Idiot of the Week

I'll bet nobody has done anything sillier than this recently. I have a perfectly good XJ900F. It is my main means of transport. Guess what I bought today? A perfectly good XJ900N to keep it company!
I mean, what was I thinking?

No, sorry, the word "thinking" has no place in this post.

Please, somebody else write in and tell me they've got more than one of the same bike (and that they live outside an institution).

 

I'm an idiot too! I've had my MaximX for about 15 yrs and last summer I bought anothere one! It'd beed sitting in someone's backyard for three yrs and it's definitely a fixer-upper. If I finally get off my a$$ and get it running in the spring it'll the GF's bike.

Oh... I also picked up a couple of XJ650's (1 Maxim, 1 Seca), mostly in plastic bins, to cobble together.

 

Nope, it's just you. Hold still and we'll be right over to fit you for your straightjacket.

 

Three xj's here (two for parts) ... but I need more!more!more! ahhhhh

 

So long as you have fewer than Robert you're ok.

 

ah but Big Ross, you don't have 2 of the same bikes ones a 900F and the other is a 900N, so see your okay.

 

i have 5 now need to stop drinking LOL

 

At 1 time i had 6. I pick them up for pennys when i was done with them i had 5 runing and a bin of parts. I sold them all 2 friends that wanted a starter bike for a few 100$ now im kicking my self cause I miss them all like there were my childeren.

 

Well, send one of those down here to SoCal, would ya?

 

I have an 82 Seca and I got a 650 Maxim for a parts bike. I wasn't sure if any of the parts would fit (or if I would be needing any of them) It came in handy for parts after all. It's nice to have extra parts (starter, stator, etc) but in your case, if the second bikes in good shape...chop it!!! Then you'll have the best of both worlds.

 

I've got two x's (one is a fixer/seller) and a xj700 that just needs a harness and needs to go

 

I`ve got eight Seca 900`s. Two are licensed and insured, they rest are in various stages of rebuilding.

 

Q: What's better than a Yamaha XJ900?
A: Two XJ900's!

 

i will soon have another 650xj, just a diffrent color. one red and one black.

 

Thank you guys. You have made me feel much better! Now, if only I could get some new valves for the radio in my head that tells me to do these things!

 

You think that's stupid....

I've got 5 650's in boxes up for sale and I'll be lucky if I get $1500NZD for it :cry:

 

Take a look at this and tell me you could have left this little orphan alone and crying by the side of the road.

 

I'd take that home in a heartbeat!

 

I want that bike!!! It is just beautiful.

Dave

 

Very Nice Indeed!

 

Hey Big - nice ride and you are right. How could you leave that sweet little thing?

Just how many orphans are there and just how deep are your pockets? Sounds like Aussie XJ's are like cute stray cats. Once you start you can't stop. Doesn't make you crazy; it means you have a lot of love to spread around.
