    I let the guy with the 900 stew for while now, no messages back (told him to to keep me posted is she went as I needed to raise the funds)

    It will need new tires and car cleaning for sure, tank does has a small hole in the rear.... so I'll be offering quite a bit less than asking ( which shouldn't be a problem as a couple of running 650's have been posted recently for less)

    I guess the biggest question is, how will she fair as a daily commuter?
    Used to my 390 lb baby max in stop and go, just wondering how they feel around town being an extra 100lbs + ?

    I did do a test ride on a 650 which did feel great other than the under inflated tires.

    Main focus now is fixing up my old Honda scoot to sell to raise the cash for an offer, then finding the happy spot.

    Kinda torn between this and a newere get on and ride bike.
    But 1) funds are tight atm
    and 2) Theres that satisfying feeling of putting something back together and making it yours
    And since I have the baby max running pretty good, I don't have to worry about having it going right away, luxury of time to get it all done right.

    Practice leaning forwards and hanging on. And scanning for Officers.

    hehe, enablers :)

    Been scanning and reading lots of info, and everything points to a good all rounder, + the feeling of owning something not so common :)

    So now it's down to raising the cash and beating him down on the price so I can start working on it this one's gonna take some time as I want to try for a Wiz quality restore

    Getting a bit head of myself yet, need to get her here to start
