Gas Gas Gas

[litch]

I have bought 367$ worth of gas this year.I could have cut something like 200$ off that if I had used a motorcycle for my daily commute.

A used bike in the 750cc range will cost me 2500-3000, around 500 for helmet and other crap. It could pay for itself in 6 years.

I keep looking at this listing, it's a bit more forward lean (aggressive posture) than I would like but probably better for a starter bike than the cruiser style I'm more attacted to.

I am concerned about my appearence, I don't want to look rediculous, I'm cared of being an outrageously fat guy on the motorbike. I remember a picture of fat kids on minibikes in advertisements for fat camps from when I was a kid and they haunt my imagination

I also want a bluetooth ear piece and I need to pay off my shrink and I need to get my truck inspected and registered, and need some more clothes and new shoes.

You could also look at older Viragos and older Shadows. They'll have not quite the amount of horsepower that some of the more modern bikes have, you'll get the cruiser style you want and you might even end up with something that's shaft driven instead of chain driven. I know for a fact the 535 Viragos were shaft driven, and I know that Dale's Shadow is as well. You should also be able to find those in your price range. You might check out cycletrader as well for listings.

poke recommended motofun.net to me, and I really enjoyed their MSF class, so much so that I even sent a couple of my coworkers that way to take the class as well. They're up in Round Rock where RPM raceway used to be.
