I've had a recent change of heart.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned possibly pulling the trigger on a new big V-Strom.
I'm fortunate enough to have a garage full of bikes. My beloved 2006 GSXR 1000 had been a wonderful track tool until I grenaded the clutch. The catastrophic clutch failure was so complete it warranted my procrastinating self to allow it to devolve toward the back of the garage, feeling left out and forgotten about.
I couldn't take it anymore and finally pulled it out to the daylight to resolve the stubborn clutch woes. While in the process of that, I rekindled my love affair with that bike.
The project went from fixing the clutch, maybe washing it and selling it.
Not anymore. I'm outta control.
All body parts and panels are now at the paint shop getting some nice coats of it's new custom cobalt blue and charcoal gray paint scheme.
I'm going through the entire bike with an eye toward perfection. Yes, there will be a thread in the "Who let the smoke out" forum.
One of my favorite "old" bikes is rapidly becoming my next "new" bike.
