Default RC51 Illness

I broke a tear when I sold my nicely set up 2001 RC and will soon be owning another 2001 set up even nicer with half the mileage I had!!! Can't wait to rip it up next season..

how many two time owners are here???

I kicked myself almost as soon as I helped the guy roll my first 2004 onto his truck. That's part of the reason I have three of them now...

a few years ago I bought a rough 2001, fixed it and sold it for a profit....that was a bad move

this spring found a really clean and nicely set up 04 NH edition. I enjoyed the bike so much that I bought an 02 and built it as my race bike

On a sad note, my job situation may cause me to sell one this spring..

Basically I have only owned one but considering how many parts I've thrown at this piggy I would say I have owned 3 as well!

Default rc51 illness

Bought my first last year-an 01 with only 3750 miles and lots of extras. Wrecked it cuz some IDIOT ran out into the road. Got it tore apart and plan on fixing it this winter. Couldn't go without an RC, so I bought an 04 Hayden in March with 8500 miles and will never part with either. I have the illness BADDDDDDDDDDD!
