I went and did something stupid.
Found a guy selling a 98 bandit 600 for a little over what would be 1000 USD in decent shape.
I would usually ask to have them keep the bike cold when i show up to look at it, but this time it was warm ok *small nervous laugh*.... the rear brake fluid revivor is empty, ok.... what's a rear brake cyl rebuild?..... blown shifter shaft seal..... pft 20 min of work......blinkers don't work,... hell i have a voltmeter, no biggie...... and next day cyl 1-2 are not firing..... eh, i need to now rebuild the fuel system...... *nervous laugh* its ok, how many times have you rebuilt the hawks and buel carbs, what is another 4 in a row.... *more nervous laughing* wife is looking at me with smirk of, *found new excuse to not let you buy any more new toys*
but hell she sure as hell looks good standing still waiting for parts to arrive haha.
