It was listed by someone in Kentucky.

May not have been the bike, where was it stolen from anyway?

From Pappy's past comments about it, I would never buy a racer's old bike!!!! It seemed to be a little rougher than he thought it would be!!

I remember seeing Pappy's "Ballance Series" R at The Quad Shop. That thing was very nice.

i cant blame ballance for a poor fitting frame etc. that is what they were at the time and i had never owned one much less been able to get alot of feedback on the lrd attitude frame etc.

i payed $8 grand and parted it for over $11 grand so i did ok.

my friend has a lrd attitude frame and nothing seams to fit right on his either, and he can't get the no-link rear shock setup right, its either too stiff, too soft, too bouncy, I'm told its something about the frame geometry and how the no-link just doesn't work right on it.

I almost got 3 more bikes, 2 yz490's and some yamaha 175 for $300. I don't have the room for the bikes, unless I would have bought them and traded them for a another 350x.
