Thankfully the story has already broken so the pressure is off.  But still want to show off what I brought home today.

Found out about this bike about 10:00 this morning.  It was only an hour from my home.  Went after it this afternoon and have it home here tonight.

It's just short of bone stock.  Owner had put true duals on it a long time ago, Stage 1 air cleaner and DL, the highway pegs and passenger footboards can be seen in the photos, a stubby antenna and I guess not much else.

Everything that would have been with the bike new is supplied with it now.  Liners, that cool bike cover, both backrests, everything.  20k miles.  Sounds good.  Looks real good.  Looks to have been well taken care of during its life.  No deficiencies of any consequence.  It will clean up very very nice.  And it's red/red/red. 

I've been interested in one of these for a long time.  Just never found the right bike at the right price.  Finally scored.  Close to home so no cartage costs or handling worries.  I even sold a vehicle recently so won't have to pay sales tax on this purchase.  Was just the perfect storm of a bike acquisition.

Here are a few (several) photos.  Not cleaned up.  Disregard the missing screws in the windshield.  I pushed a couple of the grommets in when attempting to put the windshield back on (it had to come off to go in the trailer).  Hope it and the red bike get along.

Ok, that's it for now.  More and better later after it gets well cleaned up and in better light.  Will change fluids in all three holes in the next few days, give it a new set of spark plugs, get the wind screen screwed back down and generally go over it with a fine toothed comb. 

First impressions of the bike are very promising though.  Don't see anything abused, yanked, pulled or otherwise mistreated.  Very clean and very complete with really nothing in the way of mods or accessorizing really done to it.

Really don't intend to do much else to it either.  Some minor cosmetic stuff to get rid of the plain bolts and a few chrome covers in some places that need covered up.  But really not much.  Just make it ready to ride and then play with it.

It looks great, Don.  Sure brings back memories of my 01 black/grey SERG.  I'll predict you will ride this bike more often then your SEEG this summer.  My SERG was the most comfortable riding bike I have owned...


Congratulations on your acquisition!  She's a beauty!
