Interestingly, today I heard what US Amps was supposedly sold for.

Let me tell you, for that price I would have (and could have) bought the damned company

care to elaborate?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It was a reasonable 5-figures

damn..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

On this day ten years ago at the young age of 20 I paid cash for a brand new 1998 540i.

My doors need sound deadoned as well as my panels...............a heatgun would be usefull if I actually had a garage I was doing it in

Don't need a garage, either, I did mine outside, in the snow But I don't recommend it...

Waiting for BM'ers to pop up for sale around here And nobody I know is into European bikes, all the people I know here who ride are Harley folk...

... wow.

I did like dun brothers, but I didn't really pay attention. I am not prepaired to spend 2k on coffee gear just yet. I would love to try a cup though.

I am partial to espresso, and that is what those machines are for correct?

yes, the machine is not as important as the grinder. If you had a $700 budget, I'd spend $500 of it on the grinder and $200 on the machine.

hrm...

elaborate please? I never knew the grind was so important! I would love a cappucinno every morning for sure.

and beemers hold their value like a harley as well. sad thing is, it's the wrong time of the year (especially with current gas prices) to be looking to buy a scoot. everyone is out riding, lol! late fall/winter is the time to buy. noone wants to pay for something just sitting in the garage.

why beemer? i can see you on a 1200 sporty, and those can be had cheap.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So I'm no longer a beat up truck driving man... '96 Cadilliac, white 4dr, dark burgundy interior, 4.6L Northstar, 136k miles... I'll put some photos up later when I get it washed.

Very good point, works out as I'll have more cash available by then, anyway.

What I'm looking for in a bike is...something not outrageous in price, something that'll last for a long time, something that's slightly quirky and oddball in a crowd The newer Triumphs look like a very good option, but they're still slightly over my budget (in the $4k'ish range). I realize something older is going to be more finicky and tempermental, but it's not like I'm going to be depending on it to get anywhere, and a goal of mine this summer is to finally clear out some space in the basement at my folks' place so I have a nice organized indoor area to do maintenance or if I need to fix anything.

The Cadillac doesn't have a CD player though... Might have to upgrade the sound system some time in it...

so the question is, is there anything interesting to do in Little Rock on a Saturday night....

I had to stop for a moment and look at that engine

400/455 pontiac???

What a coincidence ... just found out I will be needing to go to Victoria next June.

Awesome. Definitely staying at the Empress.

triumphs have always been kick ass. $4k for a good scoot isn't a bad price, and for that, there's lots of options as well. are you just shopping locally or looking online as well?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well today has officialy sucked balls

I will post a new thread all about the last part...............All I am gonna say right now is I am shaken, not stirred (spelling??)

J

Jim should get a Ducati Desmosedici RR.

Jim should get a Ducati Desmosedici RR.

those are pretty sweet, but not really jim's style. if he ducati...

that 250 scrambler would work. i also like every one of the monster's.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

actually, that 2007 GT 1000 is right up jim's alley, IMO. and it's not a bad looking retro look either. and with 992 twin cylinder worth of ccs, that thing should move along quite nicely as well.
