Kinda looks like the suby, too. ;D
Issues Jeff...Issues!!! [cheeky] [laugh]
Off to the skins game...everybody be safe and have a great weekend!!!
By the way...saw a car...liked it a lot...but not enough to get rid of suby!!! She is my girl and I just can't give her up. 2004 Infiniti M45...it was very pretty with a whole lot of power and features. Payment would actually go down. I have to think on it over the weekend.

Dunno Kris, can't really see you pimpin' in an Infinity. I think the pacer's more your style!
Besides, you'll DEFINITELY be the only one on your block neighborhood city state!
;D
Speakin' of new vehicles, I rode up to Redline today. Tested a 696 w/Termis and a "comfort" seat. Much nicer than my old 620. A couple of minor ticks against it, the seat is NOT comfortable (Maybe o.k. for short folks, not for me) kept pushing my yarbles into the tank, and the joint between the two frames catches me right at the knees. Other than that, very sweet. [thumbsup] I could be doin' a trade soon.

The 696 fits me great!  But i'm also really short!   ;D

Wow Jeff...696!!! ;D [thumbsup] I'm all for it. Do it. I still have not given up on my 916/996 I just have to wait a litle longer. Bulldog...Jump off the deep end...take a swim. Come on man do it!!! :P

Oh I will... Once I get this house fixed up for rental shape. 


Does anyone know if we can eat fish out of Va Beach water ways and lakes, I know some are ok to eat from but some have advisories such as the MT Trashmore lake.  I have a lake in my backyard with plenty of fish (just caught a huge Cat Fish yesterday) and I'm located off Holland and Lynhaven Pkwy.  I was going to eat my catch of the day but I was a little worried about dirty waters; so, I tossed that sucker back into the water.  Shame, it was a BIG fish!

Kris, yeah, I like the bike, but I'm really enjoying not having a monthly payment! We'll see. If you're serious about that big Infinity, I'd go on KBB and check the MPG on that thing. No point lowering your payment if you raise your fuel bill, and you may be able to use that info to get a better deal on it.
Bulldog, You can check with VB parks and rec. to see whether you can eat that fish. I'd bet you can. Trashmore lake is closed for obvious reasons! Unless your neighborhood was built on a landfill, or industrial site, the fish should be safe to eat.

Jeff,
I'll check, I'm originaly skeptical because I'm only 4-5 miles away from MT. Trashmore towards Lynnhaven Mall.  I see people fish out fo the lake all the time so thats a good sign.  Looks like I'll be fishing tomorrow ;D

Nice topic you put up today bulldog. I like seeing a list of inexpensive bikes that people would like to have. I mean everyone wants a D16. You know?

Ya, got tired of people saying they wanted a d16 or some ultra high dollar ride.  I had to edit the title to say affordable, it started getting out of hand in the first few post.  I wanted to see what kind of taste the DMF has from the ADV rider crowd.  I feel like I'm stuck in the middle :)

+1 Dawg. Good topic.
Not much on dirt ridin', never have been. I'm holding 2 Honda dirtbikes for a friend whose a guest of the state for a year, a 125 2-stroke, and a 250, also 2-stroke. Haven't even spun 'em over.
my shortlist:
GPZ 750
Indian Chief
Honda PC800

The PC800 will probably be my next 2-wheel purchase.  Just as soon as I can find a decent one for a fair price.

I have wanted a DRZ 400sm for a long time. It is so affordable but Ive always heard that its under-powered. Its best that I dont have one because I wouldnt have a liscense anymore due to all the whellies :D I mean a dirt bike on the street, forget about it.

I have a dirt bike for street use....wheelie machine, it is not!  It's gutless but it is economical.  I'll be happy with a 696 and a sm. 

Bun-bun

Economical is one of the things I love about my 620. I just filled the tank today, 1.45 gallons for 85 miles of riding. ;D

I hear you. I rode my 82 GS 450 about 200 miles sunday and got damn near 64 MPG! That was cool. But 200 mi. with no rear suspension and getting caught in the rain with no front fender sucked! Dont let the complaining fool you, I had a killer time.
