Default My new Vehicles...



A 1992 Kawasaki ZX-6, with issues, and a 1982 Honda Nighthawk. The honda is a solid runner, which I'm keeping.

I got both bikes for $400

The Kawasaki has been sitting for sometime, so it has rust concerns, and the bike was dropped, while stationary. Which broke the front brake lever. I also fear the motor may be seized.

In a world of cheeseburger eating, cell phone text messaging, Barny DVD watching kids in the back seat having, soccer moms driving Dodge Durangos... bikes are death traps.

Maybe if you always trailered it to and from the track or trail...

Very true, but riding a bike, even in traffic, while scary, is one of my favorite activities.
Its more of a relationship riding a bike than driving a car.
