Takes a while to get back to speed.

I saw it was 5k and asked, "Is it used?"
They said no, that's the brand new price.

That sounds way too doable once a certain car payment goes away in January especially

Before you get all excited...

look into the maintenance schedule on one of those.

They require top end refresh on a certain schedule...

The same goes for lower ends...

Morning.  Been busy and not much riding.  I'm covering a bus route for a bit, so I'm leaving around 5:30 so no Monster riding.  The neighbors hate it enough when I leave at 6:45...

How is the A3?  I looked at those the last time I was looking for fun but useful cars.

I also found a ML500 with 132,000 miles complete with all service records for $8k.  Vehicle I could enjoy & my wife could drive in the winter.

a guy there races one.
Racing it every weekend, he's tearing it down twice a year

The amount I'd be using one, maybe once every year or two
and it's a two stroke so that's stupid easy
