Hi. Umm, still for sale?

Yup, I'm feejin'.

Never thought I'd enjoy someone complementing me on my box. It's an Eastman John Pisano model. I actually traded evenly for a PRS Custom 22 20th Anniversary model that I never really played. The J.P. model normally costs $3,495. This one had two tiny blems from shipment and therefore got a much-reduced price, which brough it in line with the value of the PRS. I gots me quite a few other guitars; too many to list here, though. G.A.S. investment total is very difficult to figure, since I've been amassing things since high school. Still have my first guitar that Dad bought me at age 7 (a Giannini classical; and I'm almost 41 now.) However, I do have 6 guitars, 5 basses, 1 banjo and 4 amps and two bass cabs. Plus, the recording gear. The Eastman's bridge is actually ebony (tailpiece, too, but it's farkled with other exotic wood trim) and it is the right height, but the bridge does look askew. However, the intonation is right on, so I won't mess with it, unless I restring it with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds.

Sold Another chapter closes.... And another one opens....

Bump for price drop again - $5,500. Somebody bust a move here. Great bike. Great stuff. Great history.

Sure, I'll sell it separately. The Akra system was purchased in 2005 for my previous XX (a 2000). Trial fitted it and the bodywork interfered with the header pipe slightly, just where the pipe goes horizontal. Deduced that it was actually the bike's misaligned body panels and not the exhaust. I then removed the system, packed it back up and promptly forgot about it when Other Things In Life took over. There it sat until recently when reorganizing my garage. Doh! So, it is not new, but it was run for approximately 1 hour in 2005 and has a small bit of body plastic adhered to it from the interference (that bit is free!).

Jan 2nd bump

You have pm.

It is a tough crowd...we've had the '03 on the market for two weeks (?). Gonna miss her, but we gotta move and need the fundage. He wants something a little different anyway. I'll be buying my first bike this spring come hell or high water. Good luck on the sale, Rev... we're all gonna need it! Thanks. I'm getting in contact with someone today....

Bump for 2nd price drop to $6,300 and a treat...

bump for photos & price drop

On a wing in 5? I wouldn't bet on it! Non capito "jerky?" Here's the boy at the wheel of a Hot Rod we found (with owners) at Grand Canyon a few weeks ago; at lunch; and popping a wheelie on his first motorbike. (Hijacking my own thread here....)

Ah, okay, then. Willow is one fast track. Raced there in cars from '94-'98. Witnessed a few ugly bike moments there, too. The problem with bikes there is that off track - especially outside Turn 9 which is the fastest corner - is rutted and if you catch a rut, you can end-o many feet in the air. Not fun, nor the quick way 'round. I'll let you know if I get any solid offers, but for now, I have it posted only here.... Cheers. Wing? No. That's for when I hit my next decade! I'm still only 40 (or 30-10) for fuck's sake! Riding with a best friend Sat (tomorrow) from NNJ up to Warwick, then West on NY1 to Jervis, then following the Del River to wherever and back.

Okay, bars are sold.

Long way from NY to CA. Oh Rich...! The first owner took excellent care of it and sold it to me. I flew down to and bought it in NC then rode it to NY. It is a great running and well maintained bike as I put on 10,000 miles on it in 5 months. Rev has taken great care of this bike and the next owner will get a very nice bike! Whatcha gettin' next Rev? An FJR? A C14? Captnbobc: I don't have additional photos yet but will soon. Will post. Nothing really more to add. Good, clean, honest bike. Riding it this weekend as a farewell (so I'll take photos then). It's an excellent sport-tourer and may even be shockingly fast compared to your CX. How long have you been riding? You'd need to use far more brains than brawn when operating the throttle on an XX as anyone here can attest. It's not a hooligan bike. It's faster. It's quieter (aurally and visually). More sophisticated. Anyway, I had another bike a few years ago and that buyer flew East from Calif to ride it back and that went fine but if you're new to this, it might be a bit much to take on. JJP: Hey bud! Found an '06 FJR. Can't get comfy with the idea of a Kawi and have read (and witnessed) a few problems with them. Plus, a sorted, used FJR is a much better proposition in my mind than an unsorted C14. Still for sale....
