Very True.

Harleys, BMWs, Old brit Iron, Ducatis and even the newer Triumphs all hold their value. Rice burners don't just burn rice they burn dollars/pounds in depreciation too.

I've got a relatively new Triumph and had to chuckle the other day when I noticed it leaking a bit. I figure it's just marking it's territory.

Skydancer · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2005, 12:17:02 PM »

What is it and where does it leak from?

GrimCO · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2005, 12:24:51 PM »

It's oil,

Haven't searched to find the source of the leak yet. Definitely coming from above the oil pan though.

A few years back a buddy of mine ordered a new harley, he had it sold for a nice profit before he even received it. I don't know what it is about them, and I am not sure if demand is still that high, but at the time they were selling faster than they could make them.

I looked at some bikes last year and I was looking at yamaha cruising bikes, I could have got a real nice one for about 8-10k, used even cheaper. But that dirty word is has become part of my vocabulary as the years have passed.....practical.

Yammer Hammer is the poster child for the metal recycling industry.

Nice looking bike.

Man I wish I lived where you live. Palm trees and warm weather. Here it is -15 C and windy, being that it is mid March we only have maybe 8 more weeks of crappy weather to look forward to.

lol! maybe in a few months I will be.

I really just wanted an excuse to post a picture of the bike ( again) after I washed it that day. I then took some pics and placed an add in traderonline. Now just waiting for the add to be approved.

It's a pretty awesome bike, but I had it for over two years and just hardly ever rode it.

Skydancer · « **Reply #27 on:** March 08, 2005, 05:19:25 PM »

Don't sell it just go ride it.

Want it more practical for lugging stuff? Put two wheels on the back and a tow hitch. One awsome trike.

Just a thought.

NUKE, I opened this Thread expecting to see a bunch of Amway products.

Thank God you haven't sunk that far.
