added to the 9 .... pics

[CMHGUY]

Cant add anything more to my 9, so I added a new bike to the garage.. stl-tiger and Luke saw this one on craigslist in St Louis this past week and I talked to the guy and asked Luke and Ben to go check it out for me.. Then Hooked the trailer up a day later and headed to ST Louis!! Thanks Ben and Megan for putting me up for the night.. and Luke for hookin me up.. for sure a price I couldnt pass up .. 2008 Concours 23,000 miles on it, vstream windscreen, EBC rotors, Risers, Muzzy pipe, tires have
3000 miles on them .. its got its share of scratches but all good for the money... And now I can get started on planning my west coast ride... my ride to andydude's and key west.. I'd like to get them all in before I turn 50 ... I'm 46 now...



at Ben's ... glad it was there when I woke up!! Just had to deal with bed bugs at Queen Meow Meow's place.. LOL (j/K) bro love you guys like brothers!!



Rode 200 miles today, a bit getting used to it... seat sucks I know that...(pushes you forward) But rides nice!



Washed her after a few hundred miles..





of course I didnt think about where I was gonna put it since I have to store my trailer in my one car garage since they dont like it sitting out... so two bikes and a trailer in there... PACKED! LOL

Eric.. nice

[gottattooz]

Nice new wheels, Eric. Now that I'm seperated/ almost divorced, I keep looking for a second set of wheels, and I keep going toward the Connie or something like that.

Can't see the scratches from here, so they must be small. Great looking bike Eric, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy the heck out of it.

[GVi77]

That's a great bike. I had a black 09 and it's one of the smoothest bike I have ever riden. Congrats and you will love riding it. I will put one of those back in the garage again one of these days.

I didnt say nemo... lol How am I gonna sell for profit if I tell everyone how much I paid..? LOL LOL

Yea feels a little odd at first.. the stock seat feels like its pushing you towards the tank.. No really I paid $6k and had to
drive to St. Louis to pick it up.. 950 miles round trip..

LOL, Great price. Does it have the 2"handle bar risers yet? That will help sit ya up straight a little more. I have them and it feels pretty good all the way around.

LOOKS Great ! That is what I am looking at also !

Never hurts to add to the garage.... Enless urs is full... ")

Congrats on adding a Super Sport Touring sled to your ever growing motorcycle collection! Once you get a aftermarket seat & adjust to the riding ergo's I'm sure you'll be loving life on long rides & overnights now! Congrats Dude!

And so it begins...

Thanks Nathan... Taking Q's from you, but keeping the 9... And it came with risers.. :) just doing things to it for long rides...

U mean you don't have plans for a 300mm rear end & copious amounts of chrome add ons for the Connie? I'm sooo........................proud of you!!!! LOL

[Canucklehead]

Well if you're going to be heading north to visit Andy in Moncton, hang a left and head west to the other coast. Stop in a visit the boys in Ontario, keep going to the Rockies where you've got a place to stay here, then over and down to Washington St where there is a great group of guys there too... I could keep going on... The possibilities are endless buddy!!!

great bike Eric Plenty of room in Ontario for you !!! And when you hit the Left coast..include hwy 36 in northern cali..still cant get that road off my mind !!!

[blacklightning]

Very nice, and a good price also. I found one in my neighborhood for $6,200, and thought that was a steal. Even though I love the nine, you will never look at a curvy road the same way again. I plan on riding my zzr to the pre mid atlantic meet next year. Just so I can keep up with you guys

For some reason I thought you totaled the ZZR. My bad!

I agree with you regarding the curves. I had forgotten how a bike is supposed to go around corners until I got the V-Strom.

[blacklightning]

For some reason I thought you totaled the ZZR. My bad!

I did. Picked up another zzr1200 two weeks ago. Same color, same model, 14k fewer miles, and a few other extras. I figured no need to post pictures of bike number 10, since it is a carbon copy of bike number 9.
You can believe, I have full coverage insurance on this one.
