yeah i would kinda like an update cause i just pawned off the ninja on someone that REALLY wanted it... and i'm looking for a new toy... mid to late 90s Katana 600... i've played with Kaw, Yah, and Honda... now its time for a different brand i think. i'll be around just look me up... i live up in the dc area so i can attend and help load and stuff if you want... or just hang out...
- JackoliciousLegs - 06-07-2004
I'd also like a bike seriously if I can get one $500 or below (Jack <- also in NoVa). Let us know!
- JohnC - 06-08-2004
Same here - tracking this thread with interest...
- Kaan - 06-08-2004
maybe i need to look for a nice F4 or R6 since all my friends are blasting me for wanting to step down to a beginer 600 sport bike lol... i must be getting old... coughing up a 900 ninja for a 600 Katana lol

There's an R6 listed on the bulletin board at my workplace - 2003, Silver, 3k miles for 6.5k. If you're interested I could put you in contact with the seller.
- Kaan - 06-10-2004
everyone is on the R6 kick... so they hold their value. everywhere i look they are just about as expensive as they are when you go to a yahmaha dealer for a new one. my bike debate will continue... but i'm not paying 6.5k for a bike i dont know how it went through break in... and when you can get a new one for another thousand or less.
- JackoliciousLegs - 06-10-2004
I want a bike for less than $1000... SO BAD...

I actually JUST got off the phone with DPW today, I didnt even realize these posts were here.
They said they got a great load of bikes for auction THIS TUESDAY June 15. The guy told me that he has no idea what kind of bikes they are but he said its worth coming down. He said theres a 3 wheeler and a 4 wheeler.
I asked the guy 3 times if he could tell me ANYTHING about the bikes- price range, year range.. he just said trust him and come down. I'm gonna call again and do some name dropping and find out what they have, I know the district manager pretty well, if I mention his name they all shake in their boots.

Heres the only problem. The workers there are fucking idiots and they have no idea what the hell is going on.. no joke. this is the most fucked up government department there is. You gotta walk them through everything you need done. I would even call the day before and make sur the bikes are still up for auction.
I'm going with a 2 bike trailer, I'm gonna get something around a grand or so. I'll bring back a good fixxer upper if you guys are serious.
I'll give you directions if you want.
- G.Irish - 06-10-2004
I'll bring Camel Tow!!! Oh yeah, and give directions please
- Mike - 06-10-2004
I'll may go down, I'm actually interested in the 4-wheeler.
- Kaan - 06-10-2004
bling!
- Martin - 06-10-2004

Blue Plains DPW dept of pub works
5001 Sheperd Parkway
SW
20032
66East turns into Constitution Ave
go about 4 miles
Turn Right on 9th Street and go through the tunnel
go about 1/2 mile
and make a LEFT onto the first 295S exit.
go about 1/3 mile and
Take the SOUTH CAPITAL AVE Exit to the right
its like 6 miles down the road.. its pretty close to the naval research base... I only know it visually so I cant give anymore directions past that.
you gotta be there at 8am to start bidding, traffic isnt too bad. Inspeciton starts at 7am.. you can get there at like 7:50 and have no problem..
bring 100 bucks cash for an entry deposit(refundable)
maybe you can give me a ring and we can go together. 703 786 7184 I live in Mclean

a tuesday morning? sheesh... do they hold these often? i might need more lead time with work... damn them!
- Martin - 06-10-2004
first and third tuesdays of the month
they dont have bikes every time though.
you gotta call the DAY BEFORE and make sure theres bikes because they randomly cancel the bike auctions with like 3 days notice.
as soon as i can figure out how to pics ill put some up of my cheap bikes
- Mike - 06-10-2004

- JackoliciousLegs - 06-11-2004
AWWW MAN... I can't go that day, I'm already skipping out early from work
... I think I'm going to have to wait for the end of the summer to get a bike too for $$$$ reasons... ....
