Funny you mention bikes. I wonder how many motorcycle riders are on this forum?

I'd give you rep for this if I could!

 

See u have one too! Mines a 100th anniversary edition. Road a bunch the first two years when my friends were riding, not much anymore.

 

Real fun to see the world without looking through a windshield.

 

My "almost got killed" stories are up to 10. :thumbdown:

Sportster 1200 custom. Though riden once in 2 years.

 

Well you're just full of surprises aren't you?

 

I want to see pictures of tiny little Chz on a giant Harley or else I'm not sure I could believe it.

 

G37x and a Sienna.

 

I also ride a vintage 1981 Kawasaki KZ1000 CSR bought brand new in 1982, roughly 35k miles on it.

 

Very cool bike!

 

I had to sell my '73 Honda 350 when I moved into this apartment because the charging system requires it to sit on a trickle after pretty much every ride, and since the garages here don't have electricity there was no way I could keep it.

 

I want another bike though, and weather like this really gets me wound up. I miss it. :(

I love buying older Japanese cars and then driving them forever - Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus. They simply cannot be beat for long-term reliability. I could afford to, but I've never purchased a brand new vehicle and I probably never will...let somebody else eat the majority of the depreciation. My goal is always to keep my cost of ownership under $1000/yr (not including gas and insurance). Two years ago I purchased a 2002 Subaru Forester on Ebay, it was in Florida so I had it shipped up here. Being a southern car it had never seen winter and was in mint condition. Got it for $5500 and plan to drive it for at least 10 years, so $550/year and if the repairs are under $450/yr (they almost certainly will easily be less than that) then I'll be within my goal. Also, being a Japanese car, it will still actually have some resale value when I get rid of it.

 

I love cars, I really do...but I also love never having a car payment. :thumbsup:

You and I are cut from the same cloth. I've worked in the auto industry for over 20 years and have never purchased a new vehicle. Even with that shiny employee discount. One of my vehicles is a 2003 Toyota matrix that I bought for the wife from someone who's lease was expiring and the other is a 2009 HHR that was in a wreck. I don't care if the title is dinged, I'm running it into the ground anyway.
