Dang. I've gotten some cheap bikes over the years but that's insane.

That thing is in really great shape!

I sat on a Grom the other day at the dealer. So tiny, but it looks like it would be a blast! But I didn't buy it, too much going on with the new house, selling this one, I don't need a fourth bike.

It's not a perfect bike, but even having to fix it, it will still be a steal

It's nicer than the piece of shit Honda I bought 2 months ago!

It has a second gear issue that a shop quoted the previous owner $600 to fix, but I'll just skip second gear until I fix it.
The groms look cool but they have less than 10 horsepower, there is absolutely no way I could do that

I have a Vulcan 750 that's torn apart in the garage because I spun a rod bearing only a few hours of use after getting it running.

There's an '83 Silverwing 650 with parts split between the garage, the basement, and the back of the house because I pulled the engine to do some maintenance.

Both of those projects have sat for several years now because other things came up. I really miss being on two wheels - it's been at least five years now since I rode regularly.

speaking of projects, i REALLY need to get working on my t-bird again. still have it, haven't done much to it as of late. got a whole 50 miles or so put on in the past 2 years

I just got started a couple of months ago, had a motorcycle before but like 15 years ago. I'm never going to stop riding again

[ford4thot]

Yeah that's a good point. Have you narrowed anything down on the house yet?

A couple different realtors told us that if we found a house that met 80% of our needs, buy it

[ford4thot]

That will do it haha

[ford4thot]

That's why you bought a truck right

[ford4thot]

How do you like the EcoBoost forum? Was pretty funny when you first showed up and offered your help and advice

Hahaha if you mention SSI tuning, you'll get your wish.

[ford4thot]
