Almost sold my bike/Thought twice

[nohawk]

Thought real hard about meeting a guy in Little Rock and swapping my Bonneville for a clean 98 Sprint with the 885 triple, but got to looking at my disassembled bike and started thinking about it. That sprint is probably worth about 3,000 and even though its probably more practical but it would never be as cool. I was already thinking about how much it would cost to cafe the sprint. I told him that I would do the deal if he brought some dollars to the deal so I could have a down payment for another twin, I keep reminding myself how bummed I was when I sold my old Thruxton.

Good move.

I agree. I would feel kinda cheated if I never gave myself more time to afford getting the suspension upgraded,can, big bore,etc... The simplicity of these air cooled twins and the way you can change them up is unbeatable. Even if its expensive

Sprint=not cool

A Bonneville has history and character and the chicks love them!

 

[mark66]

Yeah good move, it always pays off to think twice about a deal your about to make.

Sprint=not cool

I don't know about that. I'd have one of those new Sprint GTs in my garage a NY second if the funds allowed. In addition to the Bonnie, NOT in lieu of though...

I'll never sell the Bonnie so long as I can ride it.

Damn good thing you didnt sell. Then those leds I'm shipping out to you tomorrow morning would be for dick.

Step away from the Bonneville. Give the title to someone you trust and tell them to hide it and no matter what you say keep it hidden.
Go out to your garage and tell the Bonnie you will be keeping her.
Phew! That was a close one.

 

[T-boy]

Keep the Bonnie...with all the thought and sweat you've put into her, she's got to feel like a part of you.

P.S. Were you liquored up when the swap thought first came to you?

 

[sweatmachine]

Scott.....

bitch please!

 

[msc66]

Sorry, I think sport bikes like that sprint are ugly as sin. I could never own one.

 

[Kirkus51]

Christ!! My gut hangs over the Bonnie's tank. What would it be on a Sprint??

Thanks again dude! Tires should be here later this week and I'll be ready to go. Think you'll make it to the harvest classic?

I wish but no can do. cant afford to take that much time off work, and have no one here to watch my mutt

 

[Skeeter]

good choice scotty. keep that rad bonnie of yours

 

[drlapo]

I have a Thruxton: great bike
but you guys are missing a great experience if you do not ride/own a big triple
I have a 1050 Speed Triple too and the power, handling, brakes, sound are in a different league

 

[nohawk]

Yeah I have a 02 Daytona thats got a cracked head right now but Ive always wanted a first generation speed triple, the sprint I was considering could be converted to a speed trip pretty easily but I know I should hang on to the Bonnie.

 

[sweatmachine]

I'll be at the Harvest Classic. I just reserved 2 motel rooms in Kerrville for Friday and Saturday night. I couldn't find anything in Fredericksburg for less than $150 per night, even crappy motels.

 

[nohawk]

Ill be staying in Kerrville with my uncle
