Since you are all coming out of the woodwork here's my '05 GTO, APS twin turbo, t56 Magnum short ratio. Super fun car

I love wheeling and dealing and fixing old bikes. I have an 07 Suzuki Bandit 1250 as a daily rider/long distance rig. Most recently I picked up (as a project) this 98 vtr 1000f. I rode it and it seemed kike the high speed jet was clogged, consistent with what the seller had told me.

Upon digging into it I found that the airbox was completely full of acorns and the air filter was clogged with mouse house. Every vacuum line is crumbling apart, the fuel lines are rock hard, and there's an oil leak that was not noticed or disclosed. I'm not too upset, it gives me a reason to wrench on the thing. But it's a good case point for doing your due diligence with buying old bikes.

I think this one's a keeper. It's got so much torque down low, and once my carb parts and filter arrive I'll really see what it can do!
