I finally got the sportbike out of storage and I'd like to get some time in this weekend. I have class all day Saturday and have a Caps game Sunday afternoon so I'll probably do a loop somewhere in Loudoun Co from 10am-1pm. I don't really even know who has a running street bike at this point but I thought I'd throw it out there. Chime in if you're interested and we can work out a meet up.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
I'd be down assuming I'm not exhausted from moving on Sat.
Keep planning these. I will eventually get the motivation to get back out there be it sell the pile as it sits and get something easier/cheaper to repair or fix the fucking thing.

i'll help you find the parts if you'll come out for a ride
ps - i'd come out for this, but i'm teaching my younger cousin to drive stick (hopefully instilling a good motoring nature in this kid)

i'll help you find the parts
i do have a list. they don't exist except for shiny and new from bikebandit. the subtotal is $651. after that, i need a windscreen, but i know where to get that. then i need new tires. and a new helmet. it's just a matter of wanting to plop down over a grand on the thing.

well i'll be damned. stumbled over to the vfr forum and some guy just yesterday posted up a lot of stuff i needed for dirty cheap! i'll admit i haven't been looking hard for six months or so now, but for a solid year nothing like this was ever posted.
if i get what he has, i'm looking at a much cheaper repair bill. tires, helmet, windscreen, and a bunch of little screws are all i'll really need.
oh and then i have to get it running. despite being on a charger all winter, apparently the battery died. fucking thing.

it's not the loss that bugs me, it's the not finishing something.
