congrats. got my first paycheck from my new gig this morning. it's nice to have real money again. i plan on blowing most of it on the car tomorrow.

also, $2500 tax return this year. i'm torn on whether to buy another motorcycle or an E34 M30 swap donor.

Are you actually in the market for an e34 m30 donor?
Sending you a pm.

if anything i want a 200lb 500cc bike

such a thing does not exist, that i know of. my Derbis were just over 200lbs and they are flyweight race-bike derivatives.

the new Ninja 300 is testing well against a lot of larger-displacement bikes.

who cares. that's in SC. the whole place sucks

You got pictures of your eta? I have 3 potential buyers lined up that are interested

Get a 600 cc bike as it's a great compromise between the starter Ninja's and the liter bikes. I've ridden liter bikes as well as the little 250s and hands down I like the flick ability of my 600. Ridden for over 20 years and there is one thing for sure you will crash at some point. Just depends on how long you ride. So with that in mind it's all about mitigating the effects of the impending crash. Both of the crashes that I have been through were with passengers on the rear. Passengers tend to make things unstable when they lean in the wrong direction or do something very stupid. Starting with an inexpensive motorcycle is also a great way to toss around a bike and understand the rider to cycle relationship. It's physics coupled with gyroscopic force with some balance and hand to eye coordination. An inexpensive bike gives one the option to drop or dismount without loosing thousands of dollars on fairing work . Frame sliders are also keen for this purpose. I used to ride before the helmet law in California and I miss open air cycling dearly. Have to go to the islands or Flar I Duh to quench my insatiable desire for that.

Sex before marriage ? Yes please ! Everything takes practice to get really good at and a piece of paper does not change that one bit. Giving away 1/2 your assets to someone you love temporarily is not a wise choice in this age of rampant divorce. Not temporarily you say! Everything is temporary as in the end we are all dust.

Which model A2B . Been considering the Alva+. Probably going to build a dual electric hubbed custom though based on the long and low Micargi puma or mustang frameset frameshttp://www.micargibicycles.com/statics/upload/bikes/201309110209131378836553PEs7Ubu6.jpg

Octave/Metro

they are a bit slow. but you get a true 40 miles on 2 batteries.
they go 19.5/20mph. so a bit slow on fast roads

My buddy just built an electric that will go 40 plus MPH and has a cursing radius of 20 plus miles . Same frame set I quoted. Got pulled over by the cops They wanted to know what the heck it was and bullshit with him. Not for ticketing .

Crazy cool! Since we're sharing photos. Caliper covers I did for a buddy's Chrysler 300 before (left) and after (right). He wanted the color to match his 300 exactly.

it is. i know a guy who's putting a honda 250 thumper into an aprilia RS50 (also about 200lbs). really all the engine you need for a bike that light.

one of my neighbors has a DRZ400SM. i love looking at that thing, and would get one if i didn't have a freeway commute. that also rules out a duc monster- not having fairings at freeway speeds gets old fast. i learned that with the derbi i made into a streetfighter.

as i've said previously, a CBR600 is probably next for me. 10-year-old examples are cheap, quick, and still pretty reliable. it's not often you get to check all 3 of those boxes.
