I'm moving to California very soon. Because of this I'm selling a couple more of my bikes ( Read more... )

Damnit, Chuck. Ride that Sabre down to Phoenix and I'll buy it off yah.

Sigh.

Wasn't able to buy the bike I was going to. (Got laid off right after Confusion - working again, but still making up the expenses)

Sigh. I wants a bike, I does.

Think on it and tell me if you're serious. Really.

As a follow up - I was thinking of posting in the Craigslist ad that I would deliver as far west as California. I love riding that bike.

And I can assure you that you know a very solid handful of people who know quite a lot about Honda Sabres. :)

Well, tell me this. I'm 5'4 - average build, not leggy - do you think that I would fit that bike?

Definitely. You get to learn all the dirt. Give me a call if you're interested.

It could use some choke adjustment. I cleaned the carbs but nothing else. It wants to stall at idle without choke.

It needs a new headlight, which I hear is a $30-$50 part ordered. It also needs new turn signal covers. Cosmetically it's very not perfect, but it still looks good.

And it's fun to ride. < big ear-to-ear smile > I had it up to 40mph earlier today. :)

Yay for friend networking! :)

I'm not in a rush. We'll have to figure a way in the next week and a half to get it over to you. I don't want to ride it that far.

...actually, I'll bet it would fit in a trunk.

Do you need a special permit/license to drive the Passport?

And can I set up a payment plan with you that starts in 2012? :)

If wishes were fishes!

"Do you need a special permit/license to drive the Passport?"

It all depends on how legal you want to be. ;)

Is it a moped or a motorcycle? It all depends on how exact with the laws you want to be. If it's a motorcycle, you need safety gear, a license, insurance, etc... If it's a moped I think all you need is a $50 sticker.

Michigan says it's a motorcycle because it's over 50ccs.

I have *no* idea. But I took it out on the street yesterday and was passed by a cop, so I'm guessing either a) I didn't break the law too much, or b) he was to embarrassed to be seen pulling over a moped to bother with me.

Are you keeping one of the bikes for transport here? I'm sure you've noticed how popular they are in this town. :)

Sorry I missed you last time you were in, but it seems like we will all have a chance to catch up soon!

I own one more bike, and I'd really like to ride it out. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to. It needs an engine rebuild and I'm not sure if I'm going to have to time to do that before coming out.

I hope I can. I'd *really* like to ride out. Three days of quiet road does me worlds of good.
