WTB: COMMUTER MOTORCYCLE

[LEANINTREE]

HI GUYS,
KEEP ALL EYES OUT FOR A DIRT-ARSED CHEEP BIKE. I NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO COMMUTE ON ($40/WEEK IN THE TRUCK, AND I LIVE CLOSE!)

PREFERABLY SOMETHING WITH ENOUGH NUTS TO HAUL MY LARD-ARSE AROUND, BUT I'M GETTING LESS PICKY EACH TIME I PUT GAS IN THE TRUCK...

WHAT KIND OF CRACK ARE YOU ON MATT? :wink: I SAY EL-CHEAPO BIKE, YOU KICK BACK "GO TO THE DUCATI SHOP!"

BESIDES, I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PRONOUNCE IT IF I HAVE TO WORK ON IT...

I hear you about the gas prices. Beside gas prices going up, it seems like everything else is also increasing except my salary.

Don, thats not really a commuter motorcycle, LOL. I like though.
I could see myself getting killed on one of those! LOL.

IT'S NOT REALLY THAT HARDCORE... WHEN THESE CAME OUT, THEY WERE BASICALLY A SPORT TOURER, JUST AT WARP 90... HECK, WHEN I TEST DROVE YESTERDAY, THE NEATEST THING WAS THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT GEAR I WAS IN, IT JUST PLAIN SCOOTED. 60MPH ROLL ONS IN 6TH NETTED THE SAME MOTIVATION AS ROLLING ON IN 4TH. KINDA WILD REALLY... I CAN SEE THAT IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR FULL BLITZ MODE, BUT CAN DOUBLE AS A TIME MACHINE ON THE OPEN ROAD...

Sounds like a deal to me. Unfortunately that's only about $2100 over my budget, or I'd want it too.

[LEANINTREE]

FOR THE RECORD, MRS. LEANINTREE ABSOLUTELY ROCKS... THE LOAN CAME THROUGH TODAY. $99/MO FOR THAT GORGEOUS RED THING UP THERE :laughing1:

I GUESS IT'S :birthday: A LITTLE EARLY TO MR. LEANINTREE... :occasion9:

Congrats. Hopefully you'll be able to stay alive until gas prices go back down.

[mattadams]

nice :). You da man!

[LEANINTREE]

OH YEA OF LITTLE FAITH...

I'M ACTUALLY NOT *QUITE* THAT INSANE... 26 YEARS RIDING, 18 OF THAT WITH A VALID LICENSE... I'M FAIRLY CAREFUL AND NOT A NEWBIE.

It has nothing to do with you. I'm talking about the other people on the road. Half the time people can't see my truck, how are they going to see a bike. Maybe it's just the lovely people I get to commute with.

[LEANINTREE]

GJ IS QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT THAN DENVER, I'LL GRANT YOU THAT. OH, AND IT HELPS THAT I LIVE BY THE MANTRA "RIDE LIKE YOU'RE INVISIBLE... CAUSE YOU ARE". JUST DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND SAY, "WHAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING THIS DUDE COULD DO? 90% OF THE TIME, JUST AN EXERCISE IN AWARENESS. THE OTHER 10%, LIFE INSURANCE. :idea:

Well, sounds like you got a good plan then. Should work well with the wallet especially this summer.

[LEANINTREE]

WELL, IT'S OFFICIAL. SITTING OUT IN TH PARKING LOT THIS MORNING, AFTER BEING RIDDEN TO WORK... BOOL-YA!!!!!!!

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT... I FILLED UP LAST NIGHT (HAVING JUST DIPPED INTO THE RESERVE TANK) FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $9.50... COULDN'T FIT MORE. PREMIUM NO LESS! SHOULD BE GOOD FOR A WEEK AND A HALF, MAYBE 2...SWEEEEEET....
