Underlings

Yes indeed, all parts included...including even the spare key. Metallic titanium is an amazing color. Not so typical as black, but more eye-grabbing and just as sinister. The only problem is trying to describe what it looks like: "Well, it's kind of a metallic brownish greenish sort of color...ish." "Thanks a pantload. That helps." "But it really looks gorgeous." "Sounds it. Brownish greenish. Yup, that sounds beautiful...like week-old meat." "No, no, it's not like that at all." "Right...like METALLIC week-old meat." "No, you've got it all wrong, it's more like--" "My Yamaha is metallic blood red. Now THAT'S gorgeous." "Blood red? Like meat juice?" "What? No!" "Oh, right...METALLIC meat juice." "You suck, you know that." "You too, honey. Now don't forget to pick up the kids after school." Ummm...what was I talking about?

Ah, right...I'm in CA and I forget most places have non-riding seasons.

Yeah, I love the look on the bike too. Well, I hope someone wants them. I'm willing to come down on the price if necessary.

Hmm, not much interest in Corbin Beetle Bags these days, it seems. Or are there just too few 2000 Blackbirds still on the road?

I've thoroughly enjoyed my 2000 metallic titanium 2000 Blackbird for 10 years...only to drop it at low speed a month ago. Purely cosmetic damage, but the insurance company totaled it anyway. I've since bought a 2006 Hayabusa...which doesn't run as smoothly as my Blackbird, nor does it accelerate any faster (I had my XX geared down at the expense of top speed but giving it faster acceleration), nor is it as comfortable, nor is it as unique and elegant. In short, I miss my 'bird...but she's gone. The only thing left is the Corbin Beetle Bags I removed from her corpse. I didn't give them to the insurance company because they offered little for them. The bags do have a scratched area on the right side where it kissed the pavement, but that can be repaired as good as new for a few hundred dollars. I'm hoping to sell them for $650 to someone in the SF Bay area (I'd rather avoid shipping issues, but it's a possibility).
