Where do you live? I'll give ya 200 bucks, it's all i've got. 
Sounds like you need a vacation.
You could, Fix it all up right. And keep fixing and fixing....
Well, gas guzzuling is something that can be fixed to an extent.
And I never worry if my 82 is gonna start cause I know that everything I work on is done right. It's just in your head.
You could just save your money up and buy the motorcycle and keep your bronco for the weekends.
I do understand cause im poorboyin it 24/7.
Good luck bro.

Does the roof in your Bronco leak? I know the roof on my motorcycle leaks like crazy. I much prefer to drive something with 4 wheels and a roof when it's raining. Just a thought.

Personally I would keep the truck AND buy the bike. I bought a '99 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide to go scooting around when it is sunny. I admit it set me back quite a bit, but I love the fact that I can choose which vehicle I'll drive for the day. Plus knowing that I always have a back - up vehicle relieves alot of stress.
If $$$ is that tight, I would opt to keep the Bronco, you would be able to do alot more with it. You will probably be sorry if you sell the beast.

You could do what I did. Drive a '97 Metro during the week (47 mpg) and drive the 13 mpg Bronco on the weekends. If you sell it you will regret it.

Are you in high school, or college? I know it can be tough to pay for the gas while still in school. Im still in college and I have my 96 to contend with. Personally, Broncos have been the absolute best vehicles I have ever driven. They can do everything, and they are safe as the dickens. Maybe you are fighting a losing battle with a vehicle that old, as well as the big ol tires and such you have done with it. Have you thought about selling the truck you have now, to something a bit newer? I know its nice to have a big truck, with big tires and such (I had an F250 in high school with 40" meats, 10" lift, and 5mpg...), but its not always what is best. If youre still in high school, it might be time (unfortunately) to either park it and buy a ranger or something, or just sell it outright and buy an economical car. I had to sell that F250 at the end of my senior year because I knew that there was no way in heck I could pay for it AND school. I still miss her

Don't sell it man. If ya want a bike, save up and get one, but keep the bronco. Heck I drove my '82 through HS, but after all the late night ditch hopping, river running, and mud running, she got a lil expensive to keep as a daily driver. But when i looked at selling it, the loss of cash was to much for me so i kept her ad saved and got my '94 which hasn't seen anythign off pavment yet, that is what the ol' '82 is for, and in the meantime saved money for my bike. That's my theroy on it, oh yea nd to everyone that says bikes are unsafe, they are only unsafe for people who can't ride. I ride triple digits all teh time, and most the time on one tire, and yes i have wrecked at 100mph, and walked away. With the right gear, you're completely safe on them

Keep your Bronco, can you figure out how to get more than one bag of groceries on the back of the bike? or more than one of anything for that matter? when it rains you get wet on a bike.
I'm not knockin' bikes, I'v got one myself. AND a Bronco.
Best of both worlds.
Buy the bike, Keep or replace the Bronc.
And above all respect them both because they can't respect you.
keep the shiny (?) side up......

From his post I would say he's a college student at Texas A&M. And by the way, if you are going to school, get the motorcycle and keep the Bronco. I had a bike at Texas A&M and parking was great!!! I parked within 100 feet of all my classes. If I drove a automobile I would have had to walk half a mile to a mile to each class!
