Isn't that a pic of your bike on your avatar?

Also:  you are selling the wrong child

I was just telling someone the story about me in high school being in the weird position of choosing between the hot girl that wanted to go out with me, and the only slightly less hot girl that wanted to go out with me.  Now, reason tells the right choice to make here, and going out with the slightly less hot girl would have no doubt resulted in a nice lenghty relationship that would have been rewarding, full of life lessons and personal growth.  But no, I went out with extra hot one, and it barely hit the two week mark.

Of course, my wife is one of those rare exceptions where I chose the hot one AND it worked out.  But, as many of you know, it ain't easy.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is keep the 999, ditch the "other" bike, and look up my almost-ex girlfriend from high school.  Trust me.

If you don't take my advice, that's cool too, but pull your Termis and sell them to me on the side.  I won't tell Red, I promise

I say sell the ugly one and keep the 1098......

Don't worry, My eyes are shut wide open. I didn't see that. Lots of pretty faces out there.

If it's so pretty, why is yours for sale?

well patrick, that's quite simple.

Just because a man admires beauty, doesn't mean he can afford to keep her.

I have Joe the Plumber's salary with 4 bikes and 4 kids.  I could afford to buy it, but not sure I can afford to own it.

I thought Joe the plumber earned $250K and that's why his taxes were going up or did I miss half of the BS.

BS yes, O thinks that small businesses don't make over 250k/yr so they won't be hurt when raises taxes for everybody who makes 250k/yr. or more. Now, in the U. S. the "rich" compromise about 5% of the total population. WSJ says that 40% of all Americans don't  pay taxes. Out of the remaining 55% those who actually do pay taxes would amount to about 40%. So if one does the math correctly you can see that of what O says only about 40% of gainfully employed persons in the U. S. will get a "tax break" not 95% like he's saying. Does this make sense?

Sorry JM, I think this is called thread jacking.

Tommy, have you considered selling one of the kids to keep the bikes? I tried that with Colin but the word is out on the street that he's not self motivated and doesn't pick up his room or make his bed without heavy handed supervision. That kills the out the door price on kids instantly. The haggling is not worth it, especially in this market and the way the economy is. But since he is actually titled under a different name it luckily hasn't effected my bike situation... at least not yet. Thought I'd try to move him before he gets many more miles... those teenage, 12,000 mile services are murder on the pocketbook.

12,000 mile services ?    I'm worried about the $12,000 bail      

And damn it, Svoloch, McCain said if I'd put in a "good word" on the board about his 999, he'd give ME the Termis so, go bump a stump

lets keep the PM to a minimum until I have the details of the bikes up please, I'd hate for all ya'll be waiting on my response when im so busy!

James

PM's to a minimum, only if you promise to NOT post the details in the Bikes For Sale forum until your comrades in DFWM have had a look/shot at the bike first. 

hmmm, too bad it's not yellow... 

I have a history of buying bikes that need work (actually, of not running at all)....

I'd be interested in the details as well
