After riding my 09 Uly X all last season, I was really missing my '09 12Ss that I unloaded this past spring. There's something about that wide-open breezy feel that comes with the short flyscreen. I told myself that if I were to find a screamin' deal on another '09 9 or 12 that I'd scoop it up. Just picked up this new ride on Monday. Here it is:

-8K on the odometer
-all stock and generally fantastic condition

The previous owner took a low-speed dive going into her driveway and knocked off the tip of the clutch lever, bent the shift pedeal, and knocked off the rider L peg so I have a few low cost replacements to add to my already planned mods:
1) new rider pegs
2) new clutch cable
3) new shift pedal
4) drain tank & replace w/non-oxy & stabilizer
5) new plugs & oil
6) tail chop
7) 5-0dro sliders
8) non-stock exhaust
9) new Aprilia turn signals
10) new mirrors - either Tuono or basic bar enders
11) K&N
12) Right side scoop
13) TechSpec frame grippers
14) De-badge

A lot of little miscellaneous items to take care of, but I'm excited to start seeing it slowly come together as we approach the spring. I'm definitely keeping my Uly. I ditched my 12Ss because I didn't think having two bikes was reasonable. I've since changed my mind on what "reasonable" is and have managed to come up with all kinds of justifications for having two bikes. My wife is awesome, and gave me the thumbs-up.
 
Updates have started! Great to have two weeks off of work (I'm a teacher), the first three of which were without my kids. I could have cleaned up the house a bit, but instead I made a bloody mess in my garage!
-changed oil, filter, primary & plugs
-new clutch lever
-new L rider peg
-new turn signals (Aprilia)
-fender eliminator (God bless JB Weld putty)
-LED brake light w/license light
-bar end mirrors
-Hawk exhaust coming on Saturday!

Check out my new signals + homemade tail chop:
