    So on a completly side note I got a call today from a guy who wants to trade my 2008 Hypermotard for his 2004 999s. I am seriously thinking of doing it as even though i enjoy the Hyper its not my favorite bike. It wheelies like a mo-fo but It sucks for long rides and I can never quite get comfortable riding it in the twisties. Both bikes blue book value is about identicle, his has 13,500 miles and mine has 7,500.

    What do you guys think?

    OK GUYS... We are going to this one above in scottsdale. It opens at 8, I will be there at 7:45. The guy is shifting around some stuff to get us on a lift so we will be good to go. They do have a coil compressor. Hopefully with all of us working on it things will go quickly.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone there... http://g.co/maps/my4rj
