Stay tuned for sale on 1st Gen Parts!! You know it ain't gonna happen but I'm getting tired of sitting!!!! Just Maybe..... May be a little high considering the savage title...depends on how much damage... Congratulations! I knew you eventually get smart enough to start considering a 2nd Gen.....

OldBear Posted August 7, 2009 #5 Posted August 7, 2009 What WAS the damage? Frame? IF it looks ok and, MORE importantly, IF IT RIDES OK, it may be a real deal. Be sure though to find out how it rides/tracks. ALSO, what are the laws re "salvage title" for a road bike in your state? Can you GET license plates/insurance for it? Check it out before you spend your $$. In know in some states, at least in years gone by, "salvage", meant that you could not license/insure for street use!! Caveat Emptor, but GOOD LUCK!! If ya can title it and it looks good and rides good, who CARES what the title says, You get a cheap ride:innocent-emoticon:
Hummingbird Posted August 7, 2009 #6 Posted August 7, 2009 depending on the damage - it may not be worth the $6650 but if I didn't have an '07' I sure would look at it.
Yammer Dan Posted August 7, 2009 Author #7 Posted August 7, 2009 Was supposedc to be light rear end damage. You cannot see it. It looks perfect. Can you change a salvage title back?
bongobobny Posted August 7, 2009 #8 Posted August 7, 2009 Dan, ride a 2nd gen before you think about buying one. They handle WAAAAAAY different than a 1st gen...
Yammer Dan Posted August 7, 2009 Author #9 Posted August 7, 2009 It went for 8,101.99 Sombody got a great ride for that. It looked like new. Warden would have killed me anyway. And me on a 2nd Gen.... NO NO NO NO!!
Mariner Fan Posted August 8, 2009 #10 Posted August 8, 2009 Probably for the better. Salvage titles can have underlying troubles that you can't see.
Yammer Dan Posted August 8, 2009 Author #11 Posted August 8, 2009 It looked perfect. Would have been a rider. I'm running out of legs need to slow down!!NOT!!
The Black Pearl Posted August 8, 2009 #12 Posted August 8, 2009 It went for 8,101.99 Sombody got a great ride for that. It looked like new. Warden would have killed me anyway. And me on a 2nd Gen.... NO NO NO NO!! Hey yammer I recently went from my baby, a 86 venture to a 05 midnight it was different yes but after a few weeks I dont think I could go back LOVING It Just My
Redneck Posted August 8, 2009 #13 Posted August 8, 2009 Go for it Dan sell all those first gen parts the nut cases I I I I mean the first genners will give enough for that junk I I I I mean those part to buy a second gen and have a good retirement.
Skid Posted August 8, 2009 #14 Posted August 8, 2009 I know where a Almost Perfect First Gen is that can be had, plenty of extras and only 65K miles....

Hummingbird Posted August 8, 2009 #16 Posted August 8, 2009 Was supposedc to be light rear end damage. You cannot see it. It looks perfect. Can you change a salvage title back? Once a title has been registered as a SALVAGE title it cannot be changed back. Car dealers will not take a SALVAGE titled vehicle on trade and a lot of banks will not loan on a SALVAGE title unless your credit is such that you're above question.
Condor Posted August 8, 2009 #17 Posted August 8, 2009 It's fun to dream...What if? I've lusted after a 2ndGen, and a Stratoliner, in the past, but neither happened for one reason of another. I understand the feeling about not riding with so many bikes in the stable. With health issues and oil leaks I've been sitting for the last 6-7 months. But I'm happy to say the '83 has been rejuvenated by replacing the old leaky forks with MkII forks, R1 calipers, and a new rear Avon. It's ALIVE!!!!!! It's amazing how the psychy improves when there's a bike sitting there ready to ride. Now it's on to the '91 and it's leak. The rest of the bikes I consider 'one-of-these-days kits'. Do you have anything that's close to being ridable? Instead of being overwhelmed, and thinking about all the projects, concintrate on just one. If none of them are close to road worthy, maybe it's time to become an Ebay seller. Bank the money you get from the parts and go out and buy a very clean 1stGen or 2ndGen. I bet you have enough part$ buck$ to get something that you don't have to wrench on.
Yammer Dan Posted August 8, 2009 Author #18 Posted August 8, 2009 "Ugly" is a good day from being on the road. Trouble is leg won't give it to me. I get a few minutes at a time before it starts blowing up and sending me hunting for drugs.
99silver Posted August 8, 2009 #19 Posted August 8, 2009 Decisions Decisions I'm gonna go talk to "Ugly" Stay away from that mirror Dan, remember seven years of bad luck on top of your previous sentence. WAY BAD !!!!!!!

I get a few minutes at a time before it starts blowing up and sending me hunting for drugs. Hey Dan. I know how you feel about the bad pin. Wildhair and I do too... So..... it doesn't make any difference if you own a 2ndGen or not.. The leg and happy pills are keeping you out of the saddle. Ommmmm.... I see a trike in the future...
Yammer Dan Posted August 8, 2009 Author #21 Posted August 8, 2009 Stay away from that mirror Dan, remember seven years of bad luck on top of your previous sentence. WAY BAD !!!!!!! Now that just Ain't Right!!:rotfl: I don't think I'll ever do Trike Jack. Never rode one but it just don't look like me.
Skid Posted August 8, 2009 #22 Posted August 8, 2009 ...I don't think I'll ever do Trike Jack. Never rode one but it just don't look like me. Yammer Dan on a Trike? Now that might be safer for him to ride.....
Condor Posted August 8, 2009 #23 Posted August 8, 2009 I don't think I'll ever do Trike Jack. Never rode one but it just don't look like me. Unless that leg of yours heals up OK it'll be either a trike or a pogo stick..... Beside a trike is like a 58 Chevy Impala... It grows on ya.... Didn't I just see a pic of a V-Max Trike???
Yammer Dan Posted August 8, 2009 Author #24 Posted August 8, 2009 With that V-Max Trike they couldn't catch me to run over me!!
