Sweet, Frank! I can't wait to see it. Are they supplying the bike, or do you have one? (Message edited by Rich on January 11, 2011) |

Nice bike... What prompted this? Is this going to be a fourth bike in the garage? |

John, you sound like Nancy. She asked me am I selling one and i asked her when she buys new jewelry does she sell old ones...HAHA Rich, I specified I wanted matching frame/engine #'s and Todd didn't have one in his possession. He looked around and found a 1967 Triumph in Missouri which fit the bill. He has it in his shop and starting to collect parts and mock it up. He is also building 3 other bikes which is more than he usually builds at one time. That is one reason it'll take 6 months. Frank |

Wow!! Looks nice Frank. I finally have a job. I'll be a District Sales Manager for Florida Today (contingent on me passing the drug screen). The pay isn't the greatest and the hours are horrible (11:00 PM to 8:00 AM) with Friday, Saturday and Sunday required, but it's a job. The other nice thing is it's 10 minutes from the house and I will receive $90/week in auto allowance. I'll either have Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday off, so I'm hopeful to catch up with you guys on a more regular occasion. I'm pursuing another venture on the side which I'll tell you about after I get off the phone with them this morning. My parents live in Bonita Springs during the winter and have neighbors there that run a waste and recycling consulting company and they were just licensed in FL. They are looking for someone to generate leads. It's a great concept and perhaps some of you could provide me with some prospective leads. As I said, I'll tell you more after my conversation today. Talk to you all soon. Paul |

Paul congratulations! (I guess) Frank... Didn't mean to sound like Nancy. Was just wondering if like Rich you got tired of one are replacing it or of you are going for a different bike for each day of the week... It's must be Monday, Frank's riding his Buell! |

Good news Paul. Sounds like things are looking up!! Just joking with you John. I really don't want/need 4 bikes but I wouldn't know which one to get rid of so I'll have to keep them!! |

LOL!!!! Nothing like a tall-boy PBR drinking opera singer! Actually the rear Strada was only $84.99. They only had the front for $59 at the Colonial store in Orlando, so I got the rear at the Melbourne store. I'd call Melbourne to see what they have left. I couldn't resist the deal although they weren't in the budget at this time. Hope to see everyone soon. |

Oh yeah.....to further sweeten the deal the kid at the Melbourne store forgot to charge me for mounting (the tire machine in Orlando was broken) as he entered the SKU for an item that was 99 cents instead of the mounting, so the total charge for a brand new rear Strada with road hazard? $110.12! I fully expect to pay mounting for the front, but I'm probably going to go down there on Thursday evening again in hopes the same kid is working. We'll see. |

Thanks Paul! I picked up both front and rear tires. They shipped the rear in from Miami for free! |

I took my front down to the Melbourne store last night for mounting. They had one set of the Stradas left that would fit our bikes when I was there last night. The price is certainly right as I paid just over $200 for both tires, mounting and road hazard insurance. |

any ethanol-free gas stations in the area? http://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=FL |

Just got a tank full of Ethanol-free 93 octane gas in north Cocoa - $3.59/gallon. Watch the accuracy of the maps on that link Sam sent. It was way off the mark for this location, but I was stubborn and finally found it. The address was correct as listed. |
