Jason: great call on the emotional side of the whole thing. The price is right, even if I do have to take care of a couple of things. From the looks of the bike, I don't think too much could be wrong unless the PO just dogged the hell out of it. After talking to the guy, I don't believe that to be the case. He rode back and forth between NV and CA on it a few times in the couple of years he's owned it. He said the original owner babied th hell out of it. Unfortunately, I'm 10,000 miles away and can't get there to look at the bike. I may have to take a chance on this one. Thanks for the reply.

Clay: great call on your part as well. I will definitely change out the sprockets and chain. I did some reading on a TL board I found after your reply and learned what a broken chain can do the bike when the R's are up. WRT the clutch, it's only got 3k miles on it. Of course, the first thing I do when I get home is change all the fluids out. Thanks for the reply.

So far, I'm looking to refresh brakes, change fluids and change sprockets/chain. Emotions are not helping me be rational, so I'll try to be a little more level headed, but DAYUM I love this bike. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
