  2. Shed for bike?

    in Other Stuff

    Posted · Edited by JackFlash

    I can't begin to think of a motorcycle shelter without my mind just taking off.

     

    I have to ask...

     

    What do you want that shelter to do for you and your bike?

     

    1)  Do you just want to keep off the elements like dirt and water, like a cover...

    2)  ...or keep people from wheeling away your precious....

    3)  ...or have enough room to do a little maintenance on it...

    4)  ...and have electric for a light bulb...

    5)  ...or more electric to plug in a little heater for when you want to sit on it in the middle of winter and make zroom zroom sounds...

    6)  ...or have enough space for your 2nd motorcycle that you will find yourself lusting over. (Oh yes you do!  We all lust for a 2nd bike.)...

    7)  ...or have even more electricity for other things, like a mini fridge or a power tool or a TV...

    8)  ...or have enough room for lawn and garden items to be stored as well...

    9)  ...or have enough room for a tool box and work bench for more in depth bike maintenance...

    10) ...or to be able to tow this shelter behind a vehicle, like a trailer, for going to the track or on rides beginning miles from home...

    11)  ...or ???

     

    All of a sudden I feel like I need an RV with a built in garage.  My mind just runs with ideas building on ideas.

    More about CD-220CE All Zebrano

    The CD-220CE All Zebrano dreadnought acoustic is stunning both visually and sonically thanks to its all-zebrano wood back and sides, which look fantastic and impart wonderfully balanced tone with rich harmonics. Other features include scalloped X bracing and back center stripe mosaic inlay, abalone rosette and tortoiseshell pickguard, mahogany neck with dual-action truss rod, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with smaller (3 mm) dot inlays, rosewood bridge with compensated saddle, black bridge pins with abalone dots, mother-of-pearl Fender logo headstock inlay, gold hardware and Fishman® Presys™ pickup system with active onboard preamp, tuner, volume and tone controls and low-battery indicator light

    I'll sleep like a baby the night it sells if there is $6500

    in cash in my pocket and the next ride is lined up  :D

     

    Well, that's a little different than being bikeless.

    I'll bet you are foaming at the mouth to check

    out the new VFR 800.  :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

    Why not let it go?

     

    Good question.  They killed it dead.  Murdered!

     

    >>  Because the Dewitt County Game Warden determined the animalto be a raccoon, on Thursday the couple was given 48 hours to either release the animal or euthanize it, or they would face fines. NBC News reported that on Friday, Mike Cox, spokesman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said, "The land owner left a message on the warden's voice mail this morning that the animal had been euthanized."

    What time you thinkin?

     

    I can leave work as soon as I finish my four

    machines.  I'm hoping to leave from the Port

    Columbus area around 10'ish (fingers crossed).

    Either way, I'm still going down there.  I should

    be there not later than noon at the worst.

  17. Yamaha Demo Days - Carroll, OH

    in Daily Ride

    Okay i just called them and it is not a official Yamaha Demo Days the guy said they might have a Ranger and a couple other atvs out(sounds like just to do a loop in the parking lot) and he said if someone was really interested they might have a street bike or two out but he was unsure. So sounds like just a open house with some food and door prizes but (i repeat) NO OFFICIAL DEMO RIDES, I'm kinda disappointed.

     

    I was just about to post that their website didn't

    say a thing about demo rides, and was about to

    call them to find out.  I already arranged

    to get off work early.  Perhaps I'll drop in for a bite

    to eat.  Hope to see some of you there.

    Some people are fueled by emotions, and not decisions. It's the difference in power between the Id and the Ego. They will react, rather then analysis. There has been and always will be a large group of people that do this, for whatever reasons that caused it to be. The fast pace of internet communications (from our instant tweeting phones) has simply made it all the more visible to the general population.

     

    Thinking and decision making take time, and will never catch up with the quick reactions of emotions.

     

    And then there are the ones who always have a chip on

    their shoulders, always looking for a reason to be pissed

    off about something that really amounts to nothing.  They

    are known as professional victims, constantly seeking

    sympathy as a way of gaining attention so they can feel

    their lives have been validated.

    Does not matter spit what anyone else thinks Jack, and opinions and experiences are like assholes. I think the interweb is going to confuse you more than help, you need to go ride some bikes at a demo day or just pull the trigger on whatever you like and feel is a good and wise choice for you. You can't outride what you have now, so what exactly is really making you want something else more powerful? You are a bit tentative and think waaaaaayyyyy too much and over analyze things when it comes to bikes and riding.......relax and enjoy what you have for maybe a bit longer. :) You very simply have bike lust and there is NOTHING wrong with that "trust me", but try to avoid writing a check with your mouth that your ass may not be able to cash. ;) Sometimes you don't know what you had until it is gone, but with motorcycles that is usually an easy fix.

     

    And yes we have totally hijacked this thread......LOL

     

    Guilty as charged.  :excited:

     

     

    And David Rosso, I owe you a beer or

    steak dinner for this getting carried

    away in your thread.

    Just because the power is there does not mean

    you have to use it. I would upgrade in bigger steps

    or go right to were you want to be and learn self

    control till you have the skill set.

     

    So, are you suggesting that if I ride the wheels

    off of my GS for the next two or three years

    until I have the money saved to buy a used

    2014 Ninja 1000, I wouldn't be crazy to make

    a leap to that level?

    What do "you" think Jack? Personally I believe you are listening to the choir too much, and yes it is a big enough step up and nicer bike than what you have now. If it is the bike you believe is the one, then I think you should get it.....doubt you will be wishing/regretting you had allot more.....just sayin. ;)

     

    Too bad this bike is accounted for, this is about as good as it gets.

     

    Yes.  In not knowing more than I do, I am relying on information

    from those with more experience.  Questions have arisen in

    regards to torque and horsepower, and what constitutes a

    logical step up without getting in over my head.  Too small of a

    jump and I'll wish I had saved my money for something with a

    higher level of performance. 

     

    I guess I'll dig into the internet and do some more research.
