How's everyone doing around here. I have not been on here since I sold my KLR last year and moved to Texas, then Iowa.

Lots new here.
Bougt a 94 VFR last year, sold it in April it was beat up from the feet up. Put 5K miles on it and made $200

Before I sold it I bought an 07 Zuk Bandit 1250abs used out of Louisiana for 6K, shipped it to Iowa in January. GREAT motor, had some issues the dealer did not want to deal with so after 4500 miles I traded it in the beginning of August for $6500 and kept all extras.

Traded it in on a new leftover 06 Triumph Sprint ST, and have 4500 miles on it already including 3K in 7 days, 12 states, etc. Details http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374699 I LOVE this bike and have not done anything to it and no plans to unless it's a Rusell all day long seat.

To further round out the "gotta always have 2 bikes on hand" syndrome I got this over the 4th of July. 2001 KTM Duke II. It makes me do stupid things, it will get me in trouble and I almost sold it after a month. 100% hooligan bike. I hope to do a track day next year to hone my skills.

I read your AdvRider thread. Cool stuff, Chris!. And yeah, long time no see. Cool to see you got 2 cool bikes now. I've joined the 2 bike crowd now with my 2006 Vstrom DL650. Been having a blast on it. That Triumph is a wonderful machine I hear. Cruise triple digits and not even know it.
