New Ride?

Gas Man · 08-20-2011, 10:59 PM

Go for the old project bike. Your small click of riding segment just doesn't warrant the 3rd purchase.

Look at my garage. I have my ultra that I keep stripped down for around town, but it sets up for great touring bike.

Then I have the nightster which is a "bar hopper" or around town bike.

What if I said I wanted a vrod. It fills the hp gap and is something faster. But it only fills a small almost non-existant gap.
But a cool old hd project or old cafe racer project would rock. If I went old metric cafe bike, I would probably do it with intent of selling it to turn a profit and keep making $$ on each project. Enjoying them as I went through em.

I look at old hd projects as the same thing to a old bmw project. Same in cool and in price.

Cant' say I didn't try... I know the owner a bit so it would be a good bike.

That's another thing, this looks good to ride, when I get my old BMW, I want it to be a definite project.
