I also have a rat-rodded Honda C100 Super Cub I’m working on but that’s still a few good sessions away from being a functional bike - needs electricals and some other stuff slapped on before I’m ready to get many photos
I drive a 2005 tan Prius. Boy it doesn’t feel good to drive, but I like getting 400 miles out of $20 of gas quite a bit.
I used to drive a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja but almost got into too many accidents to keep riding it in Oregon. Only worth driving three months of the year too
what’s up with the 636? once you get it running again it should go for a good while, given it’s a Japanese four-banger, so if it’s something as simple as a carb clean or some electrical gremlin, probably worth getting done
Did a track day and let let it sit unused for a while. After a track day you’re supposed to flush your brake fluid. I didn’t because I got really busy. So now I need to replace my front and rear master cylinders.
I’m gonna need to replace the brake pads and tyres in the next couple of months, which ain’t gonna be cheap. I spend almost as much a month on this per month as I do on rent. Every bit of common sense I have tells me to get something cheaper.
But god damn, when I put my foot down all that common sense goes away, along with all the other problems in the world. This car is my self care. I love it.
2018, Subaru Crosstrek. Affectionately called, “The Pumpkin”! Picked her up earlier this year after my 99 Civic started piling on repairs, to a point where I just figured a new ride would be better to put money into. And she does me beautiful for the lifestyle I try to live~
I put an MTech front bumper, yellow fogs, LUX angel eyes and yellow hi/lo bulbs. Lets me run yellow fogs and DRLs at the same time for that euro look. I also got the wood trim wrapped w/ 3M brushed aluminum vinyl. I love the way it looks and drives. It has about 120k on the odo and it still drives and handles better than most cars around me. Modern 4-door BMWs are big, bloated and slow. My N52 has 255hp from the factory and I wouldnt even think about buying a new BMW today unless it has an ///M badge.
I’m not big into cars. Got my Fiat Punto when I got the license, never changed it even if I’m thinking about doing it eight years later. If it goes, I’m OK with it, I don’t need much else.
I’m in love though with my bike. It’s a Kawasaki Z900, total black, and I already almost killed myself on it even if I own it since March of this year. Still love it though.
it’s a bummer the Nuda is probably never gonna see the light of day in the US market - ah well, at least we have some similar Italian bikes like the Aprilia Dorsoduro and Ducati Hypermotard
Yeah it’s a shame it was such a short lived model. They’re pretty rare here in Australia. I can’t see KTM bringing a Nuda model back when they have the Dukes.
friend of mine’s got the 690 Duke and that’s already a lot of bike - sounds like the 790 parallel twin coming down the pipeline is gonna be double crazy
