She's Gone
« on: July 01, 2006, 11:27:14 PM »
:sad:

Sorry for quoting Hall and Oates.

I trailered the B4 to her new owner in Baltimore this morning.  Kinda sad.

Here's her replacement.  It's a 98 F3 with all the goodies - low miles, Penske shock, racetech forks, V&H full system, case covers, rearsets, steering damper, braided lines, soon a brembo master cylinder...  Not a beauty queen but should get me around the track.

Well, commuting to work on the bike is now out of the question.  :stickpoke:

Sorry to see you get rid of the B4, but this new one IS a better track weapon and if that's what scratches you itch, sounds like it's a good move so...

 :congrats: on the new ride!  :motorsmile:

Thanks guys!   :bigok:

Yeah, I'll miss the street.  I do intend to get another street bike in the next year or so.  A naked 1G B12 would fit my needs nicely.

Damn, I'm itchy!  I haven't actually picked up the new one yet.  That's the current owner's pic.  I get it Thursday.  It'll be on the track 7/15 and 7/16 at BeaveRun near Pittsburgh.  I may not be able to sleep for the next two weeks!

Congrats on the sale.. I always liked your B4..

Im actually in the process of picking up an old B4 to get started on some track riding. Figure it will be better to learn on and a lot less devastating if I wad it up compared to my 12..  :grin:

So... how was the track with the new bike? Got any pictures?

P.S. your bike needs more stickers!
