Hey Collective Wisdom of BARF:
I've decided that it's time for my V-Strom 1000 to find a new home. The bike's got 118k on the clock. I've added luggage, custom windscreen, PowerCommander 3, and center stand. Tires and drive chain is new from Doug at Santa Clear Cycle. Cosmetically the bike is in good shape and has always been garaged. This community has been good to me and the VStrom over the last 15 years. The bike has a small fork leak and a small backfire on hard deceleration. No oil leaks and it does not burn oil that I know.
I'm not looking to get every cent I could from it. I'd like to get some opinion on what the best way is to pay it forward here. I know a bike at 10,000 miles is "high mileage" much less than 100,000. I'd like the bike to go to a good home somehow. I know the Cars for Kids (and similar programs) likely nets out a $500 tax deduction, but I'd rather it go to something other than the auction block.
Thoughts?
