So long my old friend
So long my old friend
Made a deal with the (wife) and in order to buy my dream, bike(2006 R1LE) I had to sell the old Fizzer. The worest part was after I sold the bike the seller of the LE backed out. The moral of the story is “easer to ask for forgiveness then for permission” Here is some picture of her as she departed.

Yes, i always buy first and worry about the fallout later
But look at the bright side, you now have the OK to get an R1 and cash in your pocket, time for a little shopping i thing,
Oh, and take the wife along, she might not be interested, but you give her a chance to have a little input into your next purchase, she will get boared, go looking at handbags, and you ride home on a bike you never even showed her
but still, parting with a good bike is always a little sad

Mistake. Better to get something in addition to, rather than exchange for. Even if you were able to get the other bike, it is an unknown quantity, and the FZR was family. You don't sell family. :sad
Sorry. I was feeling sad for your sale, and am just blabbing...it's late.
She looked great though! I hope the new owner respects her as much as the pictures show you did. The mods were very tasteful.
