Ha. I am NO where near NOVA there good buddy. I am in Mount Airy, NC. About 5ish hours away from you.

I tell you what. You ever come down here we will hit up my backyard. Or someone elses backyard with some shooting. Then we can hit up the mountains. I love the curves. Touge WOO HOO!!

I don't doubt your riding abilities, but I do doubt the abilities of the driver's behind and around you.

^ me to buddy people cant drive very well in the rain LOL

Post up a pic or two of that bike why don't ya?

she needs some things done but shes mine

Nice crotch rocket Derby. Sweet.

Thanks im lookin into getting a sportster 1200

not sure yet though

My personal favorite Honda is the VFR800. I like the cruiser/street bike look. May not be as fast, but I don't want to die on a bike.

don't waste your money on a sportster, as soon as you get it you'll wish you went bigger..

Honda ST1300 or Valk for me. I WILL settle for a fully loaded Wing though. No trike, Side-car please.

Yeah Im actually thinking about trading it for a toyota truck/4runner

im not sure yet....

I really love my bike but I really want/need a vehicle and the only two I want is either
toyota truck or toyota 4runner


people want loads for a 90 toyota truck like 2k im like WOAH!!

I assume that you do not know how well those Toyota trucks retain their value. They ALWAYS go for more, lots more, because they are so desirable. Good luck finding one. If I was already in the NAVY and I had a steady source of income coming in then I would definitely buy that bike from you. But, since I don't it is out of my reach right now.

Yeah I understand

Yeah I used to have a toyota but some of these have to many miles for 1500

Im a decent mechanic so trying to find one for cheap that needs a little work

I got a toyota prerunner with 145k miles. My plan is to drive it until the wheels fall off. I figure I got another 100k miles at least. I bought it used with 20k miles in 2000 and no repairs so far other than normal maintenance like oil changes. I can also say (with only a little shame) that I am still running the same tires that rolled off the lot with the truck in 2000. I do need to replace the front ones but they havent fallen off yet...

Same tires for 9+ years? Holy moly. My Z gets new fronts every 8-10 months and new rears about every 9-11 months. Woo Hoo.

^ Z tires (350z im guessing) are different sizes so you cant rotate them

they wear out faster

<-- used to work at a autoshop ugh it sucked lol

Believe it or not the back tires still have plenty of tread. I'm going to put two new ones on the back and move them to the front.

I have a set of 33s that i bought with my F-250 in '94 - use them in the cool seasons -and this fall two of them got blisters and the treads separated. I got to thinking about getting rid of them,and it occurred they might make good backstops for shooting. So I did, and they did... I cut each tire into six pie sections with a sawzall, then nest them together for the backstop. Factory .45ACP 230gr balls will go thru 3 layers and stop against the 4th. Easy cleanup for recycling, I've put 300+ rds into the first set and they're still holding up. Sorry about being off topic, but wanted to share...

Noppers. I own a 1996 300ZX Twin Turbo. My mother owns a 2007 NISMO 350Z #298 of 1500. My tires wouldn't need rotating if they could be rotated anyways. I wear them out WAY too quick to matter there.
