well, it snowed.
Yippie Kai yay.

Ironically enuff on the 1st day it snows, i also buy a motorcycle. such is the way of life.

Would anyone here with a small trailer, large mini-van, or pickup truck be able to help me pick it up from Motoretta in Toronto to my friend's storage in Whitby?

Will compensate for time/gas in the form of $ or

thanks!

Sorry Omar, got your message. No Pickup Truck. Why put it at a buddys storage? Just put it behind the Porsche at home. What did you pick up?

Omar, grats on your new scooter though you didn't strike me as being the type.
I'm not thinking it will make you babe magnet however...

Black on black eh, that's damn sweet. I don't have the stones to ride those kind of machines anymore. (they are in my wife's purse, safe and sound).

Omar, the trick is to take off the windshield and use Ratchet tide downs to compress the front shocks. A really sweet ride. I had a chance to track one a little while back. A very well behaved bike with plenty of race pedigree. Massive brakes too! The only problem is that it's short on HP compare to some of the Jap. Rockets. A pair of sweet pipes will make up for the lack of HP. Sweet.....

thanks for the offer jim.

We'll be cuttin 'er close.

Dry weight: 189.0 kg (416.7 pounds)
Seat height: 810 mm (31.9 inches) If adjustable, lowest setting.
Overall height: 1,130 mm (44.5 inches)
Overall length: 2,035 mm (80.1 inches)
Overall width: 730 mm (28.7 inches)
Wheelbase: 1,418 mm (55.8 inches)

Albert is right tho, i could always take the front nose fairing off. I'd hate to pull you all the way from out west to whitby tho. Will try to find a local alternative and keep your offer as a last resort.

thanks!
