D*mn... Savage_Rob's got ESP or sumethin.....
Went and look at it again today. Just like the owner said - he got it running. It was running and in the driveway when I got there. I asked him if it started well when warm. He shut it off, and started it right up again.
There's more gold on the exhaust than I could see when it was in the barn.
So here's the specs:
2002 Savage.
2900 miles
Windsheild
Saddlebags
bike cover
$2,400
Oh - and the specs on me:
35, wife, 2 small kids.
0 riding miles under my a$$
Dad used to take me for rides on his '75 Honda CB750 all the time when I was a kid. It was the only way to get to soccer practice! He just traded a Harley sportster 1200 for a GoldWing.
I'm taking the MSF Beginning rider course this weekend. A new bike aquaintance is going with me to pick the bike up in his trailer next weekend.
I'm thinking of holding off on the carb & exhaust mods until this winter. They say most bike accidents by newbies occur because they lose control of the bike. Apparently many of these accidents happen on bikes with more gumption than a newbie should be on in the first place.
I figure I'll keep it underpowered until my riding improves. Then I'll just improve the bike instead of trading for something else.
Not bad for a days work. 8)
