Just bought a low mile blue 2005. It's a true mileage 5300 mile, 1st generation, "I'll slide my ass if you want me too", version. The owner had it titled in their name since 2012. The title also reads right of survivorship with the same last name where it was bought from.
Yes it's been dropped but barely. It was one of those zero mile an hour, "she was too fat for her own good" things. Can't say the same for the bags, they look like they've been around a little, but nothing terrible. Just enough to take the edge off when the "did l do that" time comes. That may be a while though. The tailbox is going to get used this season. But the season I'm talking about is "pecan season". I have over 20 lbs worth that I want to take to a pecan cracking place. Not to lie about the wife but I'm thinking the tailbox full on nuts (30lbs) way out on it's tail is going to at least make an excuse for some full throttle takeoff multitasking? "But officer, I had to make sure it wouldn't flip with my supermodel on it". OK back to reality, there's no worry about flipping anything including my wallet for back tires. I don't plan on riding it like a jackass. Well, not a total one anyway. That's not where this machine shines. I've only had it a couple days but I can already see some "best bike ever" possibilities in this one. And I'm talking about over 20 bikes and 45 years of riding.
1st question. I'm looking for some touch up paint. What is the best match?
