 I just bought my son his first bike (a delayed college graduation gift)



The guy I bought it off, even delivered it to my work [thumbsup]
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Why'd you let IZ take the picture?  ???

that's my cheapie cell camera pic. I'll take a few with lms camera tonight.

The thing only has 5500 miles on it. Everything works. It fired right up after sitting for months.

one tiny tear in the seat. no fork seal leaks, no oil leaks. the front tire is a lil weather cracked. it has a few scrapes and scratches, but no dents or dings. he gave me a new set of rear brakes (the ones that are on it squeak)

chain looks new, no wear marks on the front and rear sprocket.

all the electrical works.

I'm gonna replace the hand grips, change the fluids, check out front tire prices...and she be done.

You'd better put it through an extensive battery of riding tests as well.   [thumbsup]

Cause uhh, giving it as a gift without ummm, verifying its safety would be wrong.

Yeah, that's it.   ;D

Someone needs to tow that thing away for parking in Ducati reserved space.
I can be there right away to remove that hooligan bike from holy ground. ;D

Nice bike though. [thumbsup]
I've put in some miles on the exact same bike and always had a grin on my face!
Your son will love it. They are great commuters as well.

Lucky kid, great dad!

there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.
