Out-the-door for $4,000 even. Before fees, etc, just under $3,500.

My goal this time is to not crash it-- twice-- like I did with my first one.

I really ought to try selling the SV again... no need for two liter-bikes in the same garage... but they sure do look nice sitting next to one another...

Good price Eric. Is it blue?

I haven't taken any photos of the "new" one, but it looks just like my first one (minus the tail cowl, which has become almost impossible to find):

I'm not going to mess with it much. A fender eliminator, a tail cowl if I can find one, and maybe an exhaust with a new tune. I'll be swapping out all the old fluids, of course, and probably a fork rebuild over the winter, but nothing more unless something breaks/leaks.

Tail cowls FTW! Bikes should come with them.

SB300...which is a mod to the wiring harness from the alternator (probably what caused your bike to stop working)
SB312...this is just for a different spark plug spanner
SB350...this is to change connectors from plastic to metal from the fuel lines to the fuel tank.

I got my bike back, but according to Triumph's website it still has outstanding recalls. Is there a delay in the system or did they not do the work they said they did? Supposedly, the recall-related work was done about two weeks ago.

That sucks man.

And Fuck You for finding a $138 ticket to Chicago. It's always $400+RT whenever I have to fly out there.

Orbitz.com is your friend.

I always do Kayak which I think uses Orbitz. I've also heard that flying into/out of Atlanta is pretty expensive compared to other airports (I don't know wether that is true or not). I really hope they expand the Lawrenceville Airport for commercial flight. Hell a flight from Atlanta to Savannah costs more than a trip to California with Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta-(insert other politician name)-Airport.

Also sweet bike. I love the 955s!

I hate that freakin' airport
