We did a lease option on a house we were going to buy before the floor fell out. Our lender and broker both went under. I’m kinda happy we didn’t buy it b/c we have become another number in the long list of foreclosures. I’m happy with renting, but the wife isn’t. she still wants a house, so I’m looking for a townhouse in our area…with a garage. That’s all I want is just a good size garage.

 

Only thing that sucks by you is that HOA bs. i hated that crap when i was looking at houses in Wilmington. **** that noise.

 

Yeah. I’ll be checking to make sure the hoa’s are reasonable…the fees and their requirements.

 

Vr4 all the way! I love those things, and I hate miatas. I donk know if it's because I know I can't fit into one, or all the dumb stuff that people do to them.

 

i got our house for a steal also, but, if you actually pay for a house, even a STEAL, for 30 years, and put a few thousand a year into it in upgrades...you'll, in most cases, still break even. the interest is a big number over that time.

i dont intend to pay for my house for 15 years, much less 30. every situation is different, obviously. my 15 year goal is to be completely out of debt (only really have house debt anyways, and a student loan for sara's masters degree, but she is still working on that.)

 

Buying a home where I live is not happening in my lifetime, even with the market crash.. houses in NY... Long Island specific are outrageous. Taxes here will drive this place into one big NYC eventually. I hope to either venture down south or far west as soon as surgery is over, health is 100% and the car is "finished".... I have realized I am a warm weather person, this snow and cold stuff is just is not for me.

I know were shying away from EF's... but its cool to kinda see the other side to the random names we've all been talking to for a few years.

 

Motobecane...nice. They are making some good looking Ti frames.


Those Galants are SLEEPERS. If it's in good shape and you're willing to repair it, I say go for it.

Congrats on the home!


Remodel took a month...super stressful so I hear ya!


I hope to finish my garage remodel over dec/jan when I have a break from school. That'll be ef related so I'll for sure post pics

 

It already has a semi-nice saddle too!



It's no Brooks, but for my first 'nice' bike....AWESOME!

60" Frame, Big Bike for my ridiculous legs.

And that's a big point for the VR4....I'm only 6 feet tall, but my legs are stupid long....For example I wear 30x36 pants.

I love both lol. Whatever I get I just want to subtly improve. new wheels, lowered, random nice body pieces

How'd you know it needed work!?

Yeah I'm excited about the bike! Friend of mine is way too tall for it, so he's letting it go cheap!

I just watched a motorweek review on the VR-4 for lulz....0-60 in 6.5 Seconds!!! SO QUICK.

Thanks for the advice guys!

 

Anyone taking a trip to a junkyard soon please let me know.. Im in search for some crx ( I am pretty sure hatch's and sedans work as well) FRONT Lower Control Arms. Nothing fancy... as long as I can just bolt em' in for a quick move of the car. Trying not to spend too much on them... Just trying to avoid assembling all the powder coated pieces just yet.

Sorry guys... back to the bikes and houses!!

 

Woo bikes and houses!

Anybody rides bikes? As in motorcycles lol

 

anyone?

 

What are you looking for out of the it?

I've heard good stuff about Skunk2 Pro-C's
Function & Form ride comfortably

 

its going to be mostly for road racing

 

I'm not the one to ask then....but I say Pro-C's

 

Koni Yellow's with ground controls.

 

Let me know if you don't have anything by next Thursday. I'll be able to hit up the junk yard then.

My father and I are redoing is old Harley. Looking to buy one for myself in the spring!

 

Thank you, I may have to wait.. everything on the east coast is rusted up and needs new bushings pressed in. I just need a temporary set to roll my car around on. I found a set on e-bay but 42$+shipping a side seems steep.. should have jumped on a decent set I saw for 45$ shipped.

Probably the only part I don't have a spare of!

 

im currently rebuilding my second motorcycle right now. 08 zx6r. i was ran off the road a few months ago and ive been slowly buying parts to build it back. i was finally released to go back to work at the beginning of the month after broke my foot, so now that im getting a regular paycheck again, i can start buying more parts.

think once i get a new tank and fairings, im gonna paint them champ white and keep the wheels kawi green

 

Nice! My dad is the person who got me into motorcycles. I can't afford one right now (only 18 and a full time student) but I've always loved his, and I have my license so I could ride his

He's a HUGE H-D guy, off the top of my head he's had:

3 Road Glides
2 or 3 Ultra Classics
1 or 2 Regular Classics
Dyna
2 or 3 V-Rods
Buell Lightning
Buell Ulysses
BMW R1200RT
BMW F800ST
BMW R1200GS
Suzuki Hayabusa
Triumph Speed Triple
Yamaha FZ6

I'm sure there are a bunch more

lol


DAMN! I feel like I remember you posting that when it happened...good to hear you're back up and working though! CW with the Kawi Green will be awesome!

 

if i every owned a bike, it'd be for track only

 

been thinking about those, you can get custom spring rates right?

And ive been also lookin into PICS as well. Anyone know pros and cons for them? custom spring rates?

 

I'm going with FF coils.

 

haven't had a single problem with my D2's in the 2 years they've been on my cra
