| Story: |
The last bike I owned was a
Honda NX250 several years ago. I was searching for a
cruiser but had no idea what I wanted. I wanted
something unique. I had looked at a Yamaha 850
triple. It was modified and what plenty fast but the
seat height was a little high. I was poking around
on the web early last summer and found this site. I
liked the looks of the super immediately. The more I
read the more I knew this was it. I got serious
about finding one and commenced the search. I live
in Richmond, VA and couldn't find one locally. I
wanted a black or blue one. I started looking out of
state on cycle trader and eBay. I bid on a blue one
in Michigan with 13,500 miles on it and won the
auction. $500 in packing and shipping later it
arrived at the Forward Air freight terminal in
Richmond on the Friday before Labor Day. My buddy,
Billy, in the picture on his former VLX600 (he now
has a new Suzuki Volusia 800) helped me go pick it
up that night. Unfortunately, the keys didn't arrive
until the following Tuesday. My neighbors thought I
looked pretty funny sitting on the bike in the
garage over the long weekend waiting for the FedEx
truck. Since taking the picture I have replaced the
seat covers with Saddleman's replacement covers and
am extremely happy with them. I also added a Memphis
Shades Hellcat windscreen which works well and looks
pretty good for a windscreen. I still like the naked
look best. I've ordered some parts from Parts fish
and am waiting for them to arrive. The bike starts
right up and runs great! I love it. |
