I think the kids look great together.
Sweet! What kind of bike is it?
Peace.

I'm still anxiously awaiting my real reply to this thread...you all know about this:
http://www.nofuture.com/myvx/trooper/trooper12.jpg
Which came home a couple weeks ago, and there is one more on deck due to land at my crib any day now! The anxiety is making me crazy! :rotate:
BTW, nice bike, Mark!
And VehiGaz, your 928 is gorgeous.
:) Bart
Tom, it's a full custom V-twin (sort of like a Harley-Davidson, but there are no actual Harley parts on it). It's not a high dollar custom because a lot of the parts where bought from various catalogs and then had some mild customization done to them, but the bike is 100% unique. It has a soft tail frame with a springer front end, a 100 cubic inch motor and a six speed transmission. I got to ride it during the mock-up phase and it's a monster. It has a ton of low end torque, and it will FLY down the interstate with no problems.
I seem to remember you wanting a bike so get one and let's go RIDE.
This is my latest . . . most well balanced machine I've ever driven.

I have had this for about a year. Soon to be a collectors item.

+1!! My VX never got up to high elevation, but there is nothing like compressing air to make up for thinner air. :)Quote:

i have always heard that externally the motors are easy, but internally you are royally #%@ed...gonna pay someone some serious $$$$ to fix anything inside the motor...
was it a shinka??
thats the special edition of the RX-8... black cherry paint :_drool:
A hole in the head, but a friend of mine's roommate is letting his '98 Subaru RS go (had a 2.5 STi swap done 2 years ago with many other tuned bells and whistles). Puts out 390hp. I always wanted one. Offered a VERY generous deal to me which is a steal so I am gonna consider it over the week. Looks like the pic but maroon....

That's the one I would choose also (but NOT subie blue.) Wish I had another hole in my garage.
hate to burst your bubble, but if you look under the hood you will see your car was made in Korea by Kia. First car they ever made for US sale.Quote:

The spectra to 2004 and the old sephia, yes, but anything since then is Kia/ Hyundia despign. The sportage is sand alone too. The 3.5 that Kia used up to 05/06 was a Mitsubishi design. Kia bought the design under contracts, like theny did for the Lotus Elan, built a Korean version.Quote:

Changing manifold gaskets one more time and if the CEL comes back for the same reason one more time.... she gets sold to some random Russian who wants a S/C, hahaha. THEN..... I get an old RS. ;)
We recently picked up a 2010 Fusion Sport with 3.5L and 6 speed auto. She traded in her 05 mustang, and we are loving the Fusion. It's a zippy machine with 260 HP.
I'm still driving a 2003 Escape with 130k miles on it... :rolleyes: But I have the VX and my bike too.

Lately i've thoughts about getting a cross bike;Saturday morning i drove by a cycle dealer & chech out this 250cc yamaha TT in blue/white.
This sales guy in his early 20's asked me why a motocross instead of one of the big guys,such as a CRB ?
Told him:Look,i drives a VehiCROSS so a MotoCROSS would add up nicely to the team.
He looked at me like: WTF you're talking about ? A vehi what ? VehiCROSS i replayed;He thought i was messing with him so had to show him what i was talikng about,we walked out side the parking lot & show him what i meant.
He was like: ! holly s... What is that ?
I told you,The VehiCROSS
Oh,ok,alright....I got you ! He said.
But that cars looks very weird though.
Yes,my mother n' law says the same thing too. He laugh.
My girlfriend looked at me protesting : Don't mess with her,some day she'll be physically able to get into the rear seats & drive with us.
With all that he say :That bike is running for 6K,but we have "recession sale" right now so you can drove off the show room for $4900 with oil change free for an year
I told him I need to check out my bank (capital one) to look at my options.
The sales guy say don't worry,the price is firm 'till recession is over,most likely for the next two/three years to come LOL
I noticed that i was the only visitor at the dealer during the 35+ minutes i spent in there,very sad though, especially at a dealer who sales all motocycle brands
Yes sir it sure is. :D Go big or go home I say.. Course I went a little too big the weekend. Note to self dont go over a hill if you dont know what is on other side, Specially a little fast. For me happened to be a 20 foot drop which i had to bail off bike lol.. Shoulder is paying for it today lol.Quote:

Well I couldnt pass up what I paid for it really. 2,500 and its a '06. I looked and looked and couldnt find anything better on price.
Ya I love it and glad I went with a 450 as my first dirt bike :D . Super easy to ride as apposed to my buddies 2 stroke (even tho his is older I am sure the newer ones are a bit better but still.)
yikes...450 for a first bike??? thats a lot of power...
just wait till the first time it lifts on you unexpected...i would bet money you will pull the throttle like any newbie...thats the advantage of a smaller bike to learn on, it doesnt launch you at 90mph lol...
glad your enjoying it, be careful, you have a big machine under you.
