Sold my bike today.

Finally got a live one on the hook. The guy came buy, the bike fired up on first crank (many thanks for everyone's help). The guy looked like I did when I first bought the bike - excited!
After going over everything I have done to it, the usual haggle went nice.
I think that it firing up was most of the sale, along with the hard - earned appearance. Yes I lost money, but the worst part was as it drove away, I stood there watching and feeling that I lost a friend.

Hopefully he takes good care of the old girl.

What did you replace her with? Looking for another GS or you riding a Harley now? Sometimes you just can't make the cash back...maybe on the next one!

That's what I'm hoping

NOOO, no Harley. No bike, as I sold her because I just don't possess 'road ballz'. But you never know. I repaired a 250 Ninja for a guy I work with, and delivered it today after I sold mine. There is still enjoyment to riding, which the 15 mile ride reminded me. But the GS requires TLC, and was made to ride, frequently.
PS, for the price of a Harley, I could own a decent street bike, a BMW roar warrior, a dirt bike, and a little pit thrasher!

Yes, I do. There was a feeling of pride knowing all that went into making that bike run right, my effort, and the GSR collective wisdom!
