....Or at least the Kirby's.
In light of Rod's recent transportation aquisition, I had to jump off the fence and get serious about finding a 'scooter' of my own! I found 3 of interest locally, one each in San Antonio, Austin, and San Marcos. All were C50 Suziki Boulevards with different accesories. I arranged to meet with the girl that owned the one in Austin after work tomorrow. The owner in San Marcos called me this morning and I went to his apartment after work this evening.
This was the most heavily accessorized of the 3 and the only one that had both the windshield and saddlebags that I wanted. A loan was set up with the credit union before I went to the bike to give me a better bargaining position. His asking price was $6500 and, after both the 'Boss' dropping by to see it and riding it to my bud's motorcycle repair shop for the once over, I offered him $6100. We will go by the credit union Monday morning to finalize the paperwork and get a cashier's check cut As soon as I have that in hand, I will call Darin at work and arrange to close the deal. By noon Monday she should be sitting in my driveway.
2006 Suzuki C50C Boulevard (819 cc)
After we made the deal, he asked me what size jacket I wore. Said he had a couple of 'official' Boulevard leather jackets and a vest. The vest and men's jacket fit perfectly and the lady's jacket is small enough for the Granddaughter to wear. He threw them in with the deal at no additional cost. The price of the 3 in the Suzuki catalog is ~$700 new. Will have to do some more checking in the catalog and total the cost of all the accessories added to the bike.
