Yeah Russ, the Olive Garden where we had lunch (on your dime ) is only about 25 min. away - 75 and 575. I cranked up the Kymco today; ran a little rough (from sitting) so I added some fresh fuel and fuel injector cleaner (I have no idea if that stuff even works) and let it run for a bit. I'll check it again tomorrow to see if it did any good. It's an '08 with only 4k miles. I paid 3400 for it @ 3-4 yrs ago but bought the Burgman a few months later and consequently never rode it much after that. It had new tires when I bought it and I put a new battery in. Always garaged and never been down as far as I know. Haven't checked ebay or Craigslist, but they're probably going for @ 2500. Yours for $1500 but YOU clean the carb if needed. You'd also need a UHaul bike trailer (14.95 for 1 day - probably more for 1 way). I also have a ton of vintage gear, stringed and electronic, in my storeroom that you can pick through and take what you want or can use (free, of course).

Dave, as far as work is concerned, I'm kinda out of the loop since I stopped gigging about a year or so ago, but I still have some working musician friends and I'll ask around. You could probably also check with Jim Eschelmann (sp), 'The PRO' who I believe lives in nearby Kennesaw. He is probably more familiar with the local clubs as most of my experience has been in the jazz clubs in Marietta, Decatur, and Atlanta. Anyhow, hope you get a chance to stop by for a visit (and we'll hold Russ to his promise .
