Re: New Bike
whoooaaa...long time no see!

Looks sharp for "that kind of bike"

Is there still an RC or is your "Bikes" tagline horribly outdated?

still got the crf?

Re: New Bike
CRF is gone, in 1996 CR500 (there just is no replacement for that 500 ), still have the RC, the tagline is very outdated

some like it smoked and some like it stroked, I guess as long as you're in tight with a purveyor of cheap tires you're all set. Those things are downright silly

Is that the bonneville? (I see the America just don't know britbikes enough to know if they all have that or not ).

Glad to see you still have the beastial twin

Re: New Bike
Run the tires till they're bald, then replace, maybe replace the knobs with shoe goo if you get real cheap. It's basically a Bonneville with more raked forks, more forward pegs, and a couch for a seat, the beastial twin is in danger, not sure, gonna keep that or the F3 for a track bike, just depends on how much money I want to put in the bank when I decide to sell one

Whoa dude, you sold the CRF? I thought you loved that bike?

The triumph is kinda cool, in a chill sorta way.

Do you at least still have the Baja Taco?

Got sick of the red sticker on the CRF, so I bought a more polluting bike that I can get a green sticker for. The Baja Taco was replaced by a Subaru Baja Turbo

Not too sure how it sounds, the stock mufflers are very quiet, it performs well, I took the ole lady out yesterday on it and it hauled the two of us with ease, had to do a little shifting to pass cars, but not bad at all.
