Forgive me for posting 24 months after a thread began but I haven't been back to the forum in a couple years (since I sold CCX-3152 in 2009). I came back in today when I got a hit on a long since forgotten part I had for sale in the classifieds. I might still have the part, who knows.
In my case life got in the way. I didn't sell 3152 because I had to, a career change in 2006 made "spare time" for me something of a rarity and I found after 24 months in my nej job I had loogged fewer than 150 miles in my car. Walking past the car on my way to work at O'dark thirty and returning after night fell for two years was more painful than letting her go to someone who had the time to appreciate her. 3152's buyer was a former CSX owner that wanted to recapture his youth. I am sure he is enjoying her as much as I did.
My current line of work is a little more rough and tumble than my last and we have a large population of "motorcycle enthusiats" so what spare time I do have is still spent in the wind. I have actually found a bike that is much like driving a 427 Cobra. The XB Buell is a loud tempermental bile that can be made to produce similar power and torque with a 7,000 RMP redline but a fairly limited top speed. It runs hot, smells and pukes
oil occasionally and makes me smile while doing it.
God I miss this place. Some say you can never go home again and maybe that is true but I've already decided my next car will be an modern FE based Kirkham. See you then...
