hey turbo, this was just from hacksawing the old pipe at around the footpeg for the ride down from pemberton to my home (about 150kms). bike still needs plenty of work, including that generously donated pipe of urs! man, its gonna be nice having this thing in proper workin order again. that ride down was the most harrowing thing i'v ever done i think. front brakes kept lockin up. every time i used them, and sometimes when i didnt, they would refuse to release. got me stuck in the middle of the road in the dark at one point. carried a 10mm with me so i could crack the bleeders every time it happened to release the pressure. finally foudn that if i dont use the fronts and did a maintenance pressure reliefe every 20 miles or so, it didnt lock up on me. just wish i knew WHY it was happening. guess i have to pull the master cyclinder apart & see if theres some shit in there.
something is bent too. was kind crawling sideways the whole time. front formks look a touch twisted. rear must be off center too; i'm hoping its just the swingarm bent and not the frame. will find out soon.

Can I suggest trading it in? (seriously) .. .BBY has a 00 Silver 12 in on consignment... spotless with only 10K on it... asking nine grand... u could prolly get it fer a whole lot less and trade yer crashed bike in fer parts er something...
by the time you fix yers you may be very close to the cost of the used one they have there.
think about what I just said very seriously.

Very true statement. The only thing missing in the statement is the misery one experiences along the way while thinking he got a better deal then everyone else!!

The local Kawi dealer has a 2000 red one and a 2001 green one still on the floor. You could probably pick up the 2000 for $8,000 and or the 2001 for $8500.

thx fer the tips boys. if mine proves to be fucked, i'll liekly part it out & buy whatever cheap junk i can. cant afford to spend any money on replacing it with another 12. i cant spend any real money fixin this one up either. not plannin on body work for quite a while. if they'r gonna tell me its a couple grand to straighten it, same goes; i'll just get rid of it. fact is i'm flat, flat broke, so i simply can't entertain those options. only thing i'm likely to trade it in for is something cheap like a street legal dirtbike. keep me from gettin more tickets too.

Damn, frEEk. That REALLY sux.
'Bout on the verge of quittin' my job and doing the old' wanderin' thang. So's guess I need to get a quick dose of bein' poor and shit.
But DAMN. I think I'd almost part with my left testicle with the promise I could keep my 12 and keep parts and whatnot for it as well cash free. Hell, the use I have for that thing is about over (the testicle, that is).
I wonder if I could sell my Durango for what I owe on it and shitbag the rest.
I'm about on the verge of pulling a 1 percenter, Jack Kerouac, or just say fook it and just live in a van and race for a while.
Either way, I'd just wonder around.
Maybe a long vacation is what I need instead to bring me back to the whole 'white picket fence reality' that we all have allowed our society to construct for us.
Yeah, that's it. THAT's the ticket.
I need new pornos.
