Further proof I'm white trash
01/09/17 at 18:32:56
Just read that the average income for R9T buyers is in the $150-175K range, and that 10% of them are first time bike buyers.

In theory, theory and reality are the same. In reality, they aren't...

Armen , That's why you fit in so well here , your at home with the rest of the white trash round here !
We just don't talk about it , we just try and believe that we are better than the other forums !
But this is clearly the best forum I know of. Good people here !

Yes, one very common asset among the members or this forum, is that we tend to be somewhat frugal. What other forum chooses to adopt bikes that are so primitive and affordable, and recommends $50-$60 Shinko tires as the best choice for bikers on a budget?
I would really like to have a BMW motorcycle someday (R 1200 RT) - but in reality that will likely never happen, as I am not in that higher income bracket, and I just cannot divert that kind of play money to an expensive motorcycle.
Instead....I enjoy riding and tinkering with my 30HP mistress! (I have given her jug an augmentation!)

Dave , I think we all would like to spend a years salary on a bike without being tossed to the streets by our wives. I could buy some fancy high tech bike but I don't. For me it's a little more primal,like cooking meat on a stick over a fire and a air cooled big single takes me back in time. One cylinder,one carb & big exhaust gets it for me. Simplicity , oh yeah !
What a thrill when you built it and now you riding it , so rewarding , so much freakin fun ! I know I'm sick !

Three years ago I had A 2009 Savage, 1999 1100 ACE Honda, 2002 HD 1200 Sportster and a 2015 Triumph Bonneville. Got a wild hair and sold them all.
Today I own a 2005 Suzuki Savage. Works for me. Only one I wanted to replace.

Like the saying goes... "Old age and a devious mind ....."

As with all projects, I'm still at it...
"Maintenance" morphs into "upgrades" and "head scratching" into "changes / modifications"....... Front forks and brake... Yup... Now I'm in the process of converting to a chain.... (Although I'll keep the belt and pulleys on the shelf for a while.) As the Goldwing rider told his passenger... "THAT'S Old School"...

Yeah, but all it really does is take you from point A to point B and lose half it's value in 3 years. Think of all the cheap beer you can buy with that.

I would love to have a Ducati Scrambler, but even that I feel is a bit too much for me for a non necessity. It is nice to dream though.
