Those hours sound great to me, but I wouldn't be able to see for about 3 hours..

Howdy everyone. Haven't had much time to snoop around the forum lately (darn summer classes).
But I'm still alive, for now... just finished up a motorcycle class today, getting my endorsement tomorrow. Then it'll be time to take my XR650L out on its' maiden voyage on the road, no more riding in circles in the back yard!

HAH! If you dont have a death wish you shoulda bought something slower! lol thats why I will never get myself a crotch rocket. If it has the ability to go 240 id probably take it there...

That and I like the sound/style/look/culture involved with Harleys. Just a slow fat cruise bike that is overpriced and STILL awesome! lol

A friend of mine has a custom chopper I've thought about buying, but decided not to. It's got a 160hp Ultima engine with a 6 speed IIRC and will hurt you if you get into the throttle too hard. LOL. Not something that I need to be in control of being as throttle happy as I am.

I like the dualsports like my XR650... good mileage, decent highway manners, and the ability to dive off into the woods and explore!

I just acquired a 1971 Honda CB175. I got it out of the scrap metal dumpster at work. It's complete accept for the carb and one side cover. The guy that through it in the dumpster said it's been in his basement for 20 years or more. I asked him if he had the title to it, and he does! He's bringing me the title. It's in kinda rough shape, but could be restored, or used for parts for some one restoring one. I'm not gonna try to restore it, I'm just gonna sell it.......maybe American Pickers will buy it! LOL!!!

Wow, that's quite a project. I had a '72 Suzuki TS185 dualsport I was going to rebuild, but it needed way too much work...

Here's my XR650



And me and my buddy about to head out on my first street ride
