A friend of mine is enlisting my help to get his 2009 Yamaha Raider. It's bone stock, the sought-after Liquid Silver color, almost perfect condition (small melted fabric patch on one pipe). Comes with an uninstalled windshield and an uninstalled Shark motorcycle radio. 9500, or if you pitch in an extra 500 you get a free trailer. Not just a motorcycle one, it's a full on bumper/hitch pull type with a wood deck, loading ramps built in, and two motorcycle chocks on it already. I put the lights on it myself earlier this year (still need to be soldered).

I think you should buy it. You have been bike-less long enough!

You're telling me... I've been jobless for too long to not be bikeless though...

What happened to the shop that had the dyno and the big dog?

Heh that was last summer, and wasn't a dog, was a gator...
Around here if you're not absolutely essential to running the shop you get laid off every winter, and this spring it's been so slow they didn't hire back.

That's too bad. You sound like a very good mechanic with good work ethics. You are certainly very helpful here and an asset to the forum.

Hyperr I really really do appreciate the compliment. I respect your opinion so that means a lot to me.

And Z-man, thanks to you too! Raider I do like for sure, and wish I could afford it, but hey, it is what it is!
