Nut, you often seem to ask everyone advice on purchasing decisions but never seem to actually make a purchase.

You need to start buying stuff.

I was wondering when someone was going to call me out on that. I have noticed this too. I am really kindof a wussyboy in making decisions.

a coworker and my boss have me reconsidering. they say I should get at least a 750.

I don't anymore. I had a bike when I was a kid (as I posted earlier). I used to ride on a track up behind horsetooth lake (in Colorado) and a few others close by. I was thinking about trying my hand at motocross, but a friend of mine got hurt doing that, so I changed my mind.

I wouldn't be opposed to buying a harley or something like that. Another friend of mine owns a '69 softtail....it is a badass bike.

No, you misunderstand. Scooters make me feel pretty.

I just want to get around on a nice ride. If I had the means, I'd probably get a Beemer. I certainly have nothing opposed to HD, but I don't know what's so damn great about Harley Davidson honestly. It seems like almost a cult mentality. I dont' know about you, but what I ride or drive has no bearing on the man that I am.

Do you take the highway at all on your commute? How fast does your hogg need to go?

My commute is 5 miles one way. Max speed limit is 40 MPH so my 125 cc Yamaha Riva works well. Actually I feel like kind of a badass passing people sometimes.

Whatever you do don’t get a Chinese POS.

This may be a little old school for you young pukes, but I have really thought about a "poor mans Harley" or a "mini Harley".

Sound cool, pretty fast and a lot of fun. Had one when I was a kid in the 60's .....

No, I don't really care about style points...just busting your chops a little.

Tubby, do the chinese make scooters? Or are you talking about the Japanese?

yes. I've been steered away from Peace Sport. the max speed limit is 45 mph I think. but peole get up to 50. I was paying attention last night. I'll get at least a 250 for around here. that might even get me a trip to the morgue
