Title: Adios Bandito
Post by: B6Matt on July 10, 2005, 03:10:44 PM

:crybaby: The deal has been struck and I'm selling the Bandit tomorrow to a youngster (he's 16, second bike, currently riding a Ninja 250).  

I hope you guys will continue to embrace me (figuratively, Pete) as one of the gang.  You let Lynn come by on his Busa; SpeedTriple, etc. all are welcomed, with only moderate harassment.  Seriously, this is a great group of folks without the typical BBS arseholes to endure.

Now I'm looking for the next bike.  I'll be getting another sport standard, maybe an FZ1.  A Bandit 1200 is a possibility too.

Matt, Why sell your bike without another one on the line? Are you going to buy New? GOOD LUCK!!

It's a chicken or the egg thing.

Actually, I had been thinking about moving up from the B6 and somebody posted on a local BBS that they were looking for one (a B6 or SV).  I threw my hat in the ring and he bought it for what I was asking.

I think I have my replacement already. :motorsmile:

I noticed that over at ETR the other day matt... traitor J/K :stickpoke:   I would rock an fz1, and I may just do that next year. You could just trade him and you could rock the two fiddy for awhile lol

I rode that two fiddy and, believe it or not, something like that would be a freakin' blast on the Dragon.  Sooooo lightweight and you sit low to the ground.  Just not a whole lot of zip from the motor.  Now I know why Rob and others like their B4s so much.

The youngster had a little spill on the twofiddy and the fairing was riveted together. :shock:  

I found an FZ1 too, so I won't be bikeless for long.
