want to trade ACE 750 for a "T" |
Lead | ||
|
I have a 2003 ACE 750, Orange in color,15k miles . My bike is in excellent shape with lots of accessories on it. I can send pics if interested. As with most
of us, my bikes are daily riders, especially now with gas prices!!! I have a Goldwing/sidecar rig that I use for my kidhauler-Pickup!!! I have decided that I
want a Bagger as my other ride also. I looked into hardbagging my 750 Untill I saw a VT1100t at a gas station!!!!!! I had never seen one until then!!! Yes I am
hooked! I have been watching them on ebay and the price for most of them are in the same range as the newer 750's are going for.
If any of you know someone that might be interested, send them my way!!!! Thanks, Scott |

Thanks guys! I am in Hopewell, Va., Just South of Richmond. Any Where or down the East Coast would work more than likely. I can Ride my bike there and the
"new" ACE back! I have thought about selling mine out right and buying a "T" which I still might do. But I will hold out for a swap first.
Thanks, Scott ACE forum Rat bastard # 1070 |

Thanks for the tip! I called him and he is looking to trade down and for a bike and cash. I don't have the budget for that right now, I am looking for an
even swap. My bike and the "t"'s are selling in the same ballpark too!!!!
I will keep looking, Scott |

still searching! | #8 | ||

I am still looking, I found one for sale 20 minutes from my house, but he isn't looking to trade, but he hasn't had any offers on his bike yet.... Also
one on ebay for the second time only a few hours from me and no bids again this time so far. I have talked to both sellers. maybe something will work out.

so much for trading! I took an unfamiliar exit ramp way too fast and highsided my bike!! I ended up with a broken elbow,wrist, and Toe and tons of bruising. I
did have full riding gear on which saved alot of damage to me!!! My bike will probably total loss though. It is scraped up pretty bad on the left side,
handlebars crushed etc. I hate that it happened, but I am alive and learned a valuable lesson!!1, and just maybe I will get enough from insuranve to buy a
"T".........

Well, that's no fun! Glad you are still here to tell about it. Kudos on the safety gear. It's expensive in some ways........invaluable in others.
Everyone makes mistakes, now and then, but try not to repeat it.

I bought one!!! | #13 | ||

I finally got a "T", a 1998 model with 13000 miles on it. Found it in the local trading post. between the insurance settlement and selling my ace
750 to my brother-n-law, I made out pretty good. Picked it up tonight and brought it home, HUGE difference in weight!!! Ride quality seemd to be considerably
better! Wife says I now have an old mans bike!!!

As you come to know your T more and more you can come to this "Old Man's Club" for any information and advice you might need. Don't forget to record your serial number with Skip and post a picture of the bike in the Members bike section. Okay I've got to go and sit in my rocker.....its time for my milk and cookies.

Thanks, So far I am loving it. Vance & Hines pipes, K&N filter and Highway bar are the only modifications. ( So far!) Would it be correct to assume
that it would have had to have been jetted when the pipes and filter were done? That is what I had to do to My 750 ACE. The man I purchased it from didn't
know what had been done to it by the first owner- I am the third. After crashing My 750 getting off the interstate, this young " Old man"
appreciates the laid back cruiser a little more!
