Well guys and gals, it finaly hit the auction. Now to see if it goes low enough to buy back and fix, our just sell for parts? Here are some pics of the beast, they didn't even clean off the blood and guts? Hopefully it keeps the price down! ;D

**** dude, still sucks to see your bike like that. They could have at least cleaned it up...lol... If you get it back and decide to part it out, let me know.

 

[straightjacket]

I'll LUK for sure if I part it out. It was great to get one last ride in with ya! I hope things work out well for ya in SC. keep in touch!!!

 

[Mr monte]

Hopefully you can get your beast back. How does the frame look?

 

[wyntress]

****... I hope you are ok!!! And also to be able to get your bike back!

So Straightjacket, if you are thinking of buying it back, you must be planning on Having a Stryker again? If it was me I would buy it back if I could get it cheap enough just to use the engine to put a cam, bore it etc. and have a Stryker to swap the motor when it was ready. ;D Fun in the sun.
Hope your healing up good my friend. I'm going on three weeks from my neck surgery and all is well. Get my brace of in 3 more weeks and hopefully back on my bike in 6 or 7 weeks from now.

it's good that they haven't cleaned it up...will increase your chances of buying it back for cheap.

on a side note that thing must stink will all those old guts on it!

 

[straightjacket]

Nice Toby! I'm glad your on your way back to the bike. When you get back on LMK and well go for a ride. Hopefully the surgery will keep you off your bike in the snow!
I'm doing better every day, and was able to get out this weekend and put some miles on the replacement bike! We had a beautiful weekend and I logged in about 230mi. and hit the Willits toy run! As far as frame damage goes??? It's very hard to tell without tearing down the bike. I could go and try to preview it, but with the covers it's still hard to tell? I think if I can pick it up cheap enough for parts would be the only way? If the frame was bent I could cut the headtube out and do my first frame? Oooh a ridged!!! ;D That would be BadA$$! This is the replacement for now. Still trying to figure out if it's what I want?

 

[straightjacket]

Ya Skwerlee, it would have to get pressure washed for sure!
The X looks a lot better stripped down! Ive already taken off the back seat and gone solo with it,the sissy bar,sold the radio system"not my thing",and pulled the windshield. Now to figure out the rest.

 

[kraaazymike]

I just keep thinking of all the elbow grease that it's going to need to clean all that junk off if you get it back. Good luck, man! I'm glad you're back on the saddle.

Straightjacket, great to hear your riding again. As soon as I get the green light from the doc we will be down on our bikes to see you as long as the weather allows it. Some tines in January and February we get warm enough weather to ride. Already put the horses out to pasture down there for the winter. So even if when we go check on them we aren't on the bikes we will stop in and say hi. What kind of bike did you get?

 

[straightjacket]

Toby - I got an 02'VTX1800C, to ride and see how I do back on the bike? I also picked up an 04'883C to fix up and hopefully turn for a couple bucks. I got the X at a good price so if I want to change bikes I should be able to get my money back. They both have about 14,000mi. so are in pretty good shape mechanicaly.

Yes, it is great to hear you are back to riding again.

 

[straightjacket]

Man do I feel like a bonehead! Got sidetracked today with disability paperwork and calls and by the time I realized what day it was, I missed the **** auction! The last time I checked it out it was at $375 and it hadn't even hit the auction soo? It's gone! I guess it had bad Juju for me anyway? Wish I knew what it went for, maybe not?

 

[kraaazymike]

AWW MAN!!!! That's a bummer!
