My 250 is in the for sale forum now. It can be a great ride for someone with lots of upgrades.

Just got back from checking out the ForSale/Wanted forums. I don't see your 250 there.

There is another 250 for sale up though. It's got a Givi rack and Leo Vince, but it's not yours. This one is nice and clean...probably someone else selling one.

I'm still hawking my 400 for another day on ebay and the for sale forum.
Thanks to forum I noticed a leaky clamp by the water pump and replaced it today for $2.34. Actually it was closer to thirty bucks by the time I bought a new pair of vice grips and a pair of tin snips.....I gotta stay away from the tool Isle!

Thought I'd clean it up for someone who would rather look at it than ride it.

Rode it to Walmart and it seemed to go faster. More slippery with the wax? Oh yeah I put the J-Costa back on. Razz emoticon

Amen to that! My 'cheap' mods have ensured that I now have a full set of Stanley tools and various odd 'bitz'!

Sorry Luthor, I'm going to have to go with Fuzzy on this one. Dirty bikes are HOT 8) 8) !! At least, I keep telling myself that. Every time I have quality time to spend with my bike I am on the road, not in the driveway washing it. I finally washed it last week and there was muddy grossness running down the driveway

You guys forget that I have logged almost as many miles as Fuzzy and been able to keep it clean. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, WAX it very nicely when you get it(when it's still clean) and a simple spray detailer/light rinse every now and then(once every 2 weeks or so) and it'll remain spotless and ready to smile at those asking questions . I literally can spray detail mine in less time than it takes to put on a good bike jacket. Considering I do that once every 2 weeks and "might" wash/wax it for 30 minutes once every 2 months, I'd say its worth it.

Wha? emoticon This is my standard lunch. In the middle of eating one at my desk as I write this. I have lost 30 pounds in last year with this as part of my diet and would have to skip lunch more than a week to save $6.00 for what these cost at Walmart.
