I'd guess 5hundy.
    It is 12 yrs old with a bunch of Ks and not a GSXR (read, more people will be searching for one), so might have to see what the market bares out.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
