  • Motorcycle update

    Well, I did it. I got my license successfully a couple of weeks ago. I've been itching ever since to get myself a bike. Went a saw a couple of wrecks (they looked great in the ads!). Got very dissappointed that I wouldn't be able to get anything of decent quality for a reasonable price.

    This afternoon, I found it. It's an '83 Honda Nighthawk 650, with about 28,000 kms on it (17,500 miles). Runs beautifully, no rust, and it seems to have been taken care of quite well. It has the 6-speed OD transmission, and LCD displays for selected gear and fuel (adds to the geek factor ). I got it for a mere CAD$1700. Should be able to pick it up by wednesday. WooHoo!!!

    By the way, thanks to everyone who made suggestions in my last motorcycle thread. Particular thanks go to Rags for suggesting the nighthawk. It suits me perfectly. It would have been much harder with the help of you guys.

        Wow, I love those bikes, and always have.

        Any time you need a mechanic to work on it, you know who to talk to

          Cool, I'll keep that in mind. However, if it's in need of a mechanic, how am I going to get it to Wyoming?

          Thanks man.
