I have to agree with her on one point, being a passenger sucks; You could not pay me enough to do it.

I 100% agree to that, I would never do the passenger thing unless it was some huge emergency and it was the only choice

IQ, due to her size (and bravery) is the best passenger ever!

When you can back it into a corner...with a passenger..you know you've got a keeper!

CBR300?

Close, its predecessor. The 300s are going for $3000+ and the 250s $2200+. It needs about a few hundred in cosmetic parts if I care. 14,000km on it. So I知 getting a fabulous deal.




what's wrong with your Silver Wing?...do you not have it anymore (or do you want this in addition to it)?

I quit two wheels back in June. I知 getting back to it because dating in this day in age sucks so much and I need something to keep me busy so I知 not rushing into the next relationship. Lol.

Hookers FTW!!   ;D

Nice bike...I like those.  I thought those looked more interesting than the newer ones.

TurboBob had one.

I'm considering getting a KLX300, Yamaha TW200 or some sort of quad for the spring....I'm kind of torn between a quad or some sort of more dirt oriented bike, not even considering a dirt bike.

and blow? Haven't done either but they seem to go together.

I like it. My old 125 looked exactly like it.



I wonder if the 125's tri-colour HRC panels would fit?

Well, I meant the KLX250, no, not at all. I don't want to dip my toe into trail riding with something I care a whole bunch about

2 stroke or GTFO.   ;D

Find an older KDX200 or 220.

I know literally less than nothing about two strokes.....now I'm back to looking at KLR650s, gawdammit, I think I should just stop f$%king around and get one as it will inevitable happen at some point anyways.

That's because there's nothing to know!!


Seriously....for goofing off or learning...an older 2 strokes is great!!

The KDX (and KTM 200) are the KLRs of 2 strokes.  About as reliable as the day is long.

F my life.

Sigh.   :rofl: :rofl2:

Kawasaki KDX200 or KDX220.

And KTM is the manufacturer (Austrian)  The bike in question would be either  the 200XC-W or 200EXC

OK..now that you're up to speed, start shopping!!   ;D

Right, right.  Important.

I naturally assumed off-road, because of his other bike and his sweet towing rig he now has.   ;D

Street legal for sure and the inseam is why I want to stay away from dirtbikes, I only have an inseam of ~31". I tried a friends dirtbike and I hated tip toeing.

Once you get the taste for it...it's hard to shake.

Dirt biking is ridiculous fun..and superior 2 wheel training IMO.
