We just bought a place on the beach in Puerto Rico. So i'll be there this winter and want a new bike when i come back to the states next year. So i'll be posting later a list of "Farkles" that i'll be selling and the bike with what i'll be leaving on it. Not leaving for awhile so i'm in no big hurry. ....http://www.kawasakiversys.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20013
On the beach in San Juan? Is it in Isla verde, Condado perhaps.
I grew up close to the beach. I went to middle school and high school right in the Condado area. In my senior year in HS my school teachers used to tell me that I would not accomplish anything if I kept wasting my time surfing at "la ocho", Pine Grove and at the reef in front of Ocean Park. I guess they were wrong. I quit surfing while in college after a really bad wipe out surfing at la pared and ended up with a triple major from the University of Puerto Rico. Surfing taught me how to be persistent and to value life.
Don't have a clue..The Girlfriend came home for 2 weeks and told me we just got a place at the beach in San Juan. So i threw out " Hey since we just bought a house i didn't know about,I guess thats means i get a new motorcycle" She said Okay so life is good.
Wow, have you considered the V1000 but there is also a lot of great options out there but i am sure you will have fun with whatever you choose and you will keep the American economy going once you add all the mods to your new bike.
All the best and don't be a stranger when you go, hopefully will catch up with you in person one day.
I saw a Triumph at the dealership. Really Really want one but won't make that decision till i see the V1000. But Kawai might make that decision for me if they don't bring it here. But i have started my farkle list for the Triumph.:guilty:
Anyone heard from weljo2001.
We had agreed I was purchasing the Bewolf radiator guard back on the 13th. He said he was going to ship that Monday.
I have not heard from him since. I tried pming, and email both to no avail.
I hope he is alright.

Did you ship your Versys to PR? I am moving there in May next year and wondering, if you did ship it, who you used and what it cost. If you are still around in May maybe I can take whatever parts you have left. How do you feel the Versys does in PR? I am hoping it will help with the traffic issues I hear about.
Story, not to hijack Weljo's thread (hope he comes back to visit us soon), but I can say that I lived in Puerto Rico for eight years, never owned a car while I was there but owned three different motorcycles during that time, and while this was pre-Versys, I think the Versys would be ideal for life there.
You want something nimble and narrow, for getting through traffic. Don't need long-range comfort because the island is only 100 miles long. Don't need off-road ability because all the roads are paved (though not always good pavement). Something not too expensive or exotic makes sense, to keep service easier and potential losses from traffic incidents low.
Shipping was quite reasonable back when I did it, but that was many years ago. The bigger expense is you have to pay an import tax and it must be titled and registered in P.R. before you can get it off the docks.
Joseph did i think ride with some guys from Texas at times, do any any of you have his cell phone number and give him a call and get back to us, would try ring from here if I had his personal number.
Wow, have been here a while! I miss weljo and stagehand! These forum are really different that way. Here one day gone the next. :thumbdown:
I'll never forget weljo burning that $100 bill! :thumb: I laughed so hard! :thumb: All the memories! :thumb:
When I first got here I had a mullet and the fellow riders said please get rid of it and I did. Now I have a great girl friend and I'm clean cut, but still not completely normal. This is an awesome forum! :thumb:
Please stop by guys, we all would like to hear from ya! :thumb:
Maybe he just decided to sell the bike as a whole, just wished he would have said something, instead he said he was sending the parts to me via pm, and then nothing ever showed up.
I don't know him but if he's like me I had a hard time going online at BadWeb after selling my Buell, I miss that bike but what had to be had to be. It still hurts though.
