not really

I shoot 9mm and have 300 rounds of WWB sitting on my desk collecting dust... I'll keep it in mind...

hate crimes are such B.S.

I wanna come but I'll have to think about the $100 ....

Ninja 650r is a nice comfortable asian twin... my buddy has one, I like how it sits quite a bit

I want a Buell as well, but I'm interested in the XB9 CityX .... fun and practical.

I don't mind fucking with it, as I've already had it apart once, plus I'm a cheap bastard sometimes.

A rebuild kit for one should cost under 20 bucks, there are only a few gaskets. I am watching a petcock on Ebay that is at $20 and will consider it unless I find something better/cheaper. All I really need is 2 stupid gaskets which would cover about 8 square inches

ya I guess the Japanese put it together that way for a reason

Short story - my bike has a slow gas leak, we determine it is the diaphragm side of the petcock... so we remove the auto-gas-shutoff assembly completely, throw a piece of gasket material in there, and figure the carb can do the work of stopping gas flow. The bike is perfect for a week .... then after parking it at work Thursday it pours gas out... float stuck.... fawk. I leave it there for the night and come back yesterday, we stop the gas flow, and it won't turn over.... hydrolocked. Gas on top of the piston... figures. So we take the front clip off and pull the plugs, blow the gas out, put it back together and it runs like new... moral of the story is, I need to rebuild my petcock or get a used one to take some gaskets from - if anyone has one or knows a good place to find one, lemme know. thanks

I still need to go take my test as well .... I've ridden over 3,000 miles now with only my permit... at night, early in the morning, on the highway.... it happens. Haven't been pulled over for anything yet though, knock on wood... maybe because my bike is so slow.

yours is leaking oil, mine is leaking gas!

I might be up for a Sunday ride... have to fix the gas leak my bike developed today first. Oh, and my rear tire is pretty much bald... fawk.

yeah that will be great if we can make a meetup at the new QSL ... I got my riding jacket (finally) so I should be able to ride in some pretty cool temps... I rode to work at 6:30am this morning!

haha ... 24 grand would have made it yours

it really doesn't fit at all.... my car was faster than my bike

haha .... well... at that time I bought the car as a toy, kept it for a year, and got rid of it - between the car and insurance that year of fun cost me a few thousand bucks ... so I decided that wasn't really very smart of me, and I now have cheaper cars and a bike that is paid for... I'll likely get a nicer bike before next spring though... just have to work out the finances ... I don't make as much as I did back then but at least I don't hate my job! plus the 250 wasn't just about money, there are faster bikes I could have bought for the same $$, but I went by the common advice to start small, which I'm glad I did... I'll sell the 250 for more than I paid for it when I'm ready to do so

summit racing prices aren't usually bad

thanks guys, I sold that car a little over a year ago, it was a fun toy while it lasted

my old car mid 12's

Valley View or Sheffield?

howdy, which QSL do you normally go to ?

that tail is so freakin high you'd need a step ladder or a local picnic table to mount lol

yeah, they sure are .... though I keep mine on the pavement most of the time and leave the off-roading to the ATV's I would say asking 3500 is a good starting point and see what kind of offers you get, depends on the local market and the extent of the rust issues both on the frame and the body

I bought a YJ Wrangler a few months ago, but mine is a 90 so it has the 4.2L i6 with a carb. It has about 106k original miles and is completely rust free (including chassis) except for a spot on the front drivers fender the size of a quarter. It's a hard top, 5 speed. Just to give you an idea, I paid 4 grand for it, though it is probably worth a little more ($4500?). The 4.0L Jeeps are worth more in general (fuel injection rocks), but yours seems to need a little bit too. Just sharing info.
