I got a 73 CB350. Maybe i should too lol

That would be a fun ride. I had a Rebel 250 for a year or so and miss how light it was to run around town and flick it back and forth. The current bike is just a DL650 but with the height and all the stuff added onto it, it feels like a much bigger bike.

My 6.2 Superduty is costing me 80-100 a week.

Shit keeps up im parking the semi uptown and walking to it.

I know of a few different Ford pickups that'll get you into the 26-28 mph range most of them being within the era where the balance of electrical simplicity & maximum mechanical reliability were at their peak...

But.. ya know

Edit.. I saw you the other day complaining about some lifter issues in your ranger perhaps? The trucks I'm referring to dont have lifters

Suzuki ls650/savages are AWESOME bikes. Pretty much 100% unchanged throughout their entire production run (almost 4 decades IIRC).. apart from stepping up to a 5spd trans from a 4spd sometime in the 90s I believe.. so parts are incredibly cheap & easy to come by.. the aftermarket for them is incredibly stout as well... Kits to turn them into cafe bikes, kits to turn them into more of a bobber style bike with weld on hardtail back-halfs.. kits to turn them into scramblers.. they sky is pretty much the limit. 650cc thumper.. 50-60 HP IIRC.. as long as your not a big fat F they'll consistently beat sub-litre sportsters from 0-60 bone stock...

Love those bikes. Vtwins sound cool and all but.. a big thumper with an uncorked exhaust pretty much sounds like a helicopter when your hauling ass down the road.. and helicopters sound badass AF.

Seattle area, $6.19/gl 3 weeks ago, now chiming in on $7/gl and inconceivably, diesel is higher???

Governor Fergusson and the previous cronies are supporting someone who is not me.

If I was going back to a small cruiser, I’d consider a first generation Vulcan 500. For the time being though, one bike is plenty.
