Kay found herself a Savage.
08/13/08 at 17:41:11

It's a 2005, pearl white in color, with 2500 or so miles on it. Comes with the OEM windshield and "Saddleman" saddle bags. I haven't even seen it yet. She called me on the phone at work to tell me about it. I guess the guy will have the title all signed tomorrow, so she'll pay the man and bring home her new baby then.

It's pretty cool how it happened. She sold her bike yesterday. The nearest Savage on Craigslist was in Boise, Idaho, which is 500+ miles from here. Kay decided that was too far to ride pillion on my bike, so that was a no go. Feisty Limited spotted this one sitting next to the road in town with a "for sale" sign and called Kay up.

I hope I have all my facts straight. I was dodging heavy equipment while she told me about it on the phone. Anyway, YAHOO! Now we'll be able to travel together at a little more efficient pace, hopefully.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow after work.

Reply #2 - 08/13/08 at 18:46:15 Oh, I doubt there will be any "might" needed in that sentence. Like I said, I haven't seen it, but I know my girl. She wouldn't buy something as "serviceable" as my bike.

So..... what has Kay picked as a screen name???? Cheesy

Here's some idea's
Sandy's Boss
Sandy's Better Half

Boss
Better Half

The "B" sounds good after "Sandy's," doesn't it? Hmmm... What is the proper biker vernacular for a man's woman? I can't quite nail it down right now. Oh well. We'll think of something.

She's going to whack me with a heavy object if she reads what I just said. Then she can go by "Sandy's Widow." Grin

Me too! That's exactly the bike I just bought, love the pearl white. Just added a Thumper decal to the tank

Had a 1995 Savage a couple of years ago, felt I had to trade up to the S50. Never was confidant on it so I wasn't riding much. Last month I saw this S40 for sale, bought it, love it and I am riding everyday.
Sold the S50. I am a happy rider again!

Here it is folks... Kay's new bike. It's getting rave reviews already. Such as "I got it up to 65 with no problem, even on the big hill by the cross!" The old GZ250 wasn't cutting it in the hill department. You ought to see the grin on Kay's face.

The front tire is a little cracked, so it'll have to go. It's a shame, because the tread looks brand new. The P.O. dropped some swimming trunks on the muffler, so a little Eazy-Off is in order. Other than that, it looks great. Can't hear the valves, so I'll probably open it up this weekend and look those over. It never had its initial service.

With Kay, Feisty Limited, and her husband all bringing home new Savages lately, it might be time for the first annual LittleBird Maintenance Festival right here in my yard. A little game of "torque and feeler," as it were.

Or hide behind a corner with your camera when she decides she wants to go for a ride, and snap a pic as she is settling onto it. Wink

Nice looking by the way.
