wonder why he is selling
 
It is a 2003 with under 5000 miles, he hardly ever rides the thing. If he sells it it is likely he will not miss a garage ornament.

lulz good point
 
Cant argue with either "winslow" or "ROTHLESBURGHER" motorcycle joke. But reality is it's a crotch rocket, PASS......

How long has he had this? Just wondering because it's odd that Ben caught flack about riding, but Silverback never caught any. Or is it just because Ben wrecked his & James didn't?
 
He is in bidding war with Ben Roethlisberger...

jay williams is a dark horse in the bidding race

He's had it for several years, and he did catch flack when he first posted about it on facebook. I want to say it was around 2010-2011

Johnny Manziel should ask a question.
 
This is the best part of the listing:

"There are no test rides. My insurance will not cover me if you crash it nor will your insurance cover what I would do to you if you did crash it."

I can just picture the Brown's fan being suplexed after reading that.
 
Maybe because he's pushing 40 and realizes he looks ridiculous on it.

I disagree with that statement. As an old crotch rocket rider guys do not look ridiculous on sport bikes, they do however look dumb on those harley inspired choppers that handle like a buick with 2 flats and have the rider in the haircut or dentist chair position, throw in some ape hangers and you really have something that looks like it should be ridden by a person with the brains of a baboon.

Many folks riding these days seem to be trying too hard.

Many folks, these days, take their bike out less than 500miles a year. Then while doing so, want to be seen as some veteran tough BIKER. The bike is generally over sized and they are out of practice. I see it all the time, ever hear of "STURGIS", gives me a great view of the overall sampling of the biker. YES, trying to hard, as in yoiiikkkeees, I don't want to crash........

That to me is just funny. My present motorcycle that I bought new in 2006 has over 230,000 miles on it, that is not a typo 230,000 miles I ride mine.

Good for you wingman. Obviously, you live in a better conducive climate to ride. Here where I live, you dont get a long riding season. 3-4K is a decent season for most. I average about 7.5K. One year i had 14,700, exception to the rule. There are a LOT here and everywhere else, that get near + or - 500miles. For every 5k rider, I can show you 10-500miler. "Sturgis" proves this theory, I've talked and specifically ask. Most are a little bashfull, but I get it out of them.

good climate and heated clothing in the winter, for me the bike is my transportation of choice, I try to make it my primary transportation method.

There are lots of guys that own bikes. Some that are riders when they get the time. It is tough to go to work when the temperature is over 90 or 100 with out ac on a bike. It is also tough to do so in the rain etc. I have my doubts about some events as being good judges of riders vs owners. Sturgis is something many of us refer to as trailer week much like Daytona bike week, you can buy t shirts that commemorate the events calling it trailer week. In comparison to the Harley event I saw very few trailers at the Goldwing ralley, more than 15000 bikes showed up at the one in Madison, WI. I saw trailers but most were pulled by the motorcycles.

When I arrived one of the guys who was staying at the same hotel was looking at my bug coated bike and said you came up here from Texas, how long did that take. My reply was all day, a bit over 1200 miles. There are guys that put miles on their bikes and more than you think. One group is here you might like to visit the site http://www.ironbutt.com/about/default.cfm?CFID=12992088&CFTOKEN=24142780.

I am not being judgmental or putting anyone down just showing the other side of the coin. Also likes and Karma to all the bikers regardless of what or how much you ride.:surprise:
