I saw the bike - it's awesome and it's 3 blocks from our place!  If all goes according to plan, I will have it in-hand on Monday night!  It's a very short ride to my brother's garage where it will reside.

VERY cool track bike - Vortex rearsets, 520 chain and sprockets.  GPR steering dampner, ss brake lines up front, track plastics.  Even the tires have some good life left in them!  He's throwing in a rearstand and extra bits.   Suspension was set up by PPS for a 160lb rider, so I will have to dial it up a bit for my weight. 

It has a little crash damage on the starboard side of the fairing, little scuffing on the barend on that side as well.  No front fender - I hope this isn't a big deal because evidently the original owner rearended someone on the street, and the mounting tabs for the fender on the fork snapped off on either side. 

Anyway it's a solid bike at a solid price.  Very excited today!  I'll have a chance to test it out on Friday Oct. 2 at Streets of Willow!

Jim - maybe I'll need new leathers, the kind with the hump in the back after all!   ;D

Oooooh!  Get a dainese suit with a cool hump.  The hump really makes you look fast in pictures.
