    Somebody talk me out of this...

    Goddamn, I want this bike:
    http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=533186



    Somebody please remind me how I can't afford it... and how maintenance-intensive this bike is... and what shitty gas mileage that carbureted 950 gets... and how totally impractical this bike is... and how I have no good way of getting it to Vermont in January...

    Dammit. Probably the nicest-set-up Super Enduro I've ever seen, and the price is great (relatively speaking). The location and timing, not so much.

    what's an awful lot of beer. 2 or 3 30 packs? that's a lot cheaper than having it shipped.
