The Gas Man Change Up
 

OH SNAP!!

its been years since my garage has been bikeless
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Stretch036.jpg

Stay tuned...

Put 'em in storage or what?

And I like the little wanna be snow thrower in the corner. :lol:

No storage... they are gone...

ok wait... you put all the time and effort into the chop.. I can see that. But upwards of $50K put into it if I remember correctly... and then you just sell it?

You must have gotten a hell of an offer.

Maybe I just wanted a change...

Change is good... if it's financially feasable.
Granted, I own nothing that is worth anywhere near $50K (unless you count the house that the bank owns) But I know I couldn't sell anything I have just for "change"

I shall sit idly by and await more info. Good luck and congrats (i hope/think)

I'm nervous as shit. This is going to be awesome.

there's a gap under your door.

:nee:

Thats a potentially very expensive change.

Hell that ain't bad.
The gap under my doors caused a nice snow drift IN my garage today...

From his info... its going to be a new bike. 2009?

Hmmmm....

Money is only money. Spend enough of it and you can get close enough to happiness to not worry about it! :D

Yep... gap under each corner of the door... oh well...

Yeah expensive change... but remember this... life is expensive and you can't take it with you.

Perhaps... but the question you might want to ask....

There was 2 bikes in there...

What will come?

:tt::tremble:

My guess is 2 new one, I don't think Uma wants to give up riding?

hmmm... maybe a V-rod and a XR1200?

Ahhhh.... the misses bike is gone too....

Maybe a 2 for 1 sale? I know yamaha does the "buddy pack" or whatever. LOL.... Gas on a S/T? :idk:

Naaaaahhhhhhh....... :panic:

Uma does loves the look of the nightrods but doesn't like the fit.

Since you all are so good at this...

I'll give you another tid bit...

i stripped all the aftermarket off her 2007 883L Sporty
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Stretch035.jpg

Softtail and the XR?

(really want GM on an XR, closer to a sport bike!)

Cutty... you are disgracing your sig quote

09 V rod Muscle??

Change that... Iron 883 and the XR

sorry, posted before your hint....

and i'm dead set on you getting on an XR :lol:

You sir are dead on something....

VROD... the muscle is nice but do I sound like a anti-freeze guy?

Dunno...I dont know you well enough to know.

No, he's really not a liquid cooled kinda guy.

So... Uma on the Iron 883... and Gas on... ?

A Rocker C??

meh i was gonna guess out of left field and say vmax but if hes shooting down the rod...i dunno. then i thought roher but i found this

That is stupid! Why the FOCK can't one of these companies roll somin worth a CHIT!

The motor is out of V-Rod and is a porchse motor. It can be setup right to kick some seroius arse! But not dead small motor stock. HD offers a whole line of Screamin Eagle setups and bore kits.

so now i dont know anything. besides the fact that gas cant spell porsche or serious

I won't waste time guessing, just wanting for the pics.

I don't like waiting. Tell me now.

He's falling asleep laughing... knowing that we are waiting for it.... and he's not gonna tell us till tomorrow.

Bastard.... :dthumb:

No water cooled... Not going back to a 9R then :lol:

Maybe a Buell with the clunker motor? Or a Guzzi :panic:

looks eerie

maybe you're just full of shit

I know, I know! But I won't tell.

Ninja 250's for both of you. :lol:

Does it have a Trunk?



It will after you post a picture of whatever it is:whistle:

Nice.

Exactly... the only liquid motors at my house have 4 wheels.

Iron 883 is badass. but not much of an upgrade for the wife for me to go thru all the headache I have been doing.

Rocker C... seriously? Come on... go from a real badass chopper to some half ass chopper? :panic:

Sorry... internet spelling isn't that important as long as the concept and ideas are properly convayed.

No 9R that is sure. Buell, while badass, nope...

Yes and most definately YES.

:dthumb::whistle:

Hmmmmm.... a trunk... not a bad idea... hook that up for me when I post pics... :lol:

lmao i know net spelling isint the end of the world. I just wanted a funny closer to my post :lol: anyway you should spill the beans before someone accuses you of buying one of those v8 bikes :p

A Victory something or other perhaps? or are you gonna build your own chopper? I"m awaiting an answer young man.

oh man i got it. Its perfect, aircooled, expensive, and exclusive as shit. You bought one of those jesse james choppers with the bigass radial engine didnt ya? ;)

I was just about to guess a JJ west coast chopper, which would be fucking awesome.

I like the Roger Bourget choppers better. No oil tank. They run the oil through the frame so the seat sits lower.

http://www.bourgets.com/images/2009models/17.jpg

I know bud... just givin ya shit.

V8 choppers. those are pretty nice and with Dart engine components built by my close friend they are bullet proof.

Victory... not a bad guess. At least american made. Young man? Hmmm... only young for a few more months.

WCC chopper... not a bad guess. But if it was anything super coolio custom it would be built from the frame up by me. However, that being said, do you think I would tackle said project this late in the game?

The bourgets are a drop seat frame design. However, as cool as they may be they are also complete pieces of shit.

haha well ive never met you so i wouldnt know. You've got the garage and a loving/understanding missus to pull it off though

That bad really? Shows you I know nothing about choppers. They look cool though.

I know Dave... but I have realized a few things about the choppers... I'll explain later...

Rider... yeah, its a diverse field of play.

interesting looking forward to it

So is it gonna be a chopper? Or you gonna fuck with everyone mind and buy a motard

I wish he'd show up with a Desmoduci or something but that won't happen. A MV Augusta or a a Motoczynk (sp) but that won't happen... he's getting a full bagger! Super glide or whatever they call them now!

I've seen it! I've seen it!

Hmmmm....

Make with the goods.

I'm sworn to secrecy.

Why the secrecy? Whats the big deal? He's already said he's getting something new.

Dont make me call you up mr!! TELL!!!!

Its gas' way of being an asshole.

Six pages, you've already gotten the surprise and you haven't posted pics?!?!

Aarrrrggghhhh!!!! The suspense in killing me!

Hurry up and tell/show us already!

Please? :D

this thread is ghey, i should lock it but the bastard can unlock it.

you could always give me his admin rights... :D

my guess is its something HD and possibly a chopped trike of some sort

your smoking crack

why don't you get to organizing the smilies like you said you were gonna 6 months ago :lol:

i did fix them, then someone added some more and fucked them up...
but i will get it back in order shortly

God damn it gas.

enough already, i'm dying here! :panic: what is it?!

Ok...

Uma...
She likes the look of the Nightrod, but not the feel. The Iron is not enough upgrade for the work... Only remaining option is the Nightster.
Unless she wants to get sporty on the XR?

As for Gas, I'm at a loss. I know the Rocker C would be a huge step back, BUT, I know it will be air cooled, it will be american made, and pretty sure it won't be a trike. GMan loves throwin the sparkies with hard parts. :lol:
As for all the cool custom chopper shit, well, we should all know better than him buying one... hes King of the DIY motorcycle stuff.

I think Gman is getting a retired MotoGP bike.

Actually, no one but marko knows what the fuck is going on.

Desmosedici TIG? :idk:

While i was in class today I was milling over what choices he had. But they are all shot out the window now that you guys keep saying hes a BIY guy. My guesses were..

-Arlen Ness bike?
-Victory Custom?
-OCC..... lol, im fuckin with ya now.....

Dan built a chopper just from parts in his store to prove it could be done. www.undergroundbiker.com

So when you posting pics Gasman? :idk:

Jeff

Well bottom line... allow me to explain my reasoning and amounts for the trades...

Ok... so last year I started out with a bang when I revealed the Phoenix Chopper. It was an awesome acomplishment. Then had some problems with some electrical connectors which I fixed. Then the ignition fail, which I replaced. I had heat shields rattle loose, causing a constant retightening of them being an irritant. The trans nut came loose and had to be re-torqued and loctited (again). The open belt seem to cause more vibration. Even though all of this happened, it was still a BLAST to ride. The power, the look, the sound, everything was just jaw dropping. But I was done... had nothing more to do to the bike.

Then it came to the fact that either by bruised "mental" reliability or not wanting to ever take it anywhere for multiple reasons. Whether it is due to not wanting to get it wet, people screwin with it causing me to shoot them, or whatever. Coupled with the pending doom of EHC failure, top end rattle, this or that.

put all of that in the back of your mind.

Its a shame... a damn shame that in this economy. They are currently selling mostly stock used bikes around $18k. I had about $15k in aftermarket into the bike, that you normally get nothing out of. So what's a good trade in price? $15k stock? Anything for the aftermarket?

So lets throw the line out there and see if we get a bite.....

We start talking... the sporty trade is easy. Strip it down and take it in $7580 trade in value (actual trade would be about $5k), this all under the HD promo till the end of this month.

We start moving numbers on the chop. I wanted to clear enough money on the chop to cover the cost of a new bike for me. So the back n forth starts... $18k, show them pics... $19k... I push the "I buy 2 new bikes card". $20k.... nope... still need more boys... $21k. That is about $7k over normal trade which is about 50 cents on the dollar for the aftermarket stuff. Plus no selling hassle... we make the deal

Many can't believe it and few can understand my desire to keep up change.

So I stripped all the sportster aftermarket off cause they won't give me anymore on this promo...
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Stretch035.jpg

Then its just a matter of what to buy at this point and locating the exact unit in their stock or dealer trade. So at least now you know its from an HD dealer.

They picked up the bikes and now we wait with an empty garage...

Will update the exact picks when they come in and I have pics.

Or hes buyin Over200s turbo busa so that over2 can start on his gp replica

And I will say that some of you have some great detective skills and logical, maybe even educational guesses.

to be honest Gas... I was wondering about your Big Dog... I read all your threads and saw you had a few issues... and looks like you listed even some you didn't tell us about...

sucks that you spent that kinda money just to have it sit because of doubts about it's reliablility. hopefully the new bike will be better...

it'll probably be more comfortable though... so ya know... the rally in Georgia :D :lol:

just tell us already god dammit, at least post up in the mod forum if you don't want everyone to know. :lol:

and then you can let everyone know... or at least me... fuck everyone else

God damnit..... a Street Bob????

I had a HORRIBLE riding season last year and don't want nor will I let myself have another one.

i completely understand the feeling of "theres nothing more to do to it" unless it breaks, which unfortunatly can happen any unexpected time being that its a custom-being that u live in a seasonal riding climate that can really ruin the riding season i imagine. i understand the change up, hopefully you get aclimatted to whatever you pick, and "make it yours"(u of all ppl cant ride 100% stock) before the snow melts over there. :dthumb:

i dont even give a shit what it is, its coming from the h-d factory(they only make so many bikes :lol:). i'm more curious as to what you gonna do to it.

Gas you want a rigid my old man is tryin to sell his choppa........110 revtech......baker 6 speed.....black.....sexyyyyyyy did i mention he built it
________
Health shop

I think the new bike is bought,awaiting delivery...or pics. I don't know he made an "old man" comment and talked about change... I'm back to the full dresser...besides Uma is also getting a bike so he could ride hers for "sporting" around town. Hmmm... a Sportster 1200 and a Road King.

yea well hes a sissy and we cant get rid of this damn bike nobody has money so im trying to pawn this thing off to anyone and everyone

Glass pipes

I've already ordered about $2k in assc for my new bike alone.

Hmmmmm but you are still wrong.

that is true... that's why I jumped on this deal. $21k trade on my bike is better than some guys are getting on straight out trades.

i would ask for pics, but knowing u, you would just post up pics of boxes, if anything lol

you got a deal wow 21k im ashamed to say what hes asking now.(down around 14 he built it for 23 i believe) for a while people were offering 30 back when he didnt wanna get rid of it

Honda Cb1100F Specifications

he don't have it for sale yet cause I haven't signed over the title yet... but I'm planning on checking it out after

Well Im not even going to embarrass myself by guessing but knowing Gas (and by knowing I mean from reading his posts) I know its gonna be bad ass!! Im very anxious. Id like to request when you make your next "change" wait till you have the bike in hand before you tell us about it so you can show us pics sooner cause WE'RE DYING HERE!!! LOL

:lol

The fat bob is nice but it's only got a 180 rear tire. Not sure why, but it looks like the Dyna's get a few more ftlb's of torque over the softails. There is only 1 HD that catches my eye and that's the Night Train. The rockers don't do it for me, I don't like the gap between the seat and the fender. I know that's what makes them a "rocker" but I don't like em.

Please don't tell me your getting a touring bike or a VRSC or whatever the fuck they are. HD doesn't make a rigid do they?

I don't like the Rocker C either. They just look weird.

thats the combo my girl's folks went with

street glide is very nice, although I didn't want to be riding the larger chassis all the time.

Unless of course you decided to go old school and get the VW trike chopper. now that would be way cool. :rockout: :sorry:

V-Rod with a 240 rear tire kit ?

Night rod? Badass.

Gonna miss the Trunk

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ift027a222.jpg

nice trunking

Nice trunk Fat.... at least you're never disappointed!

someone has to kill the time while you hold us all hostage!

Good reasonings and such for changing it up. Glad you got decent money back out of the deal....


and now i patiently wait to see the new scoot.


:tt:



















pics yet?

no...

ok

:tt:












fuck it.


:leaving:

you are really bad making us wait this long

I'm going to stop checking the thread too. :lol:

Someone ban this cocktease motherfucker, right now.
