rbig1 Posted January 29, 2015 #1 Posted January 29, 2015 Well I put a down payment on a different bike. Hope I can pick it up before end of next week. Been looking for quite a while. well here it is
eagleeye Posted January 30, 2015 #2 Posted January 30, 2015 What a gorgeous bike. Now go out and ride. Well, when the weather lets you.
Freebird Posted January 30, 2015 #3 Posted January 30, 2015 Always liked that color combo. Very nice.
pbjman Posted January 30, 2015 #4 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice! What year is it? I see nice accessories. Can I have your trunk rack, passing lights, and driver backrest, please! Oh, and the cool front fender trim! Are those some kind of side marker lights on trunk? Unless I'm mistaken, the CB antenna is not on the same side as mine, might want to make sure it is hooked up correctly. I think I read before that that can damage the radio?
MikeWa Posted January 30, 2015 #5 Posted January 30, 2015 Your gona like that one. It's gorgeous. Mike
rbig1 Posted January 30, 2015 Author #6 Posted January 30, 2015 its a 2001 model ill have to find out about antenna deal.
Freebird Posted January 30, 2015 #7 Posted January 30, 2015 They are almost definitely on the wrong side. Just need to screw them off an swap them. You should see a cable coming out of the bottom of that left one going right into a black box under the trunk. If that is the case, then they need to be swapped.
dueyk1111 Posted January 30, 2015 #8 Posted January 30, 2015 nice looking ride!!!! hope you really enjoy it:thumbsup:
djh3 Posted January 30, 2015 #9 Posted January 30, 2015 It puzzles me. Seems every few months someone posta a pic of their scoot, and someone says the antennas are on wrong side. Makes me wonder if thats why I have not had success with the CB on a trip, so I just dont mess with it.
CMCOFFEY Posted January 30, 2015 #10 Posted January 30, 2015 It must be something with those green 01s. Mine had the antennas switched when I got it too. luckily the guys on this forum were quick to point it out.
Pegasus1300 Posted January 30, 2015 #11 Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice bike,I hope you get it. It even has the pie plates over the rotors.Those are very rare.They only offered them for a couple of years.
cowpuc Posted January 30, 2015 #12 Posted January 30, 2015 BEAUTIFUL!!! THAT makes me just :95:for summer!! Hope it all works out and you ride the socks off that gorgeous scoot Rbig!! Puc
Stealthblade Posted January 30, 2015 #13 Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice bike. Looks like the 01's are taking over
turtle Posted January 30, 2015 #14 Posted January 30, 2015 Congratulations looks sharp lots of goodies can't wait to ride together next spring . i see alotof trips to the Muscatine area to meet and ride might have to go get a rootbeer .
rbig1 Posted January 30, 2015 Author #15 Posted January 30, 2015 yep sound good will need diamond cuts also while over there.
turtle Posted January 30, 2015 #16 Posted January 30, 2015 Trailer ready anytime you are to pick it up. If you get next Saturday i am in for a road trip.
eagleeye Posted January 31, 2015 #19 Posted January 31, 2015 Be sure and post pics when you get it home. I love that year! And that one is loaded!
mrsteve Posted January 31, 2015 #20 Posted January 31, 2015 If your getting it from a dealer you might insist that the CB works. Using the wrong antenna can blow out the transmitter finals.
Flyinfool Posted January 31, 2015 #21 Posted January 31, 2015 Even if you are not getting from a dealer, If the CB don't work that is ammo to bargain down the price.
rbig1 Posted February 3, 2015 Author #22 Posted February 3, 2015 well the boy and I are going to pick it up tomorrow. Rented a trailer down there to haul it back. That way wont be beat on way down. Cant wait. Have to take pics down there as snow everywhere here. hope I can get in garage shoveled off all the snow behind it and used way to much salt. Will have all day to melt.
cowpuc Posted February 3, 2015 #23 Posted February 3, 2015 CONGRATS RBIG!! Hope you and your son have a safe, fun journey and that the new bike is EVERYTHING you are hoping for!! Glad your going after it now cause I heard rumors that FlyingFool's White Wash Machine blew a gasket and, even though it might take a week or two for the sunshine to burn off the last White Wash it squirted up there, we are gonna be riding very very soon!!
turtle Posted February 4, 2015 #24 Posted February 4, 2015 Congratulations buddy have a safe trip can't wait to see it.Summer come soon
rbig1 Posted February 5, 2015 Author #25 Posted February 5, 2015 Went down to festis mo and picked up my bike. Test rode it before buying. It was 40 out got back from ride it was 30. by the time got done with paper work and loading it up on trailer. The weather went bad freezing rain. Went down the highway and had to stop at next exit to retie the bike. We got back on interstate went about a mile cars in ditch ass of truck slipping. we were going about 30 mph then hit saint lewis rush hour traffic we moved around 15 mph for the next 40 miles. roads were super slick. Never got above 50 mph all the way out of mo. Quite a few cars and big trucks in ditch. Got about 50 miles into iowa before roads straightened out. We pulled into Muscatine at 11 pm. I was so tired from ride the bike is still on the trailer have to unload it this morning. Hope I can get it loose with all the ice on it. Think i'll name it ice.
