I think he took his toys and went home. Last post was over a week ago, when he yelled at us all for not coddling him.

Vulcan

Ahh, thank you. 8 posts into it, I have an actual answer. So much sarcasm.

I know, I know...

Hey, I have that EXACT same jacket. But, still... 32

Holy crap! Ewe really DO have sheep. I always thought they were just sheep screwing jokes...

Didnt this certain guy already go down this path with a similar thread only to get nowhere? Is someone needing some attention:)

No, that certain guy was looking to REPLACE the CBR entirely. Then he fell in love with the CBR, and it's not going anywhere, but he still kinda wants a comfy bike, too...

Just looking for opinions here. Let's say I know a certain guy who rides a CBR600RR. It's not his first bike, but it's also not the most comfortable thing he ever sat on, and he's contemplating a cheap second bike, which would be the daily rider, and the CBR would become more of the track variety.

My choices for said cheap bike at the moment, are:

2003 Suzuki Volusia 800. It's got 7,000 miles, decent tires, 3 owners, as has aftermarket radio, as well as Corbin seat, and passenger seat with sissy bar. It's not EFI.

2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900. This one has 20,000 miles, decent tires, but will need replaced before next season, 1 owner, includes manuals, some kind of aftermarket pipes, I forget the brand, passenger seat with sissy bar. 20,000 commuting miles, and the guy is a motorcycle tech for a dealership.

Both are priced well. Obviously, the Volusia is a little less expensive, but not by much.

Do any of you have experience with either of these bikes? Are they good for what I'm looking at?

Wow, you could mow that with scissors.

I could, but lawn care is included in the condo fee.

It's mostly the green space around the buildings, etc., but hey, landscaping makes the whole complex look better, so I'm not complaining. lol.

Thats basically a land contract, just without the land.

Well, yeah... Only difference I was able to find was that land contracts typically expire after 2-5 years, whereas this one will go the whole 30.

And hey, I have a VERY nice little 10x12 plot of land for a back yard... Until I build a deck on it, anyway...

It's how I bought my current condo. Due to a few minor marks on my credit, the banks wouldn't touch me at a decent rate. The guy that owned my condo had it paid for, just wanted to get rid of it. Looked at the credit, but also looked at the fact that ALL my income is disposable, I had good job time, my car is paid for, I don't have a credit card, and I had a pretty nice amount available for a down payment. We discussed it and came to agreement, where I buy the house, he holds the deed, I get contract stating that after 360 payments, the place is mine. Lawyers approve it, and it's valid. Fixed rate of 4%. I can pay it off without penalty, I can claim first time home buyers credit on my taxes (I did) and if I ever do anything ri-Tard-like, and get sued, theoretically, the condo isn't mine, so I can't lose it in a lawsuit. Not that I'd ever do anything like that to GET sued, but stuff happens. It's one less thing to worry about.

It worked out with the best of both sides for me.

It's not so much rent to own, as a seller held mortgage, though. I'm not paying stupid high fees, or interest, and the price I got is comparable to what condos in my complex sold for last year, so, good price, too.

there's only one good thing PETA has done:

while peddling their idiotic propaganda to the only group of people naive enough to buy into it: 3rd graders.

And apparently hot chicks who get naked.

Ok, have fun.

bump

women from the middle east/Mediterranean area are hot.

as for posting pics of her, i already have an idea how some of you are lol, so i'll decline to add them.

Good thinking. Exactly why there are no pics of my hot, asian girlfriend posted on here, either.

Least it's not only motorcycles cagers don't pay any attention to.

Do you have good stuff on your itunes account?

A 7 year old Lexus with tranny probs already?? :???:

Well, its got 233,000 miles on it, too.

Were you the one dressed up like an elephant?

I don't remember anyone making fun of animals being slaughtered. Although without it, there'd be no more delicious hamburgers.

Well, trade in value on it is over $5000, so I'd say I should be able to sell it for more than that.

Lol. Well, worth looking into, I guess. It's a great car. I still want a truck, though, so what am I supposed to do, now...

Yeah, I know. Sometimes it's fun to drudge up the past, though.

I appreciate the offer. But really just looking to sell. As stated, this is towards the bike fund lol.

Before you say it...i know you didn't really want it anyway.

Hmmm. Well...i'm definitely interested. Depends on how much cash would you need?

Well, per kbb, even with the insanely high miles, it's still worth $10,500. Subtract out the $1400 for your truck, and that leave $9,100. Figure a new transmission would be like $3000... It's still working, but not sure how long, so I'd split that with ya, so another $1500... So, $7,600?

$7,000 just to make it even, and because I think the transmission is gonna go sooner, rather than later.

No case on my Droid Eris. I've had it about 4 months, and it's still in great shape. I'm not gentle with my phones.

If it's yeller, that's the one. No Jagrz tonight, what's up wit dat?

Maybe the mattress guy told him he's not allowed there, anymore?

lol. Not sure if i should take you serious.

Well, on paper, it looks like a dumb trade, but in reality... '03 Lexus ES300. Here's why I'm thinking... I've not driven it in a couple of weeks. I still have full coverage insurance on it, it takes premium gas, it's got some, um, problems that have developed recently, namely, the transmission is REALLY slippy when it shifts, the rest of the time, it hunts around, and will randomly shift at inopportune times. When that happens, I'm done. I'm not putting the money into it. Beyond the transmission, it's a nice damn car. Leather has no cuts or tears, HID lights, it's loaded. Clean, clean, clean. No rust, like 2 small dings, clean interior, even still smells good after almost 8 years of life. Serviced at Lexus dealer since it was new. Engine is freaking perfect. No leaks, no issues whatsoever.

I just don't need it anymore, and a truck is more useful to me. It's not a must have, just thought I'd run it by you. Obviously, not talking about an even trade, here, though.

Wanna trade for my car? I need a truck, actually...
