Ahhh, I missed the OVER bit. Well, technically, the Kwak is 1043cc, but it still doesn't qualify, since it wasn't even available in 2009 anyway.

What's OMB?

LOL!

Well, I have an update. (no, I'm still not telling you what it is).

The seller just got the bike back from the shop with some good news (it's alive and running great) but a little bad news (it needs a new fuel sending unit and there was a little rust in the tank, (so seller is suggesting to Kreme** it) but I'll have to look inside the gas tank with a match* to make sure). The bike also has a D&D exhaust on it but the seller has the Yoshi pipe he bought it with for me as well. And... interestingly enough when he picked up the bike from the shop it had an offer card on it to buy it but is still honouring our sale (good man).

So I'll be picking the bike up (TT&R as well) on Friday (all day Friday as it will be 4 1/2 hours there and back, plus the gov't office stuff, argh)! Then I'll post a few photos of it. :D

I told Mike I thought he gave too much away with his clues but I see you guys are still up for a guessing game. :mrgreen:

Yep, Friday when he is riding his new "blank" down from Clebourne I'll be in the 'Stang with the tunes blaring... can't wait!!! The question is - who will be a blur in who's mirror? ;)
Andrea :sun:

I agree! That's why we got the new 305hp 3.7 mustang. Same horsey's as the 2010 V8. Giddy up partner! And I can attest that Andrea uses all those ponies too. :pirate:
