Folks, I got a good news. I'm finally the proud owner of a bike!

The bad news: it's not a Suzuki

Should I resign my commission?

Poosey · 05-19-2004, 02:28 PM

Maybe, Let's take a vote.

Nah!!

What did ya get man??

**Louis** · 05-19-2004, 06:18 PM

Well, you cannot say that I'm the kind of person who does "Do what I say not what I do".

I got a Kawasaki GPz550, 1984. 65HP@10500RPM. I just couldn't a SV650S for the same price...

49000Km, $680 US ($950 Cdn). Needs a few things to pass safety:
-tires
-front brakes
-fork seals
-battery

On a similar topic, I'm passing my last exam on July 20th! I'll be able to ride after that.

**Uncle Bob** · 05-19-2004, 09:01 PM

I am shocked !

Will have to bring this up at the next board of directors meeting.

BTW Louis, will your wife be serving those little sandwiches in that skimpy outfit again ?.

Of course not Uncle Bob, that was a special occasion, she usually does that in the nude.

Poosey, this meeting is for board directors only. Tough luck!

vol01jim · 05-20-2004, 08:16 PM

I want to be board certified immediately, if I can't have a toaster.

**Uncle Bob** · 05-20-2004, 08:32 PM

Gee, do we have to drill it in you.

vol01jim · 05-21-2004, 10:41 PM

Holy certification Bobman, my drill sergeant's got it IN for me.

**Uncle Bob** · 06-01-2004, 10:00 AM

BTW I'm working on the official Suzuki-Bikes toaster, trying to fit full fairing and add yoshi pipes or maybe we'll go with apehangers and straightshots.

Jonathan · 06-04-2004, 02:15 PM

Cant wait to see the toaster!

Once again, congrats on the bike Louis. If you cant find a part up there in Canada, lemme know, will see if I can find/get it for you here. I have a friend that works at the local bike shop and he orders all kinds of goodies.

**Louis** · 06-14-2004, 12:49 PM

Don't forget that you need to put in the site's logo in acid etched as we have discussed.

Sorry Jonathan, I didn't see your reply when I posted mine. It was ment for Uncle Bob's Toaster.

Jonathan · 06-19-2004, 01:28 PM

No worries...just making sure I didnt miss anything.

Talking about the bike, how are things going with the one you bought? Having any luck getting it up and running?
