[the chi]

Before I can reasonably offer any advice or assistance, I first need to ask you this:

Did you ever actually ride the 500 before selling it? More than around the block or so?

Not trying to get your back up, I ask only because last year when you bought it you yourself stated you were selling it after only a few months because you never rode it, never had time, and didnt foresee having that time and being able to anytime in the near future...and since we havent heard much from you till recently I wasnt sure what you had been up to lately as far as learning to ride and such and before I would offer any tips or help its usually much more helpful to know skill levels and ability.
