| Oh the mental torchure. Took her to work the other day and once again she owned up to her name as the speedo crapped out again. So it turned out to only be the speedo cable again (was just replaced not many miles ago). Yes it was minor, but enough to put me over the final edge and throw her on ebay. Yes she is priced high, but if someone is willing to pay, she's all theres (especially when compared to the prices people pay for Harpers and Cycle Garden machines!). I think I have been jinxed with this Ambo, perhaps someone else will have luck now that I have spent my mental lentils and too much dinero getting her to where she is at. Of course the cash in pocket doesn't hurt to pay off that huge Visa bill that she created. Have also had a few intersted parties offer me up some real fine Beemers + cash for Patience, now there's a hoot. Still in the saddle with a sweet R100RS or R100RT or K100LT plus a few grand to play with. One guy offered me $6K in a trade - his 80 R100RT with 15K original miles + $3K. We'll see. I figured I would list her at what I've got into her and see if the price runs up like some of those cycle garden bikes we've seen sell for $12K plus, though I'm not at all expecting that but why not just list it and see. May wind up keeping her after all this is said and done, but I do have a "sour" taste now, I'm at the point where I expect something to go wrong or break every time I'm out on her, not the confidence I want to have in a courtship with my motorcycle. I think it's time to move on..... Keith Zink, Rich, ITD wrote:
