And I was thinking you were a smart kid, then you go and start talking street bikes AKA donor cycles! You have 0 experience on a cycle, this is one of the most dangerous city's in the country for motorcycle riders, and you could put a lot of gas into Henry for 3k, most girls don't want anything to do with a crotch rocket! A cruiser maybe! But something comfortable with air conditioning is always more appealing to women they are more practical than us! Sure it sounds fun Zack! But it takes years of riding experience to ride a cycle on city streets, they are not like a car, you are driving for yourself,as well as everyone around you!

Zack, if you do look at MC's look at the new 08+ ninja 250R 3500 out the door.

Just thought I would visit for a moment and give a shout out to an AZ salvage yard. Auto Recycling Yard in Maricopa, AZ. Excellent price, service, and people

thats what i had planned on getting was a ninja 250R. only reason im considering a bike is because they are cheap, saves ALOT of gas. and the amount of miles id be puttin on my ol truck between work and school. my truck would not be able to handle it well. and for 3-4 grand would not get me anything better then what my truck would. i havent made a decision yet, im just considering all the possibilites. and most people worry about the safety factor over the long run factor. like i said... my mind isent made up yet and its not going to be for a few months anyways till i even have enough to get anything.

Jim does have a very good point about spending money on your truck.
3500 would rebuild the whole drivetrain

see but thats it. henry needs ALOT of work done. he sat for 10+ years in a driveway. all the seals are bad. the motor is very weak and needs to be rebuilt. the tranny slips and leaks tranny fluid. and safety is pretty bad as well. bill you know these old trucks. no power steering, no air bags, they dont stop on a dime. and if i get into a wreck a possible chance of killing the other person with the huge steel box.
henry cant be my DD for very much longer until i can throw money into him. but in a couple months i start school and the bills are gonna start commin. thats why i figured the bike. lol im not tryin to get all you guys worked up. just thought id throw the idea out there haha
