She's all mine!
08/15/08 at 21:42:45

Well... Actually in my wife's name but you know what I mean.

Did the title transfer this evening and me, my buddy and his girlfriend proceeded to clean her up. He rode it over to his garage and said it runs like he was driving it home from the showroom. We spent 2 hours cleaning and polishing and the bike looks AMAZING now!

(Shown without windshield)

Pictures don't do this bike justice due to the flash and taking them at night. Looks 100 times better in person. The entire bike cleaned up like brand new with exception of the head pipe and the mirrors which are pitted a bit. Anyone know where I can find good deals on both?

Maybe the best $1500 we ever spent! I'm going to have to find a bike for myself eventually after we learn how to ride but I don't think I'll ever approach this deal.

I'm gonna guess it's an '88, just to see if I can get close. Bring your buddy and his girl over to my place, wouldja? My bike never looks that good.

She'll LOVE her surprise. I bought a 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage w/ fireplace once without asking the wife what she thought.. It was a non qualifying assumable & it was jump on it or walk away, or I would have asked, but THAT caused quite a stink. OHH, but when she calmed down, she was SOO happy with what I had done!

Will she be wrenching it in 2 days Like Kay?

HEY! Looks like the brake line has been changed to the stainless wrapped.

Observation #3 - Looks like your available space to motorcycle ratio is about maxed out! Nice.

Reply #10 - 08/16/08 at 16:11:56 My buddy brought the bike over alittle while ago to show the wife and she is very pleased. She saw it when it was filthy and didn't really expect it to clean up like it did. When we were gawking at it in front of the house, someone pulled over and asked if we were selling it! LOL! Now I'm going to have to find me one.

Nice corvette, by the way. Based on the rear fender, spoiler and aero-mirror, I'm guessing early 80's, probably 81-82??
