So Rock was over on Sunday to wrench on "Skyshot", its always great to have a hand while working on a bike, and I noticed something was up. Kept on talking about GP this, magazine test that, rear wheel dyno tests on 2006 1 liter Gixers vs the new 2011, stuff like that. Says that any 06 Sazook would stomp his MAX and his ZZR and that its a whole 'nother ballgame. Periodically he would apologize and make a half-hearted comment about wanting all three, but there isn't room in the garage to hold his two bikes, my KX500, and his ramp building materials. How it would be great to have a bike to cover every part of the spectrum, and he's missed his old GSXR since he wadded it back in the 90's. Asked me if I thought some Ohlins hardware would help his ZZR stay with a late model sport bike through the corners.
After he finished drilling lightening holes in the head light brackets on "Skyshot" he turns to me and says, "you know the dealer up the road has a clean 06 Zook, and the salesman is really wanting "to work with me" on a trade in deal if I bring in my MAX".
Then it hits me, he is talking about getting rid of his V-Max!!!! I just about cracked his skull with my air impact gun, but i was feeling dizzy after the betrayal set in.
So I pull it together and start pouring some 1/2" ball bearings into a tube sock (to avoid breaking my impact) and when he sees this he quickly excuses himself, exclaims that it is getting late, jumps on the Kwacker and takes off like a scalded dog. Dim as his bulb can be he knew he was about to take a shot to the melon with the steel sock puppet.
So what now?? Lie in wait and finish the puppet show, wait till he finishes his end of the deal with "Skyshot" and then settle up??? I mean, I am at a loss here.....I will say this though, I see him buying any extended swingarm parts for a GSXR and I will settle it right there.......
:ummm:
