    Thanks for bringing up motorcycles again, ya' jackoff's.

    I found a deal I just couldnt pass up, seeing as I need some other transportation until I can get the clutch replaced on my car. I've been wanting another bike for awhile, and this just fell in my lap.

    '02 Yamaha FZ1. Guy bought it, it was too much bike for him, and he stored it until now. He moved to Hawaii, couldnt bring it with him, and its been at his buddies house in the garage for the past few months. \

    998cc, 148hp, inline 4cyl, DOHC, 20 valves.

    4500 original miles, one owner, never been down. Comes with a shoei color matched helmet, gore tex riding jacket (dont know the brand, but whatever), and a new rear tire.

    I am snagging it from them for $3700 (everything included). Bahaha. Insurance is $32 a month :D

    Looks very similar to this.

    I nearly purchased one, it was far to cramped for me, and the gauges were horrible. The half fairing didnt do it for me either.

    lol, thanks erik.

    Well its off to bed, to TRY to get some sleep tonight. I havent been this excited since it was christmas, and I was 5. I feel like the only appropriate thing to do is put on my reindeer pajamas, drink apple cider, and hide under my comforter like I'm sleeping until 1201 rolls around and I get to run down stairs.

    The sad fact is I have to work tomorrow, so I'll be picking it up at night. YES.

    Jack, you have to post up the pics of the said bike. Make others jealous of the two wheeled transportation.

    picked it up, and JUST got back. Holy cow I dont know if what I did to this guy was fair. He included a SICK shoei helmet in my size, and a brand new rear tire, I skipped the gore tex jacket, it was pretty flamy...homosexual like. Not my cup.

    It WILL NOT start without help at the carbs from some spray. Keep in mind, its been in storage for a long, long time. Nearly 4 years. I plan on picking up and running seafoam tomorrow, changing the oil, charging the batt. replacing spark plugs, and putting in new coolant...if my bank account will allow....

    Gotta watch my pocket now, this thing drained me dry.
