Ooops!!! I did it again. Motorcycle related..

Well crap... Now I have to give the State of Kansas more Tax $$$$. I went and bought another motorcycle.

1999 Triumph 955i Sprint ST. I wanted a sport tourer and this came up. $3000 but it needs shoes. Was really kept very well. Owner traded it for a Harley. Guess he wanted to trade DOWN........ Never been down or fallen over. A couple of small garage scrapes.....

I belive it's the old shit/ shineola syndrome

God bless those wannaBe's that don't know what the F' they want.

but I couldn't let it go by.

Good on you. Where's the bags?

Looking for the bags now.... The hardware is there but I didn't get them with the bike. I'm watching a blue set on Ebay now..... and lurking on some other sites... Any leads appreciated. I want to get the bags before riding season.

I always liked the st, and very nearly bought one, to replace my t bird. But I couldn't make up my mind with regard to the Duke st4s. Then I went to Florence for a dirty weekend and visited a Guzzi dealer.

Well, guess what I got instead....

Let me guess...... You bought a Harley Davidson? LOL

it came down to the freaking wire, I mean I was going enie meanie... between the goose and a blue ST with bags. I like the position and top end of the ST but I loved the looks class and low down grunt of the Goose. I couldn't make up my mind. Well I think you know how this story turned out. I still wouldn't mind an ST or a daytona I know I'd enjoy it, so would a friend of mine who's lookin to get into riding and only 3k????? good god a screaming deal I think.

I went and bought shoes for the Sprint. I bought Continental Conti Force Max for both front and rear. Less than $250 Installed and I also ordered primary/secondary with a new chain. Any thoughts on a auto oiler? Any recommendations on which to buy?

 

Can't wait for all this crap to melt away to ride the thing. I still can't believe the last two bikes I bought without riding them first. Had to haul them both home in the back of someone else's truck. The Triumph looks good next to the Guzzi in the garage. The funny thing is, all my bikes I currently own, none are built in the US. But then again, most of the Harley's I like aren't built here either...... Just assembled.

 

I had a friend buy me one of the Battery Tender Chargers that looks like a V Twin engine. I'm not much for the looks, but the dual output charger is going to come in handy.
