    Well my selling spree has kicked in for this year. I sold the Shiver, the Ducati 748 and now the 2 VF1000R's are going to a new home.

    Im shopping for more bikes now, I have a 2010 Rossi edition R1 on the hook, and im still looking for a Yamaha MT01.

    I like buying bikes, but that means I have to sell some, or I'd be out of space (and $) pretty fast.

    My v4 Honda's are now down to the 2014 VFR800 Deluxe, no more classic V4's. Am I now banished from the 1st/2nd gen brotherhood ?

    You better not be leaving us. I have so many more stupid questions to ask.

    And I get so excited whenever I see a new thread about when your truck (seemingly of its own volition) brings new motorcycles back to your place.

    I know what you're saying about needing to sell things to keep buying things though. I actually just sold my Honda CL350 to a friend's dad this past Sunday, and I think another one is on the chopping block. Because.. well.. there's something else I want.

    Cheers fellas,

    I will be keeping an eye out for a Honda project as well. I have a hankering to do another bike with a Rothmans livery. Just no Idea what it may be at this point.

    I'll post pics of anything I unknowingly drag home, including the Rossi R1, an MT01 if I find one, a VMAX and what ever else jumps into my truck or trailer while my wife isnt looking.

    Sweet !!!!!

    I'd like to find another one to rest mod too. Add a full fairing to it. Buddy of mine has one with Africa Twin Cams and other mods, He is selling it but his asking price is too high.

    Mine is all stock and like new

    image_48042.jpg I always wanted one, but not stock (well, stock would be great too). Opportunity never came up and I wasn't actively pursuing it. Well a solid one with a title at a great price presented itself so I bought it.

    Dual Hawk disc front end with 3.5" CBR1000F wheel.

    Can't keep them all! I am the same way, I am always looking for new challenges and continually looking around.

    You will always be in the brotherhood!

    The Euro Bike is already gone, Im just finalizing the details on the other bike, the parts and the partial trade on the Rossi R1 (Rossi R1+ cash to me). Hope to get that worked out in the next 2 days

    Totally understand your affliction Cat as well as space issues. I just sold my 82 GS1100e and picked up a 81 CBX yesterday. I'm sick too! Tomorrow I pick up a 82 CB1100r......problem, no space for it!

    Congrats !!!!
