06' Suzuki GSXR 1000
Farmington, UT 84025 - Aug 7, 2006
2006 Suzuki 1000. This bike is perfect! It has 1000 miles and has had its 500 mile dealer service. (Expensive) It's been adult ridden, all wheels have always been on the ground. I use it as a cruiser/commuter.
I'm selling it because it was purchased without proper consent of a loving wife. Apparently "do whatever the f*** you want" doesn't mean what I thought. Call me, Steve. (801)867-8292 |

Nice bike, though. Definitely not for the feint of heart! |

Location: Upper Left USA | For the Domestically challenged Hard-of-listening I might also throw in the following:
"Fine!" does not mean Okey-dokie!
"What-ever", "Feel Free to do whateverthehellyouwant" and "It's up to you" do not mean what they sound like!
"Have a nice Life" insinuates a certain degree of separation. |

Location: East Wenatchee, WA | I am trying to find a bargain on a DL650. Looked at the DL1000, but I am not long-legged enough.
May have to go back to another Goldwing though as I am not sure my wife would ride on any of them with me. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My wife just gave me the "do what you want" regarding the 30th Anniversary Custom Legend that was on ebay until a couple minutes ago. I suggested that she could save a few hundred bucks by buying my 30th Anniversary gift a year in advance.Of course, I heard that as "go ahead and buy it", so I started to enter the BIN and got a phone call. I'm not a good multitasker and by the time I got the guy off the phone, it sold for $1250, $50 less than the BIN. Oops, I guess I'll have to wait until next year. I hope the permission lasts that long. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | GSXR1000: The perenial all-time favorite of the squid magazine editors. Unfortunately, it rewards only the top 1% of riders. For the remaining 99%, it just gets them in over their head. After 100 miles on this bike, anybody over 40 will need a chiropractor. I'll stick with my BMWs and Harley. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Reminds me of a local doctor who bought a Porsche Turbo. When I found out he sold it, I asked him why he bought it in the first place. He said his partners baited him by saying he wasn't man enough to have a car like that. Then I asked him why he sold it so soon and he said he wasn't man enough to have a car like that. |

Well, not with you exactly... if you're on the BMW you'll be a shiny spot ahead of me on the horizon, and if you're on the Harley you'll be about 5 miles back on the side of the road... ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I told Waskel that he missed the first phase of male menopause--the red sports car phase--when he bought the Gold Wing. I didn't tell him that he also skipped the Harley phase. He just jumped into old age with both feet. Gold Wings are curious. Kind of a motorcycle for conservatives. Almost an oxymoron. |

Location: closely held secret | Yeah, a motorcycle for conservatives.
If it means:
not being hit in the face by bugs moving at 75 mph
not getting soaked by rain - even when you're moving
your butt not going to sleep 50 miles into a 200 mile stretch
your skin not catching fire when you have to sit in traffic on 100 degree days
you don't spend more time on the side of the road than you do on the road
you can comfortably listen to music instead of your ears bleeding from the roar of your pipes
...then yeah, it's a motorcycle for conservatives. Nothing conservative about 1500 cc's of power, however. (that's 92 CI) |

Location: Keller, TX | Just bought the Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom about 2 months ago. Rode a 600R Ninja in college. I've been talking about getting another bike since I got married 15 years ago. So, she knew it was eventually gonna happen. One day it did. She can't say I didn't warn her. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | You guys are way ahead of me - I'm just trying to keep up on the "guitar and baby toys" phase.
Mark, I did have one close to you for a while - I had a 1998 red Mercedes SLK230 turbo for about two years...traded it in when I got married and "settled" down. We're planning ahead, and having our kids as early as possible, so by the time they're grown (or mostly) I'll be looking for something like a Boxter again.
Of course, hanging around here, my budget may go all to guitars... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | A 911, at least an older one, will hold 2 kids in the back, at least until they are about 11. We found booster seats that we carved the bottom to fit in the back "seats" of the 911. Lots of fun miles with and without the kids in the Porsches. Got the Boxster after they were grown. |
