Well, I talked it over with the boss (re: wife) and she has pretty much told me that "you really want a new bike dont you? well, all right"
w00t.
So shopping time! Im going to have a look around, but it would appear I am a bit of a Yama-phile, So most likely Im going to be going with a Vstar 650 either the Custom or the Classic (if I can get those floor boards and heel toe shifter off and a new seat) Its kinda funny how most people would be leaning towards the sporty bikes, and here I am a 26 year old male going for a cruiser, whoda thunk it (I like couches better then torture racks I guess) I will have a swing over to the local Honda/Kawasaki dealer, but I was there the other day and didnt really like the looks of the Magnas, although the Vulcan did seems nice, I would have to see if they could get a 650 in stock to have a sit on (I really dont want to go much bigger then that, we dont have any free ways up this way, and its pretty much only 2 lane traffic with a 90 km/hr speed limit, so I'll be able to do fine on the roads with that size a bike)
Unfortunately, there arent any other manufacturer dealers around (theres a Suzuki dealer here, but they dont carry motorcycles for some reason, so I have no way of having a sit down or even see one in person) and I dont feel like buying something I never even get to see.
Now what prompted this from me, Mr. Cheap "O Ring" fix up the POS you own?
I was working on my Maxim yesterday and when trying to remove the carb boots from the engine had almost EVERY SINGLE hex bolt snap off inside the bock! now, I had this problem with the exhaust on my Seca, and with the problems I had trying to get the things drilled out (ended up with a maguyver sorta bolt on exhaust pipe, ill post a pic some time) I just had enough..I want shiney!!! Ill sell the running and not running oldies, and then use the cash on the new hotness.
Oh, and I have to buy the wife a new matress for the spare bedroom in order to get my new bike, compromise eh? (and no, its not cause me or her will be sleeping there
)
Luckily it was a small deer, and it went under the vehicle instead of over, and it went under the drivers side tire and out before it got to the back. But the litle bit of damage caused probably sucked up my bike budget (insurance claims suck, a couple hundred bucks outta my pocket is better then jacking up my rates by putting in a claim.)
