ok well just thought id share the fact that not having a bike and wanting one so bad is driving me crazy. ive finally come to the point where im going to sell my only car to get a bike... i know its not smart cause of bad weather and whatnot, but ive already discussed all this with friends and family and they are willing to give me rides if ever the weather turns to SH**. i still have to wait to buy off the motor for my car but it will make my cars worth go up. so if all goes well i hope to be joining some of yall out here in texas at the meets and stuff. dont even have a bike yet and im excited.

oh and if anyone is interested and wants to help out a r6 lover to get one :hammer lol my car will be for sale in about a month. its a 1991 VW Jetta GL: 8 valve SOHC 4 cyl... soon to be a Jetta JTI: 16 valve DOHC 4 cyl.

Congratz!

I moved to florida and bought a 04 r6 as my only means of transportation.
Of course, living with my friend and his sister is a big help on me scopin rides out to the bars and other places when I "shouldnt" be riding.

i know plenty of ppl that have just the bike as their transportation.... a true rider will always ride, no matter what the weather.....god i love my rain suit haha

I thought Texas was good weather year round? Well maybe not the very northern parts....

I do remember a Thanksgiving day game where it was snowing in Dallas but warm in sunny in Buffalo.... That was really funny. :hammer
I grew up 40mins from Buffalo

I have several friends with just a bike. Of course we live in Arizona where it only rains for a couple weeks out of the year. But even when I lived in North Texas, I knew people with a bike as their only means of transportation!

 

[oCe04r6]

have you ever thought of keeping the car and getting a bike at the same time?

start with a bike that maybe won't hurt the pocket as much and would be some great experiance. I started on a 1991 fzr 600 and never had any problems with getting complements and keeping up with every one else on the freeway. it also shows you the fundamentals of riding before taking the risk of damaging a great new ride! then as you grow, step it up.

its always cool to have another rider out on the street, but be smart about it.

you don't want to end up like me with a damaged bike and body.
