I finally sold the 996 motor. 1400 bucks. Nice, low mileage, solid motor, with about 1500.00 worth of flywheel, pulleys, and cam-degreeing work in it. It'll probably run forever if it's maintained properly.
And what will I do with the money?
2 sets of tires, which I will use up my first weekend, and several spare sprockets, which will last me maybe half the season. That's it. I've traded away a tangible asset (hell, a working, technologically advanced, mechanical piece of art, from an icon of a motorcycle, no less) at a bargain-basement price, for consumables which will quickly evaporate into the ether.
Someone shoot me, please.
And, please, please, PLEASE, stay away from the track, so this never happens to you.
