my brother finally sold that lemon 900rr he had and he asked me to drop it off for him .
one of the downsides to owning a truck.
while we were on the way over he told me the guy had a smaller bike he wanted to sell.
he thought it was a suzuki or something like that. all he knew was it had some plastic on it.

well look what i found when i got there.



it is only a 550 but it runs real good, it's complete, even has the factory exhaust.

i just had to have it.
i loaded it up and brought it home without telling the wife.
again, easier to beg for forgiveness then ask permission.

someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.

i called omr to say my final goodbye's on the way home in case the wife killed me.
his first responce?
"what do you want that little thing for?"
we both came up with i should tell the wife it is for her so she can learn how to ride.



not the best paint job. matter of fact it's a pretty bad rattle can job.
( ron is right about this one, some people should never try to paint )

someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.

man, I am jealous, I miss my 550. Once you get it going you just may end up liking it too.

Ditto! I would have scoffed it up as well.

I swear to God, it's like I live in a trailer of common sense, and stare out the window at a tornado of stupidity.
