The World is Your Oyster

They say a fool and his money are quickly parted.  To accelerate that, Bruce and I have have taken to buying things off the internet....and sight unseen.  Oddly enough, we've yet to have a transaction going terribly south. We've also scored some amazing deals, since we are not geographically constrained.  It seems weird to think that living in the Metro DC area that there isn't everything one could want at my feet, but alas it does occur.

While there is an incredible urge to buy a bike that has already had the aftermarket accessories installed, unless they are parts that you actually want it is usually a waste of time and effort. Secondly, these bikes tend to be in more a used condition.

We begin scouring our normal haunts eBay, Craigslist, Cycle Trader and ADVrider.  In nearly prestine condition with only 1200 miles on the 2-year old odometer is the one that we want.  Ironically, it is less than 5 minutes from a family members house, making closing this deal a snap.

To close the 730 miles from Maryland, we'll either go and visit family for the weekend, or more than likely use Uship. 

And who doesn't love a pretty picture of HP and Torque (Factory is the green lines)
