Well Im getting back into the riding spirit again since its warming up. First I sold the cannondale, reluctantly because it was a d**n nice machine, but was gonna take some more money to make it a running machine. And with the reputation they have, I would of never felt confident to have it as my only machine. Then I sold the ATZ500. With that money I bought some '01 plastic for the banshee, some small headlights and a few other odds and ends to make it my own machine since my wife wont be riding it as her main machine. So now the banshee should look pretty close to what I want,.. a nice stock reliable machine. I keep throwing around the idea of getting some pipes, but I kind of like how quiet it is with the stockers. I will eventually get some nice shocks for it, in hopes to make it ride somewhat close to what the cannondale did.
So Ive got that, and my little YZ drag bike that needs to be put back together. This summer I plan on riding more, and at least making it to beaver a few times. It will be a lot easier to load up one machine in the bed of the pickup and go for the weekend now, instead of trying to get 2 or 3 machines going, all running, and everything that goes with having someone else tag along the whole trip. The wife still wants to ride, but she understands that it just costs to much anymore to have a bunch of machines, and she would rather me have one and be happy.
Ill post some pics of the shee when Ive got all the new goodies on it. Oh, and there wont be a lot of bling... keeping that stuff polished sucks. Just the plain jane stock stuff is best in my opinion anymore.
