People love to see my bike (when it's on the road).  Esp older guys (oops! my age...)  But tbh if I had a garage, I'd love to have a 650 for the longer hauls.

going to stash it at a friend's place in NJ for now and go out to work on it when I have time and try to get it back on the road.

so - in a van with a 2x6 board for a ramp?  or pay the extra for a 15' truck strictly for the low floor ez loading ramp?  maneuvering a trailer around the city is more than I feel like wrestling.

Repairs necessary: rebuild rear caliper (probably rear mc while I'm at it), new throttle grip, clean carbs and see where we are.  The ignition switch is wonky.  Might need a new one.  If you have one w/a key, let me know.

Nice. Thanks. Yeah, a truck will be easier in the city than screwing with a trailer on city streets.

Hi - I've been told I have to have my rd out of the apt bld garage by next Friday!  I've paid guys $200 before to move bikes, but was thinking maybe I can get a uhaul truck with a low floor and a ramp and do it myself.  Anyone done this lately?  I can't just put the bike on the street - it already got towed once because the inspection sticker was out.  F'n NYC traffic cops...  Yes, I'm in Manhattan, nyc.  Not even sure where i'm taking it yet.  To a friend's place if possible, or to Brooklyn and rent a spot in a vintage bike garage if I have to.  Fuck Me!!  I can't stand this shit.

Thanks for your helpful advice ;-)
