Title: Long time comeing
Post by: BillTheCat on March 22, 2008, 09:00:04 pm
Well she finally got here. :o   Unloaded her off the shipping truck at 5:am on Thursday
There is no way I would have suspected a (Dork) kid from NJ. could have done so much damage to a 2005 Bullet 500 Classic in only 1663.00 miles. Rusty beat up and would not even start to have Juce anywhere with a brand new Sears Diehard. Carb froze up. oil leaking pile of ebay junk!!!  Well got her fired up today after lots of TLC and she is going to recover with a lot more to come ;D Wish me luck boys I'm going to need it ;)

        The good part is that these things have a very large learning curve...

I've been nursing my 2000 military bullet back to health. You learn a lot in the process and if you like to tinker, its all part of the fun :)
