Streetfighter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Street Fighter (disambiguation).
A streetfighter is a sport bike that is customized by removing the fairing, and making other changes that result in an overall more aggressive look.[
My loan began in March, 2008. Payoff was March, 2013. Over the last year I have made larger payments, sometimes in excess of 3x the amount owed. I just wrote my final check for $452.62. Man, does it feel good! I'm awaiting the title and money saved every month, but I must say, this is my bike now - not the bank's. It's paid off 10 months early. I love this bike. It's my first bike. I learned on it. I crashed it. I chopped it. I painted it. I destroyed it in a lot of people's opinions, but I love it. I've learned so much by just fvcking with it. Sometimes I'll go out to the garage, get in my craftsman stool and just look at it. It was a Streetfighter in progress from day 1 and I never even knew. This bike has never been serviced by Harley-Davidson. I don't wear HD shirts, I don't have stickers on my truck advertising HD and the bike doesn't either. I'm not a "biker", I just ride a bike. Had to get on here to rant about the payoff. I'm tired of loans, now. When your day comes, you'll know how it feels.
Thanks everyone!
SF

Good for you SF and the clip on's do look better up higher. It does feel good to pay off a loan, but I have never had one on a bike-I always pay cash for them. You have your own style for sure, but that is what makes your bike so cool.

Hey SF, looks like your white-trash chameleon is definitely holding up .... there were some initial concerns about fuel spillage affecting the rattle-can finish .. did you add any clearcoat or is that just the rustoleum product from the can?

Good deal...now it's time to customize your bike - looks too stock...
JK man - saw your bike morph along the way & you've done a great job. I'm sure you'll do more wrenching, or even trade-up...?? Ride on!

Congrats on getting the bike paid off, SF! I know how good that feels. Took me a lot of years paying off a lot of loans, including ten + years of student loans, and every time you get one paid off you feel that much better. Enjoy your freedom from this one and continued good luck with the others!
