another stray bike follows me home. i'm in trouble

my brother finally sold that lemon 900rr he had and he asked me to drop it off for him .
one of the downsides to owning a truck.
while we were on the way over he told me the guy had a smaller bike he wanted to sell.
he thought it was a suzuki or something like that. all he knew was it had some plastic on it.

well look what i found when i got there.



it is only a 550 but it runs real good, it's complete, even has the factory exhaust.

i just had to have it.
i loaded it up and brought it home without telling the wife.
again, easier to beg for forgiveness then ask permission.

i called omr to say my final goodbye's on the way home in case the wife killed me.
his first responce?
"what do you want that little thing for?"
we both came up with i should tell the wife it is for her so she can learn how to ride.



not the best paint job. matter of fact it's a pretty bad rattle can job.
( ron is right about this one, some people should never try to paint )

i'll get some better pictures tommorrow during the daytime.



and the best part?
it was only $100. title and all.
i have to go back for all the extra parts he has friday.
a couple extra rims, forks etc.

look at it this way....for 100 bucks ya cant go wrong and if ya hadnt bought it and told us,you d probably catch wayyyy more flak from us than what the warden is gonna give ya.....:lol:

men can not be held responsible for items that end up in the back of his truck.


MAN LAW.


good score!!

great bikes...top notch.....you will get it back in shape and running....good for you....daddy omr should be proud....you could make it a father son day project.....

man, I am jealous, I miss my 550. Once you get it going you just may end up liking it too.

Great score man,
Are'nt you glad you moved that frame from your garage to mine so you would have some room for Mamas bike :laugh:

$100!!! sweet buy

any running bike is a steal for $100, i wouldnt have even questioned the purchase

Ditto! I would have scoffed it up as well.
