You ever thought about contacting Honda about how many miles you put on this bike and had to do minimal repairs? I'm sure they'd like to hear it.

You can grab very clean 5th-gen VFRs for $3~4.5 grand all day long still.... gear driven cams, sounds sweet, capable, and comfy all day long.... advrider/fleamarket/bikes/....

Sorry to hear the news Jared. I'm sure you will figure something out.

Blackbird. The carb ones go for $3K around here, with the FI ones around $4K. Still a CBR, but smoother, faster and way more comfortable.

Or you could just buy my F4i and keep on trucking...

Well just a quick update...

I (finally) made some good progress today!

Beginning

Then...

Rafters and ratchet straps to the rescue

Oh and milk crates too

Success!

She's dirrrrty

Poor thing

But, this was the biggest part of the job that I needed to get done, so it definitely won't be long now! Gonna take it down to my buddies in Greenville, SC next weekend and he'll be able to tell me if it's salvageable or not, and we'll go from there. Either way, I should be back on the road again here soon!

Normally I would be very impressed... but knowing that your a mechanic... I'll just give you a good "atta boy".

racedoll · 02-21-2010, 08:36 PM

Good start Jared. I hope you get good news from your friend.. fingers crossed for you.

If the engine is a no go, but you want to keep the frame then I recommend going ahead and replacing anything rubber.

Maybe a tiny patch of ice was on the road?

I came back one night to my joint and took the corner nice & easy. Suddenly the bike slipped out under me. Luckily I gunned the throttle a but and bounced my left leg on the ground (not a good thing to do with a near 600-lbs bike) and kept it up. I stopped, traced back and found just a cunt's hair worth of fucking ice right where I hit it.
