It came with a ( Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, Bike Cover, custom Black n Blue paint job, Cargo net, Alarm system, Owners manual, and his info for any questions in the future ). All for $2,200. ill upload pics when ASAP

One thing I would suggest is

One thing I would suggest is to not use the safety gear that came with it. Jacket and Gloves may be okay, but definitely replace the helmet. There are a couple of reasons for this:

1) It only takes a drop or two from waist height onto concrete to compromise the integrity of the helmet. There won't necessarily be scratches to the finish to indicate a drop. We're talking about protecting your brain here.

2) As you wear the helmet, it will mold itself to your head. The one you just got has already been worn enough to mold itself to the old owner's head (only takes 6-8 hrs of wear to start breaking it in).

Don't forget a new helmet/gloves/jacket for your sweetie too.

Enjoy your new ride!

Elwood is right. It looks like you can upload them to BBM, but I've never been able to make it work.

If you go to www.photobucket.com, you can upload your pics to there. Once they are uploaded, information showing the HTML code is available right under the picture.

Best of luck!
