Default Bye Bye!

Well Gang, it's goodbye for me but only in car. I sold my Vette so will only be on two wheels for a while. It's going to be strange not having a Vette as this was my 4th vette in the last 8 years but you never know there might be another one day. Not sure what will replace it but likely another bike for starters and I'll go from there. I will have a couple odds and ends I'll post up for sale and the new owner is also asking me to sell the OEM chrome wheels with Nitto invo's in mint condition. No curb rash etc. I'll post it all in the for sale later. Cheers to a great and fantastic crew of people whom I think of as family and enjoy a great many friendships with. Thanks for the years of fun, laughs, and especially friendship.

Be careful on those 2 wheels there Mike. I'm sure you know how dangerous they can be, specially from other wacked out drivers

Whoever bought your Z sure got a beauty, hope to see you around, again, be sure to take care on the bike

PS: I've always thought you road bike guys are a little crazy and allot ballsey, specially the GP road racers, man, those guys are the iron men of motorsports

I won't disappear from the forum as too many friends here. I have a 600RR right now and hoping to pick up a Harley VRod muscle edition and an 11 repsol 1000RR as well. Just got hit hard by the bike bug again. Not to worry Mike as I'll be sort of careful lol.

Mike, it's not bye bye, just show up at some of the meets on a bike, pretty sure no one will send you away, some might even find your bikes really cool.

I'm interested in the wheels, have to do some research how well they work on a C5. The one I have on the car now are cheap replicas and the fronts have some issues.

Talk to you soon.
