Finally....

[RobR]

I was able to pick up a slightly used T7 two weeks ago.  I had previously rented one from Maverick Motosports in Missoula, MT, documented here:  

 

Well, they put their rental fleet up for sale, and I got one.  I was able to grab the one that I had rented, with only 1964 miles on it. The problem, I live in Alabama, and the bike is in Montana. So I flew to Montana, completed the purchase, and rode it home. I left Missoula late Friday afternoon and made my way to Denver on Sunday. I needed to be in Dallas for work Monday, so the bike got dropped in a storage unit. I flew back to Denver Thursday and rode the rest of the trip this weekend. Put an additional 2,317 miles on it.

 

It has some damage to the swingarm, which was likely caused by me dropping it without panniers on it when I rented it. I dropped it and didn't realize the exhaust was rubbing. The issue is that the dealer didn't catch it, and neither did I until I had ridden it across the country. I bent it back quickly, but I need to hit that scuff with some jbweld and then design a 3d protector to print up.

 

Let the mods begin!.
