Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Haha the issue you'd have is that its currently a rather rickety old one stall garage. I plan on pulling that down and replacing it with a 24x30 extra deep two stall I think. 

 

The place needs some updates but I think after I put some updates on the place I'll off load it and be money ahead.

Oh dont you worry , 2strokes are my specialty , but i was thinking more in line with the Tomos line of mopeds . APN6 to be precise.

My neibghour has two Vespas . I got a ride on one as a reward from helping him fix it up . Its a comfy ride but it likes to tilt to the right side since the engine weight isnt balanced by anything. 

The vespas are not balanced on the old ones and slow and heavy on newer ones. They're more like apple products now than anything

I like to kill hardware. In 2016 alone I have killed 20 Xeon 5160, and 10+ Pentium 4.

Get a ruckus. The least hipster scooter 

Never really liked the ruckus. Looks like all the stripped down scooters when i was in high school.

 

If i was getting a honda i'd get a CB750,Rebel, Shadow or Valkyrie

The rebel is nice, I had a zuma and would recommend it except 99% of anyone says your headlight is out but one is a low beam and one is a high.

Been crazy busy since I moved out, so I haven't been keeping up with the thread. I put up some wall decorations at the new place and thought I'd share. ?

Yeah the Zuma has kind of a funky design. I was thinking more along the lines of the old designs

Decided to check how many saabs i could spot in just a short trip of my home town in google street view. In 2.5kms i saw 53.  

@RevoltTrain

Just type in Drottninggatan 39 trollhättan in street view on google maps and pick any direction. 

Also if you look around at that location for a big red brick tower you'll find the tower i've been trying to get an apartment in for about six years now.

Top floor is just one apartment. And it is awesome.

I vote 80s toyota pickup. Those things are dead indestructible, and are very utilitarian.

 

Wouldn't mind one of them but they're impossible to find in any kind of good condition where I am due to them being horrible for rusting out here in winter. Also they are not quite my style and big enough for me lol

The Valkyrie is essentially a (Naked) sporty gold wing. I don't need a lot of utility on a bike.
