It's RowdyRed94's fault... somehow?? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I was hot on the trail of an '03 bandit 1200. Stoped by the dealer last Mon. and they were closed. Just as my infatuation was starting to decrease, Rowdy posted pics of his bike on Tues. Ok, chub back on. Stopped by bank to make sure fund's still o.k. ( I'm married, you never know if new window treatments and bed ruffles are on order

). Get there... no bike. Ask salesmen... they traded the bike to a local radio station in exchange for advertising.

So, back in the hunt for nothing else shall do...

I haven't looked at the prints or run the math, but, somehow it must be Rowdy's fault.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The good news is that Bandits are fairly easy to come by. Keep looking.

Have a buddy who is selling his...think it's an SV1000. He originally sold it to some kid, whose father then resold it back to him for $1000 less because he thought his kid was going to kill himself. He was probably right, kid complained he couldn't keep the front end from coming up. Squid at work there.

Everything is his fault. He knows this. We know this. Scapegoats are necessary.

LOL. Damn me.

Keep looking. You'll love it when you get it.

I don't know whybut, Bandits are real hard to find around my area. 3 of the 6 I've found are 2000 or older. I'm waiting on a set of carbs ( from salvage place ) to rebuild for my KZ750. I really want a bike this time that's not going to need shop time to ride. I'm going to find one somehow.

I think Clint has had them all hidden away so he has an endless supply of parts for the future.

Crap. Busted.

O. K. I've completed the great hunt !! I finally found A 2003 green Susuki Bandit 1200S. Just got back from the guy's house. Showroom condition with 4,016 miles on it. Complete with a set of soft bags for it. We exchange paper work and stuff on Thursday.

It's still all Clint's fault. he just had to get me all wound up(at least I'm going to blame him for it when talking to my wife )
