Jim, That seriously sucks! I've always lusted after your S2, it's one of the nicest around. If I had the 8K, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Good luck.. Brad |

Jim, It's NRHS not NHRS and Jon at NRHS did your heads not Aaron. |

I can't believe the speed that the other S2 (street and strip) got snapped up that this one hasn't flown out the door faster (bigger motor notwithstanding). Post a pic, Jim. Maybe dyno numbers? That "bike alone" price is the same as I paid you for mine, considering the way the US/Canada exchange rate has moved. Say... maybe you'll just trade me. I so wish I could...... |

Well it turns out I do actually have the cash to buy it. I forgot about about my son's college tuition fund. I'm trying to convince him to take another year off. He's agreed if I give him an allowance and don't charge him rent anymore. Further work required. |

Jim, I hate to see you sell your S2 but am glad Don was able to buy it. I look forward to seeing it rip through the mountains of Colorado. Frank |
