  1. Well, they didn't last long. Sold on facebook. Please lock this down. Thank you.
  2. Looking to sell my side bags from my 2006 Triumph Sprint ST, asking $450 for the pair, willing to meet half way for someone outside of the CBUS area, shipping would be actual cost. They are the Sunset Red color but different panels are still available from Triumph can be replaced for other color bikes. Not sure if they are the same bags for later model years though. The one bag has a fair dent in the paint, looks kinda like a scratch but it's indented and the paint is still in it, see the photos. They come with one key for the locks. All of the locking cams are in good shape. This is just the bags, none of the mounting brackets or hardware is included.
  3. $1250; Looking to sell a set of "4" Status Alloy brand 24inch wheels to fit the 2012 Chevy Suburban 1500 and possibly many other chevy trucks. These are the Empire (S839) model wheels with a 6 x 5.5 (139.7mm) lug pattern. They are in great condition with no finish flaws, no dents or bends. Comes with Lexani LX-Thirty performance tires on them in 305/35R24 size. Tires are used but better than 50% of the tread is left (see pictures). Chrome standard valve stems, no tpms sensors installed. Will come with a full set of recessed chrome security lug nuts and key. See the pictures for what they looked like on my truck before I pulled them off. Local pickup or willing to meet half way for the guys outside the Cbus area. Will not ship, too darn heavy and not worth it.
  4. Film cameras were expensive to get developed back when I got my first bike at 15yrs old and I was much more into mechanical stuff than photography. They didn't invent the cell phone camera for another 9 years after I got my first two bikes, dang that makes me feel old. They came as a pair in a package deal from a friend of the family that promised I could never get them running again. Both photo's are off the net but the models are what I had (same color even) 1972 CZ 175 Trail. 1976 Honda CB550 supersport.
  5. I have around $50 in bitcoin as proceeds from mining. Not sure I would invest actual cash into it, I've never won the lottery and suck at the casino so I have no plans to risk my own money for speculative buying in crypto currency.
  6. My first bike, a '75 Honda CB750 unfortunately is rusting away in some junkyard in Eastern PA after I totalled it back in 1996.
  7. If the new ones are anything like the 2001 gti that I had, you would need every bit of that new warranty. I had that car back to the shop 18 times in 5 years for warranty work. Sold it when the warranty was up and bought a 2006 Mustang, that car was only in the shop 1 time in the 6 years I had it. Everybodies individual results may vary but I'm sticking with US made for the next few.
  8. I street/track ride with the Held Phantom II gloves. I crashed in a pair of them and they would have been perfectly fine if the medics hadn't have needed to cut my hand out of them. Bought another pair now that I'm riding again.
  9. Na guys, serious as all heck. That front track is driven by the engine also. I spent 20 minutes looking at the thing and took the picture myself. It has tower shafts down the front of both forks that put power to the front wheel/track. If you look closely at the rear plastic side panel it even says all wheel drive right on them. http://www.christini.com
  10. You need one like this that is all wheel drive.
  11. Sorry to say I will be at work Friday night and can't make it.
  12. I have the Oxford adventure grips on my Multistrada. I like them, haven't ridden the bike below freezing but I have been able to ride down into the low 40's with summer weight gloves and only medium heat.
  13. I would say to cover yourself and have him get a clear title. Makes life easier to then transfer to your name and unless you really trust the person it also eliminates the chances of bad lien paperwork.
  14. Uhhhnngg, ok I'm better now. Looking good so far, can't wait to see it finished so I can drink a brew with you and tell you how slow you are gonna look.
  15. Thankful for the good health insurance and awesome doctors and physical therapy folks that helped me get back to normal after my crash last year. Although it wasn't nearly as much time in the seat as I hoped I am back in the saddle and still enjoy riding the motorcycle. Life is good.
  16. I still have my crossman powermaster 66 that I got back in 1990 or so. 10 pump open sight goodness. I can still hit a thumbtack out to 25 feet with it. Not much knockdown power at sub 800fps speeds but I've taken more rats on my parents farm with that little rifle than would fill a 55gallon drum.
  17. Dang, I had figured for sure he had gotten one of these.
  18. Yep, $25k wouldn't have been enough to buy my current bike. ?
  19. You need to put the zombie hunter collapsible stock on it for that purpose. Then it will sell instantly. BTW, much better deal than what I spent on my Mossberg, somebody really needs to buy this thing from him already.
  20. I haven't watched football (pro or college) in years, sorry I still carry my mancard though. I gave up on that sport long before the current crop of overpaid crybabies took the field. I have jumped off bridges before, you just have to have good depth perception and jump off where the water is both close enough and deep enough to survive. Not sure why people always use this as a viable option for suggesting people commit suicide on the internet. There are much more effextive choices like jumping from the tops of burning skyscrapers.
  21. I started riding around 1992. First major crash in '96 that put me off bikes until the bug got me again in '99. Got layed off and sold that bike in 2002 to make rent payments. Didn't ride again until 2008. Been riding hard and lots of street miles(45k+ on 2 bikes) till my crash last fall. I picked up a new bike to replace the one I totalled but some of that diehard passion has been replaced by caution and at times a lack of interest, this year will probably be less than 5k miles total between all of my bikes. For me that want to ride has been there since I was in my teens. It fluctuates up and down all the time but as others have said it is a very hard thing to fully give up on and it is certainly a personal choice for each person.
