Unsub,how true.. we beat the hell out of my son's little CRF 50.. that thing just keeps going!

nice project bike you've got!.. post pics when you're done <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not a great pic, but mine's the second from the left. It's a 2001 Electra-Glide Classic from H-D. LOve riding, love knives!

I need to get me a bike to ride this summer

Any suggestions for a good cheap one???

Leatherface,depends..
what you wanna do with it? LoL

oh man.. there's almost as many Bike "answers" as there are Knife answers!
you lookin for a commuter? beater? looker? new/used? what's your experience?

My buddy picked up a Kawasaki Ninja 750 for less than $1000!
sure the fairings were scraped on Both sides, and the chain was looser than a you know what.. but we it fixed up in 1 weekend, and it's still fast enough to give him road rash if he wants it!

and of course.. on the other end of the spectrum.. sky's the limit!

if you're into cruisers..
there are entry level 883cc/1200cc Sportsters.. up to the 88 cubic inch big twins.. and beyond.

Japanese cruisers are a Dime a dozen! they don't hold value at all so you can pick 'em up CHEAP from folks who don't wanna ride any more.

I am thinking beater in case I dump it

Just somethng that I can ride to work to save some gas and look good doing it!!

oh yeah..i forgot..

there are 2 kinds of bikers..

those who have dumped their bikes..

and those who are GOING to dump their bikes!

Yea I am entirely to goodlooking to dump a pretty bike so I want a beater

Leatherface,start by asking around work.. or friends, relatives..
Folks Always have bikes sitting in the garage that they no longer want to ride, or wanna trade & upgrade.

You'll wanna start it up, check for wipe-out marks, loose chains, rims aren't wobbly, goes into every gear, preferably ride around the block.
Best thing is they'll prolly throw in all their gear too! helmets, etc.

Bike maintenance is relatively easy too. Worst thing for me is rear tires.. every 6-8K miles.. ouch.

Very nice

Dan

Thanks Tony,
I am looking at Epray right now to get an idea of what the going rates are...

I would really like to get a midsized rocket to ride around on BUT I am watching the knife $$$ for that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

the 600cc class has Really gotten super popular!

a Bunch of 750s got outmoded overnight and can prolly be had for.. ChEAP!
Suz GSXR750, Kaw Ninja750, etc.
